Devotional Circuits
with Adriana Blidaru, Yinka Elujoba, Shanti Escalante, Angie Sijun Lou, Geoffrey Mak, Journey Streams, and Simon Wu
Géza, 306 Maujer
Organized in collaboration with Adriana Blidaru through her curatorial agency Living Content and presented in conjunction with Lu Yang’s exhibition DOKU! DOKU! DOKU!: samsara.exe, Devotional Circuits is a workshop and reading in which six participants “write alongside” Lu Yang’s immersive worlds of spirituality, transcendence, queerness, and technological mysticism. The writers bring together a wide range of practices — from art criticism, curatorial writing, and narrative nonfiction to poetry, fiction, and diasporic storytelling — each grounded in critical explorations of identity, technology, and the sacred. Following a closed workshop, the evening opens to the public with readings that move between the poetic, narrative, and analytical. Featuring Simon Wu, Angie Sijun Lou, Geoffrey Mak, Journey Streams, Yinka Elujoba, and Shanti Escalante de Mattei.
