Creative Bond: Community Roundtable on Moving Forward Resisting Fascism

Creative Bond: We’re No Angels — How to Canonize Your Loved Ones (Without Turning Them Into Saints)
On Friday, November 1st at 7pm, Elizabeth Laura Nelson is here to dish on writing, friendship, love, and how to write a Modern Love story (or at least, how she wrote hers for the New York Times!). Plus taking your questions! Don’t miss this wonderful evening presented by the Creative Bond.
It’s extra meaningful to feature Elizabeth for this salon on All Saints’ Day, a beautiful day on the church calendar centered around the remembrance of loved ones who have died, especially in the past year.
Creative Bond: Behind Despair Sanctuary
Take a peek behind the curtain of Despair Sanctuary, a burgeoning drone metal event series run by Brooklyn musician and theologian Jack Holloway, in the first salon (and live performance!) presented by the Creative Bond on Friday, October 25th.
What does it mean to offer a vigil for those who are weary and despairing? How does drone metal music connect with theology? With Halloween just around the corner, and the next Despair Sanctuary vigil scheduled for November 9th, it’s the perfect time to explore those questions and more at 304 Bond street. You are welcome!
