Last nights Channeling Jupiter event in Room 529 at the Jupiter Hotel was fantastic. Here’s folks assembling the “live zine” that every attendee got at the end of the event (and a couple shots of the poets). The zine contained illustrations/art done during the event, to document the event, by , bios of the great poets who read and , and .exe who both read and curated the evening. Thank you to the Jupiter for having us and for all their help!

Channeling Jupiter!

A live poetry/zine event in Room 529 at the Jupiter Hotel.

Wednesday, July 24th, 6:30 pm

Hosted by Blue Jaye Corvidae, featuring live art by Buck Corvidae-Schulte

Blue Jaye Corvidae (we/us/they/them) is a 26 year old q***r trans multiple, scholar, experimentalist, and artist-activist. Their current work is centered on the convergence of Grief and Love and evincing intergenerational survival out of present capitalist ruin.

Buck (they/he) is a nonbinary multimedia artist and filmmaker living in SE portland. They do art to experience and self reflect on their self in context and the role our perception plays with concept. Themes present in their recent soft sculpture and illustrative work include concepts like grief, ferality, identity, ghosts, and memory.

Also performing/reading:

and Mar ( on Instagram).

Our audience will walk away with a one-of-a kind, limited edition piece of media (an insta-zine), made to make reference to moments in the experience of the event, featuring live art by Buck, and other surprises. The zine will be signed and numbered, only available to those attending, and printed immediately after the performances.

Channeling Jupiter is mask encouraged, due to the very high levels of COVID-19 detectable in the Oregon wastewater right now.
