Base Residency Open House with Saira Barbaric
Base Resident Artist Saira Barbaric (they/ he/ she/ ze) is a multidisciplinary, gender-blending hedonist creature in a thicc Black disabled human suit. His work exists in mediums and venues considered both high and low art with the aim of weakening the barrier between the two. Across discipline, Saira explores mythologies, sex, Afro Psychedelic dreams, ritual objects and glitch aesthetics as digital expressionism. The way to arch his back and bounce that fat was never shown to him. He twerked with enthusiasm before he ever saw Big Freedia and felt so validated when he did. Saira wants to explore the roots of twerk and sensual club dances to see how they connect with traditional African movement and ritual.
Please join us at Base on Saturday October 15 at 10am for Saira Barbarics Base Residency Open House. Enjoy a morning of tasty bites accompanied by art, discussion and a dance film premiere with Saira Barbaric. As their final output within the Base Residency program, Saira's excited to share their new work and their research.

Accessibility
Accessibility at Base:
The Factory has a ramped entrance located at the north end of the building (through the orange door); the southern entrance of the building is only accessible by stairs. The building has limited outside lighting and can be difficult to navigate and locate when its dark out.
Once inside, Base is accessible by ramp through our front doors. Please note that Base is not a scent-free space. The Factory has two gender neutral multi-stall restrooms and two single stall restrooms that are wheelchair accessible.
Because we share a building with other studios, there are often industrial noises throughout the building and heavy machinery operated such as forklifts.
