Confluences & Departures: Aromatic Reckoning
May 8, 2023
6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
The Aster Tea Room
1717 Vine St, Los Angeles
As diasporic perfumers of South Asian, North African, Arab and Muslim descent, Tanaïs (In Sensorium: Notes for My People, Studio Tanaïs) and Dana El Masri (Jazmin Saraï) use their perfume lines to honor their olfactory cultures and to challenge the insidious colonizing forces of neo-orientalism. In this way, their practices serve as a collection of small, creative acts of aromatic reckoning. Join us for a lively conversation between these two remarkable artists, exploring the perfumes How You Love by Jazmin Saraï and Mala by Tanaïs as an opening to deeper connection.
