6:30 – 7:00pm
May Maylisa Cat replicates the act of meditative consumption by a livestream ASMR Mukbang performance blending virtual and real-time audience engagements that challenges the fantasy of globalism and playfully undermine capitalism’s problematic production, food conviviality, and the consumption of the cultural “Other.”

7:00 – 7:30pm
Designer Stacy Scibelli stages an interactive fashion show that invites audience members to self-style and try on variations of her one-of-a-kind modular clothing offering beautiful, functional and sustainable alternatives to industry standards that support large-scale consumer waste, environmental pollution, and inequitable and unsafe working conditions.

7:30 – 8:00pm
Stick around for an open dialogue with the artists and SFAI staff.

Audience members are encouraged to bring their own mobile devices (phones or tablets) for online engagement with the program.
