The Sweeping Away Evil Panel is a part of Emily Mock’s 店面 Storefront Residency. Since October, Emily has been holding free workshops teaching paper cutting and shadow puppetry, and inviting participants to create a community shadow puppet theater.

This event asks panelists from several practices and fields how they “sweep away evil,” how they build home and safety for their communities, and what needs overcoming in the new year.

The panelists featured are:

Donna Mah, Chinese medicine practitioner

Fay Bonas, artist

Jes Tom, stand-up comic and actor

CAAAV's Chinatown Tenants Union

Muriel Miguel, Founder & Artistic Director, Spiderwoman Theater

We have a suggested donation of $5-10 that goes towards an honorarium for panelists, a master puppeteer performance during the residency window display opening, and materials for the residency. Thank you!
