The Bowls Project by Charming Hostess Opens July 6 at YBCA

Dear Friends of Charming Hostess,

Dome day draws near! The Bowls Project at YBCA opens this Tuesday July 6th! Our immersive installation based on sex and magic in Babylonian Jewish amulets, The Bowls Project takes place within a masterwork of ancient-meets-modern design: a double vaulted masonry dome designed by architect Michael Ramage. The Bowls Project dome is a place to share a secret and hear the anonymous secrets of others, listen to live music on Thursdays, participate in ritual on Fridays, encounter embodied text on Sundays, and dig on the apocalyptic intimate whenever YBCA is open. We’ll be sending out a schedule of events in the dome next week.

Please join us as we dedicate the dome with procession, performance, ritual, secrets, and bowl inscription. Welcome!

And it’s going to be amazing on Tuesday! But we still have a few things to do. If you live in the Bay Area, maybe you want to help? Here’s what we need:

  • 1. Pillows, rugs, and lovely fabrics–anything to help create the softscape on the floor of the dome. Must be clean and pet-untouched.

    2. Paint, painting supplies, and people who are willing to paint. We are painting the dome floor and plinth on Sunday, July 4.

    3. People to help with clean-up on Saturday, July 3, and the morning of Tuesday, July 6.

    4. Dome docents and other dome workers who would volunteer for individual days or events over the course of the installation (July 6-August 22).

    5. Can’t come, but you want to participate? SHARE A SECRET! Easy and anonymous!
