María Dolores A. Matienzo - "Requiem for Unnamed Mare" (2026)

this is tonight and FREE, seattle. i wrote a bit more about the process and conceptual background for our performance piece here: azaleas.imprecision.art/performance/?l

my upcoming unpoetry at the Frye performance with Tom Scully (CSTMR; Black Ends) and Noelle K. Chun is one of @thestranger.com's best literature events of the month! join us on September 17. www.thestranger.com/september-20...

dusting off the newsletter to share info on my forthcoming album out this fall on Sawyer Spaces (@sawyereditions.bsky.social), my Unpoetry at the Frye performance on September 17 with Tom Scully and Noelle K. Chun, a residency, and recent installation work

i should have posted more during #teardown2026 but my installation went well, i met some cool folks, and i burned myself while trying to connect a recycled vape battery to an ultrasonic piezo driver board. a pretty positive experience ☺️

my piece "flagday (a particular kind of perceptiveness)" is in the installation track at #teardown2026 from July 24-26, 2026 at Jupiter NEXT in Portland, OR. i'll have of extra score booklets available for sale. thanks to @crowdsupply.bsky.social for hosting! www.crowdsupply.com/teardown/por...
