Fiber art as protest: three SoCal artists transform fabric, text, and tradition to confront censorship, free speech, and democracy.
(Culver City, CA) Village Well Books & Coffee presents “Free To Sp%@k!” a group exhibition by Southern California fiber artists Kathryn Pellman, Kelly Hartigan Goldstein, and MartyO, who test the tensile strength of free expression when language itself has become a battleground. Timed to coincide with the American Library Association’s annual Banned Books Week (October 4–11, 2025), The artists pose a direct question: What happens to a democracy when the First Amendment is treated as negotiable rather than fundamental?
Each artist responds using their craft not as quiet decoration but as deliberate disruption, embedding contested language directly into their materials. Together, they demonstrate that if voices held no power, efforts to suppress them would not be so relentless.
Moving between hush and outcry within tactile mediums of fiber and paper, these works engage the cont…

Abandoned, a solo exhibition by Los Angeles–based artist Monica Marks, will be on view October 25 through November 21, 2025 at Gallery 825, located at 825 N La Cienega Blvd, Los Angeles. An artist talk is scheduled for November 1 at 2 PM.
This immersive installation brings together sculpture, photography, painting, found-object assemblage, and projection to explore the haunting presence and layered human stories embedded in the abandoned homestead cabins of California’s Mojave Desert.
At the heart of the exhibition is a partially reconstructed “Jackrabbit Homestead”—structures originally built under the Small Tract Act of the 1950s and 1960s, which granted land parcels to homesteaders who often abandoned them after only a few years. Marks recreates one such home within the gallery: graffiti-tagged walls, discarded furniture, and weathered objects salvaged from the desert are placed in dialogue with a projection of brilliant desert sunsets and immersive sound recordings. The result is a poignant contradictio…

Step into the transformative world of artist, musician, and cultural icon Genesis P-Orridge in this acclaimed documentary, S/He Is Still Her/e, an official selection of both the Tribeca Film Festival and the Sheffield Doc Fest! The poignant music documentary film will be introduced by special guest Director David Charles Rodrigues, with a Q&A session to follow the screening.
From founding Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV to co-creating the groundbreaking concept of Pandrogyny, Genesis redefined the boundaries of gender, art, and spirituality. This intimate portrait—capturing Genesis’s final year of life—offers rare archival footage, candid interviews, and deeply personal reflections on love, loss, and identity.
Hailed by critics as “sympathetic,” “intimate,” and “invaluable glimpses into a radical life,” the film resonates with audiences who are curious, open-minded, and ready to explore what it means to live authentically, without fear or constraint.

In the period of 1965 to 1973 East L.A.’s musical community had to live and perform with the draft and the specter of going to Viet Nam and possibly dying hanging over their heads. The draft ended in 1973, so the musical artists of East L.A. that came after didn’t have that dark cloud over them. What happened to many during the time of America’s involvement in the Viet Nam war is their bands broke up, even the bands with hit records such as The Premiers and The Blendells, or their careers ended because they not only lost the momentum of their musical lives but due to PTSD had no desire to, or simply couldn’t continue.
The panel will be composed of three musicians/Viet Nam Veterans. Jerry Salas, lead singer of El Chicano, who had two national hits in the early 70s, “Viva Tirado” and “Tell Her She’s Lovely,” Sal Murillo, lead singer of The Blendells, who had a national hit, “La La La La La,” in 1965, and Fred Rivera, whose band Genesis had an album out on a major label and was performing on the Sunset Strip…

In a decaying Victorian hat shop, a reclusive milliner begins to unravel into madness after a series of strange visits—driven by grief, obsession, and the poisoned whispers of his father’s legacy.
The Last Hat is a one-act ensemble horror play written by Chris Levine, who is also featured as The Mad Hatter. Set in a once-thriving Victorian hat shop, the story follows a quiet and eccentric hatter whose life begins to spiral following visits from a grieving old client, a mischievous boy, and a curious young woman named Eliza.
What begins as a strange but tender connection with her quickly fractures as hallucinations, mercury-induced madness, and the weight of his father’s gruesome legacy consume him. With haunting imagery, dark humor, and stylized horror, the play weaves obsession, craftsmanship, and unrequited love into a final act of beauty and brutality that no one will forget.

Fiber art as protest: three SoCal artists transform fabric, text, and tradition to confront censorship, free speech, and democracy.
(Culver City, CA) Village Well Books & Coffee presents “Free To Sp%@k!” a group exhibition by Southern California fiber artists Kathryn Pellman, Kelly Hartigan Goldstein, and MartyO, who test the tensile strength of free expression when language itself has become a battleground. Timed to coincide with the American Library Association’s annual Banned Books Week (October 4–11, 2025), The artists pose a direct question: What happens to a democracy when the First Amendment is treated as negotiable rather than fundamental?
Each artist responds using their craft not as quiet decoration but as deliberate disruption, embedding contested language directly into their materials. Together, they demonstrate that if voices held no power, efforts to suppress them would not be so relentless.
Moving between hush and outcry within tactile mediums of fiber and paper, these works engage the cont…

Abandoned, a solo exhibition by Los Angeles–based artist Monica Marks, will be on view October 25 through November 21, 2025 at Gallery 825, located at 825 N La Cienega Blvd, Los Angeles. An artist talk is scheduled for November 1 at 2 PM.
This immersive installation brings together sculpture, photography, painting, found-object assemblage, and projection to explore the haunting presence and layered human stories embedded in the abandoned homestead cabins of California’s Mojave Desert.
At the heart of the exhibition is a partially reconstructed “Jackrabbit Homestead”—structures originally built under the Small Tract Act of the 1950s and 1960s, which granted land parcels to homesteaders who often abandoned them after only a few years. Marks recreates one such home within the gallery: graffiti-tagged walls, discarded furniture, and weathered objects salvaged from the desert are placed in dialogue with a projection of brilliant desert sunsets and immersive sound recordings. The result is a poignant contradictio…

San Jose, CA-based bassist Ken Okada began arranging big band charts during his college years in the ’90s in Japan and has been composing music ever since. His work is heavily influenced by Japanese/American jazz fusion, video game music, and modern/contemporary big band sounds.
In 2022, Ken met and jammed with then-13-year-old drumming prodigy Yoyoka. He was instantly captivated by her mature, solid groove and playful style. Without hesitation, he brought in Grammy Award-winning tenor saxophonist Ben Torres and DownBeat Magazine’s Rising Star guitarist Hristo Vitchev for a studio recording session for the band’s first album Square One. By the time of their second album, Young and Brave, the lineup expanded to include four-time Grammy-nominated pianist Murray Low, solidifying the band’s dynamic sound.

“A voice I could happily hear sing just about anything. She [sang] with real passion, sending the audience out buzzing.” (San Francisco Civic Center Blogspot)
Fresh off of triumphant appearances at Houston Grand Opera, Santa Fe Opera, Dutch Opera and the Metropolitan Opera, Raehann Bryce-Davis returns to St. Matthew’s Music Guild for a selection of operatic arias by Verdi, Dvořák, and Saint-Saëns plus a selection of soulful spirituals and folksongs.
Hailed by the New York Times as a “striking mezzo soprano” who “sings and speaks potently and moves vivaciously,” (New York Times), Raehann Bryce-Davis’s return to the Music Guild offers an intimate performance by an artist the New York Observer calls “one of the best mezzo-sopranos of this generation.”
Our casual pre-concert feature, “Liner notes,” offers conversation with Raehann Bryce-Davis and insights into the music and composers. “Liner notes” begins at 7:10pm in the church and is free to all ticket holders.

In a decaying Victorian hat shop, a reclusive milliner begins to unravel into madness after a series of strange visits—driven by grief, obsession, and the poisoned whispers of his father’s legacy.
The Last Hat is a one-act ensemble horror play written by Chris Levine, who is also featured as The Mad Hatter. Set in a once-thriving Victorian hat shop, the story follows a quiet and eccentric hatter whose life begins to spiral following visits from a grieving old client, a mischievous boy, and a curious young woman named Eliza.
What begins as a strange but tender connection with her quickly fractures as hallucinations, mercury-induced madness, and the weight of his father’s gruesome legacy consume him. With haunting imagery, dark humor, and stylized horror, the play weaves obsession, craftsmanship, and unrequited love into a final act of beauty and brutality that no one will forget.
The Last Hat is directed by Megan Ripchik, produced by Erica Tenaglia. Proceeds support the Santa Monica Playhouse Save the Mai…

Fiber art as protest: three SoCal artists transform fabric, text, and tradition to confront censorship, free speech, and democracy.
(Culver City, CA) Village Well Books & Coffee presents “Free To Sp%@k!” a group exhibition by Southern California fiber artists Kathryn Pellman, Kelly Hartigan Goldstein, and MartyO, who test the tensile strength of free expression when language itself has become a battleground. Timed to coincide with the American Library Association’s annual Banned Books Week (October 4–11, 2025), The artists pose a direct question: What happens to a democracy when the First Amendment is treated as negotiable rather than fundamental?
Each artist responds using their craft not as quiet decoration but as deliberate disruption, embedding contested language directly into their materials. Together, they demonstrate that if voices held no power, efforts to suppress them would not be so relentless.
Moving between hush and outcry within tactile mediums of fiber and paper, these works engage the cont…

Abandoned, a solo exhibition by Los Angeles–based artist Monica Marks, will be on view October 25 through November 21, 2025 at Gallery 825, located at 825 N La Cienega Blvd, Los Angeles. An artist talk is scheduled for November 1 at 2 PM.
This immersive installation brings together sculpture, photography, painting, found-object assemblage, and projection to explore the haunting presence and layered human stories embedded in the abandoned homestead cabins of California’s Mojave Desert.
At the heart of the exhibition is a partially reconstructed “Jackrabbit Homestead”—structures originally built under the Small Tract Act of the 1950s and 1960s, which granted land parcels to homesteaders who often abandoned them after only a few years. Marks recreates one such home within the gallery: graffiti-tagged walls, discarded furniture, and weathered objects salvaged from the desert are placed in dialogue with a projection of brilliant desert sunsets and immersive sound recordings. The result is a poignant contradictio…

In a decaying Victorian hat shop, a reclusive milliner begins to unravel into madness after a series of strange visits—driven by grief, obsession, and the poisoned whispers of his father’s legacy.
The Last Hat is a one-act ensemble horror play written by Chris Levine, who is also featured as The Mad Hatter. Set in a once-thriving Victorian hat shop, the story follows a quiet and eccentric hatter whose life begins to spiral following visits from a grieving old client, a mischievous boy, and a curious young woman named Eliza.
What begins as a strange but tender connection with her quickly fractures as hallucinations, mercury-induced madness, and the weight of his father’s gruesome legacy consume him. With haunting imagery, dark humor, and stylized horror, the play weaves obsession, craftsmanship, and unrequited love into a final act of beauty and brutality that no one will forget.

Free To Sp%@k
Fiber art as protest: three SoCal artists transform fabric, text, and tradition to confront censorship, free speech, and democracy.
(Culver City, CA) Village Well Books & Coffee presents “Free To Sp%@k!” a group exhibition by Southern California fiber artists Kathryn Pellman, Kelly Hartigan Goldstein, and MartyO, who test the tensile strength of free expression when language itself has become a battleground. Timed to coincide with the American Library Association’s annual Banned Books Week (October 4–11, 2025), The artists pose a direct question: What happens to a democracy when the First Amendment is treated as negotiable rather than fundamental?
Each artist responds using their craft not as quiet decoration but as deliberate disruption, embedding contested language directly into their materials. Together, they demonstrate that if voices held no power, efforts to suppress them would not be so relentless.
Moving between hush and outcry within tactile mediums of fiber and paper, these works engage the cont…

Abandoned, a solo exhibition by Los Angeles–based artist Monica Marks, will be on view October 25 through November 21, 2025 at Gallery 825, located at 825 N La Cienega Blvd, Los Angeles. An artist talk is scheduled for November 1 at 2 PM.
This immersive installation brings together sculpture, photography, painting, found-object assemblage, and projection to explore the haunting presence and layered human stories embedded in the abandoned homestead cabins of California’s Mojave Desert.
At the heart of the exhibition is a partially reconstructed “Jackrabbit Homestead”—structures originally built under the Small Tract Act of the 1950s and 1960s, which granted land parcels to homesteaders who often abandoned them after only a few years. Marks recreates one such home within the gallery: graffiti-tagged walls, discarded furniture, and weathered objects salvaged from the desert are placed in dialogue with a projection of brilliant desert sunsets and immersive sound recordings. The result is a poignant contradictio…

In a decaying Victorian hat shop, a reclusive milliner begins to unravel into madness after a series of strange visits—driven by grief, obsession, and the poisoned whispers of his father’s legacy.
The Last Hat is a one-act ensemble horror play written by Chris Levine, who is also featured as The Mad Hatter. Set in a once-thriving Victorian hat shop, the story follows a quiet and eccentric hatter whose life begins to spiral following visits from a grieving old client, a mischievous boy, and a curious young woman named Eliza.
What begins as a strange but tender connection with her quickly fractures as hallucinations, mercury-induced madness, and the weight of his father’s gruesome legacy consume him. With haunting imagery, dark humor, and stylized horror, the play weaves obsession, craftsmanship, and unrequited love into a final act of beauty and brutality that no one will forget.

Fiber art as protest: three SoCal artists transform fabric, text, and tradition to confront censorship, free speech, and democracy.
(Culver City, CA) Village Well Books & Coffee presents “Free To Sp%@k!” a group exhibition by Southern California fiber artists Kathryn Pellman, Kelly Hartigan Goldstein, and MartyO, who test the tensile strength of free expression when language itself has become a battleground. Timed to coincide with the American Library Association’s annual Banned Books Week (October 4–11, 2025), The artists pose a direct question: What happens to a democracy when the First Amendment is treated as negotiable rather than fundamental?
Each artist responds using their craft not as quiet decoration but as deliberate disruption, embedding contested language directly into their materials. Together, they demonstrate that if voices held no power, efforts to suppress them would not be so relentless.

Abandoned, a solo exhibition by Los Angeles–based artist Monica Marks, will be on view October 25 through November 21, 2025 at Gallery 825, located at 825 N La Cienega Blvd, Los Angeles. An artist talk is scheduled for November 1 at 2 PM.
This immersive installation brings together sculpture, photography, painting, found-object assemblage, and projection to explore the haunting presence and layered human stories embedded in the abandoned homestead cabins of California’s Mojave Desert.
At the heart of the exhibition is a partially reconstructed “Jackrabbit Homestead”—structures originally built under the Small Tract Act of the 1950s and 1960s, which granted land parcels to homesteaders who often abandoned them after only a few years. Marks recreates one such home within the gallery: graffiti-tagged walls, discarded furniture, and weathered objects salvaged from the desert are placed in dialogue with a projection of brilliant desert sunsets and immersive sound recordings. The result is a poignant contradictio…

Free To Sp%@k
Fiber art as protest: three SoCal artists transform fabric, text, and tradition to confront censorship, free speech, and democracy.
(Culver City, CA) Village Well Books & Coffee presents “Free To Sp%@k!” a group exhibition by Southern California fiber artists Kathryn Pellman, Kelly Hartigan Goldstein, and MartyO, who test the tensile strength of free expression when language itself has become a battleground. Timed to coincide with the American Library Association’s annual Banned Books Week (October 4–11, 2025), The artists pose a direct question: What happens to a democracy when the First Amendment is treated as negotiable rather than fundamental?
Each artist responds using their craft not as quiet decoration but as deliberate disruption, embedding contested language directly into their materials. Together, they demonstrate that if voices held no power, efforts to suppress them would not be so relentless.
Moving between hush and outcry within tactile mediums of fiber and paper, these works engage the cont…
