SMoCA Lounge

SMoCA Lounge SMoCA Lounge is an active laboratory inside (and outside) of a SMoCA. Arm wrestling, story-performing, film, live music, unexpected performances, and more.

Curator of Performing Arts, Tania Katan, is creating feisty programs and curating projects that integrate (and instigate) dance, music, humor, story-performing, artist grants, and arm wrestling inside (and outside of) a museum! Katan works closely with dance companies, writers, performers, musicians, and audience members to develop and present original choreographies, stories, performances, and pr

ograms. To find out more about Arm Wrestling for Art, Lit Lounge, and Good 'N Plenty Artist Award visit: www.smoca.org

(Scottsdale, AZ) The Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art (SMoCA) unveils new programs uniquely designed for the SMoCA Lounge community gathering space. Dedicated to making arts & culture accessible, challenging and fun, Curator of Performing Arts, Tania Katan has created a series that celebrates artists, non-artists, and everyone in between. At the core of these programs is a desire to bring divergent ideas, geographies, talents, and genres together in order to find moments of exquisite discord and necessary inspiration. Lit Lounge, for example, will feature some of the most talented writers, performers and musicians in Arizona performing side-by-side with talent from other parts of the country. Regardless of where they reside, all are a part of a larger dialogue, not “local talent” or “headliner,” just plain talent. For future SMoCA Lounge Events: http://www.smoca.org

Don't miss our second VICELAND@SMoCA event this Thursday at 7pm! This time "Woman" and "States of Undress" travel to Pakistan to investigate how women are taking risks and pushing the boundaries by taking on untraditional roles. Women are utilizing self-expression in this often volatile and changing conservative culture, where unique style is an act of bravery.

Join us after the screening to discuss themes explored in each episode with special guest Daniel Rothenberg, Professor of Practice, School of Politics and Global Studies and Co-Director, Center on the Future of War at Arizona State University and Asna Masood, President of the Arizona chapter of the American Muslim Women's Association.
