You’re It!: Puglionesi, Shaltout, Amos, and Shlon

Join the Red Room for an evening of spoken word, video, performance, sound, and music with Alicia Puglionesi, Marina Shaltout, Rachel Amos, and Katie Schlon.

Alicia Puglionesi is a writer, historian, and Baltimore resident who studies questions of faith and doubt, orthodoxy and marginality that underpin the field of parapsychology. Her writing, both scholarly and journalistic, traces efforts to understand the unknown — often in amateur, fringe, and ‘para’-sciences.

Marina Shaltout is a multimedia artist from Tuscon, AZ who combines sculpture/installation processes with video and performance. Her work is primarily concerned with the portrayal of female destructive forces. She gives space and recognition to emotional breakdowns in order to elevate the notion of female “hysteria” beyond its designation of psychotic behavior.
