Upcoming FUND performance stream live via the FF LOFT: Natasha Jozi (FUND 2022) @natashajozi
“Return To The Story That Hold You” on Oct 25, 2025, 1:00pm EST (7:00 pm CEST)
Canela Art Studio – Innere Wiener Straße 28, 81667 München @canela_artstudio
Project description:
“Return to the Story That Holds You” situates performance as a site of ancestral remembrance and embodied research. Drawing on South Asian heritage and Indigenous epistemologies, the work reactivates practices of communal gathering in which ritual, storytelling, and care functioned as modes of survival and connection. These ancestral practices—singing, braiding, washing, sharing—are not staged as spectacle but reframed as performative strategies through which memory is materialized and transmitted.
Elemental materials such as water and metal operate as symbolic agents of continuity and transformation: water as cyclical return and cleansing, metal as bearing the marks of forging and reshaping. Within this framework, gestures of intimacy and care resonate with Victor Turner’s notion of communitas and Judith Butler’s theory of performativity, where relation itself generates meaning.
The work positions performance as ceremony, opening a threshold where wounds surface, memory circulates, and fragments of the past are re-membered into forms of belonging, intimacy, and renewal.
About Natasha Jozi:
Natasha Jozi (b. 1988, Pakistan) is a Munich-based visual theorist, performance artist, curator, and writer. Her interdisciplinary practice explores the performative self, collective consciousness, and the intersections of science and the metaphysical dimensions of the body. Jozi’s work has been presented internationally, including the Karachi Biennale, Venice International Festival of Video Art, ArtCo Gallery Berlin. She has participated in performance festivals across Europe, Asia, and North America. As a curator, she has developed exhibitions such as Beyond the Spectacle (Germany, 2023) and We’ve Been Waiting for You (Pakistan, 2019).

Yoko Ono: Music of the Mind
Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago
Through February 22, 2026
Galerie Lelong, New York is pleased to announce that Yoko Ono: Music of the Mind is now on view at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, Illinois—its only US venue—through February 22, 2026.
One of the most comprehensive exhibitions to date of Yoko Ono, this retrospective celebrates key moments of Ono’s career, showcasing art driven by ideas and expressed in poetic, humorous, and profound ways. Tracing Ono’s career since the 1950s, Music of the Mind presents over 200 works across a variety of media including performance footage, music and sound recordings, scores, film, photography, installation, and archival materials. Participatory artworks—a key aspect of Ono’s practice—also feature in the exhibition, and visitors are invited to partake in several interactive, instruction-based artworks throughout Music of the Mind.
Among the key works featured in this exhibition are Ono’s landmark performance Cut Piece (1964); her films including Fly (1970–71); the banned Film No.4 (Bottoms) (1966–67), which Ono created as a “petition for peace”; and her collaborations with notable musicians John Cage, Ornette Coleman, and her late husband John Lennon, among others. Recent works include Ono’s ongoing project Wish Tree (1996–present), as well as public artworks that epitomize Ono’s commitment to peace activism, including Imagine Peace (2003) and Peace is Power (2017).
Yoko Ono: Music of the Mind was organized by Tate Modern, London, in collaboration with Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, Dusseldorf. It was curated by Juliet Bingham, Curator, International Art, Tate Modern; Patrizia Dander, Deputy Director of Curatorial Affairs, Gropius Bau; and Andrew de Brún, Assistant Curator, International Art, Tate Modern. The Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago presentation is curated by Jamillah James, Manilow Senior Curator, with Korina Hernandez, Curatorial Assistant, in close collaboration with Yoko Ono’s Studio One.

4. Charles Dennis, Linda Mary Montano, Alex Romania, FF Alumns, at Lace Mill Gallery, Kingston, NY, Oct. 25-26
Charles Dennis Productions announces the presentation of Avant-Garde-Arama Arrives, a festival of short works of dance, film, music and performance art that will be presented Friday and Saturday October 25 & 26 at 6pm at the Lace Mill Gallery, 165 Cornell Street in Kingston, NY. Suggested admission is $20. Parking is available on Manor Avenue and Progress Street. For further information call 917-673-9023 or email charles@charlesdennis.net.
Avant-Garde-Arama was originally created in 1980 by performance artist Charles Dennis and musician/visual artist Jeffrey Isaac at the legendary East Village, Manhattan venue Performance Space 122 (P.S. 122) now Performance Space New York. Producer Charles Dennis was a co-founder of P.S. 122 and presented his critically acclaimed inter-disciplinary dance, performance art and video in that space for over 40 years.
In 2019 Charles Dennis moved from Brooklyn, NY to Hurley, NY and began searching for opportunities to present avant-garde, experimental works in the Hudson Valley. During the summer of 2021 he curated and produced 2 Avant-Garde-Arama Programs in Woodstock NY and for the past 3 years has been presenting the festival at The Lace Mill in Kingston, NY. The Lace Mill is an anchor of the Ulster County arts community. Built in 1903, the US Lace Curtain Mill employed hundreds of Kingstonians – particularly women – over several generations. RUPCO purchased it in late 2013. The building currently houses 55 affordable apartments with a preference for artists. The building offers several gallery spaces and designated shared and private work studios.
Avant-Garde-Arama Arrives at The Lace Mill offers a smorgasbord of short works in an informal, cabaret setting hosted by Charles Dennis.

9. Georgia Lale, FF Alumn, at a.antonopoulou art, Athens, Greece, opening Oct. 23
Georgia Lale
“In this Sign Conquer”
23 Oct – 29 Nov, 2025
Opening: October 23, 7-10pm
a.antonopoulou art – Aristofanous 20, Athens GR
The a.antonopoulou.art gallery presents the new body of work by visual artist Georgia Lale, titled “Εν Τούτω Νίκα” (In This Sign Conquer). Known for her activist work and as the creator of the Pink Flag, Lale invites us on a journey through time into the struggles and pain of women – guided by Anna, a figure from the first-grade Greek school book Alphavitario (1955).* Anna’s journey begins in antiquity and reaches the present day.
Using the visual language of ancient Greek grave steles, Lale traces Anna’s path from the Great Relief of the Eleusinian Mysteries (440–430 BC), where her pilgrimage is blessed by Demeter, the goddess of harvest and a victim of rape, and her daughter Persephone, the goddess of the Underworld and a victim of femicide. The journey with Anna continues through two funerary steles from the 5th and 4th centuries BC. On the “Stele of Aminocleia”, Anna helps her mother prepare for her passage to the underworld. In the work “Pieta”, we see Anna dead in her mother’s arms – a tribute to all mothers who lose their children, whether to the armed hand of a partner, to state negligence, or to the cruelty of war.
Through this journey, Anna – any Anna – witnesses and experiences the pain of loss, sexism, and the culture of victim blaming. At the same time, she learns that unity and solidarity can break the chains of silence and abuse. Holding tightly the hands of her grandmother and mother, she looks us straight in the eye and declares: “Εν Τούτω Νίκα!” – In this sign, conquer!
The works in the exhibition are created from bed sheets donated by women and feminine identifying individuals living in Greece, on the condition that they had rested upon them and dreamed of a just and safe world.
The exhibition draws visual references from the Alfavitario, illustrated by K. Grammatikopoulos and published in 1955 by the Greek Ministry of Education.
The gallery will be accepting bed sheet donations throughout the duration of the exhibition.

13. Gabrielle Hamilton, FF Alumn, new publication
people, hello!
quickly here, i have a new book that comes out on tuesday october 14. it’s called NEXT OF KIN. it’s a memoir. it will not be a waste of your time or money, i promise. it doesn’t concern itself with food or cheffing, and i am aware that it is pretty fucking dark in a few spots, but i tried to get some beauty and some humor in there, too, because i’m hospitable. i like to get people what they need in order to enjoy themselves.
i don’t have any social media presence or fluency so i’m doing this the stupid old-fashioned way: email blast.
if you like my work, or if you like me, or if you just like compelling memoirs, would you kindly buy this book and then tell other people to buy this book so that it can succeed? i would give it away but the talented people at random house are counting the sales, and they would like it if everyone bought a hard back, preferably through an independent bookseller, like bookshop.org. i asked if kindle or audio would work as well, and my editor said: yes, a sale is a sale.
my apologies for the all-biz, mass email format here. not my favorite way of going but i understand its purpose and i trust you do, too.
many many thanks and peace on earth, please!

October 26, 7:30 pm.
Info: earsay.org
Judith Sloan and Najla Said present a new work-in-progress, Imperfect Allies: Children of Opposite Sides. Through dialogue, memories, historical records, poetry, images, and humor, two women explore how their Jewish-American and Palestinian-American backgrounds have shaped their identities, their friendship, and their understanding of the conflicting narratives over Israel/Palestine. In this soul-breaking moment, they find tangible ways to have increasingly difficult conversations, while steadfastly denouncing Israel’s obliteration of Gaza. Their journey is a collaboration that challenges even the strongest relationship.
Performances will be followed with an opportunity for audience members to practice the art of listening to one another.

Judy Pfaff
Light Years
October 17 – December 20, 2025
49 Walker Street
New York, NY 10013
Cristin Tierney Gallery is pleased to present Light Years, a solo exhibition of new and recent works by Judy Pfaff. This is the artist’s first solo show with the gallery, and the first solo show in our new location on 49 Walker Street. The exhibition opens Friday, October 17th and will be on view through December 20th. The artist will be present at the opening reception.
Light Years includes several new works that reflect Pfaff’s restless experimentation and ongoing fascination with light. In Travels to Bisnegar (2025), a recycled plastic carpet unfurls across the wall, studded with imitation flowers and punctuated by fluorescent neon rods. The work evokes a hybrid terrain where industrial detritus and natural growth intertwine, its surface alternating between light and the woven memory of domestic space.
At the heart of the exhibition is a new sequence of large-scale panel works, each measuring eight by four feet. Created by pouring resin onto clear acrylic sheets laid flat, these pieces transform painterly gesture into translucent strata of color and texture. Once installed vertically, the panels function like glowing windows, illuminated by pigmented neon tubing. Suspended in a linear arrangement, the selection radiates energy across the gallery walls, recalling stained glass, digital pixels, and abstract expressionist canvases. Yet the works remain distinctly Pfaff—improvisational, sensorial, and wildly maximalist.

soft weapons: Keep Your Fucking Hands Off My Body, curated by Cassandra Neyenesch and Lydia Nobles, is a 29-person group exhibition exploring how the politicized body, collective memory, and intimate relations operate as counterforces to surveillance, suppression, and systemic violence.
In an era of escalating authoritarianism, the body is a site of innate freedom. Where laws surveil, erase, and punish, the body resists. Memory, desire, care, and activism endure as acts of rebellion that cannot be legislated.
At the opening on October 18 at 6:30 PM, Autumn Breon will perform CARE COMMUNION, inviting participants to share bouillie enrichie, a traditional dish that restores strength after blood loss, as a soundscape recalls moments of care and nourishment.
On October 25 at 6:00 PM Christen Clifford and Daniella LaGaccia will do a live INTERIORS performance.
also on October 25th, there is a conversation between Aviva Shvarts and Viva Ruiz at from 4-5pm!
