SUMMARY:Collective Liberation Workshop with artist Julie Weitz
DESCRIPTION:Led by The Psychedelic Tzadik—the drag king persona of artist Julie Weitz—participants are invited to transform existential tsuris (trouble) into creative discovery through clowning\, storytelling\, and embodied improvisation. Drawing from Yiddish culture\, Hasidic wisdom\, and drag\, this participatory experience offers a playful yet profound space to explore identity\, justice\, and cultural memory. Together\, we confront personal and collective challenges while embracing the joy\, absurdity\, and radical potential of clowning. \nCurrently based in Berlin\, Julie Weitz (she/her) is an artist\, writer\, and educator who creates embodied\, collective experiences for repair by unearthing the wounds and resilience of diasporic culture. Her research-driven practice animates figures from Yiddish folklore\, exploring themes of loss and healing through their interactions at culturally significant sites—especially those where Yiddish culture was nearly eradicated.Through caricature\, folklorism\, and emplacement\, Weitz situates her practice within evolving trajectories of Jewish cultural expression\, in solidarity with global liberation movements. \nThis event is co-sponsored by Boston Workers Circle. Please share with anyone who’d be interested! Click here to register. The suggested sliding scale for this workshop is $18–48\, and nobody will be turned away for lack of funds. Donations will go directly to the artist to cover supplies and labor. Also\, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to Free Gaza Circus. \nREGISTER HERE
