AN AWKWARD OVERSHARING IN ORDER TO GROW UP
Tuesday, August 5 | 5:30-7:30pm
Hybrid Event Onsite & Via Zoom | Free
Join us for an evening of immersive video art, candid conversation, and collective reflection with emerging artist Lena Kaouki, as she shares An Awkward Oversharing in Order to Grow Up—a digital coming-of-age diary that navigates the uncomfortable beauty of becoming.
Through self-recorded vignettes, daily rituals, and unfiltered monologues, Lena constructs a world where vulnerability becomes a form of empowerment. This work embraces softness, discomfort, and the unapologetic value of imperfection.

5:30–6:30 PM (Hybrid): Screening of the video work– Artist talk and audience Q&A with Lena Kaouki.
6:30–7:30 PM (In-Person Only): Reception with refreshments– Live greenscreen portrait station, where guests can step inside Lena’s visual world and receive a personalized digital memento.
All ages, identities, and experiences are welcome.
