Guest Curated Series
Our community-responsive programming is guest-curated by Seattle-area artists, to increase opportunities where Seattle’s community voices can be seen and heard.
Fall 2024 Series: "Midlife: Private Parts in Public"
Guest Curator Angela Garbes hosts a series of conversations about female middle age - the decades-long period of transformation that almost never gets discussed publicly - with local artists and experts. The series includes a book group discussion, a conversation about intergenerational care, and a talk about what we might learn from orca whales about perimenopausal and postmenopausal sexuality.
About the Curator

Her work has appeared in The Guardian, The New York Times, The Cut, New York, Bon Appétit, and featured on NPR's Fresh Air.
