Ceasefire Choir at the Audubon Center
Friends!
See you underneath our beloved and majestic peppercorn tree within the Audubon Center at Debs Park for a donation-based afternoon performance featuring local icon Josephine Shetty’s new solo project Girl Debord.
We’ve long loved all the worlds that Josephine imagines, whether they be Kohinoorgasm, Pride Month Barbie, or People’s Portal on dublab, and it’s been a long time coming to call upon Girl Debord to regale us in spectacle. For those unfamiliar, Josephine is one of the great badasses of LA and whether playing shows, hosting on dublab, or teaching at CalArts they’re always on the frontlines of what’s good in the world. Highly encourage tuning in and joining us this Saturday afternoon. Feel free to performatively read your favorite Situationist text, it’s a safe space.
Lupita Limón Corrales sets the tone for us this afternoon with poetry and presence.
Bring a blanket, a friend, a picnic, and pull up with us.
All ages & donation based!
We’ll begin around 12:30p.
🦉
a gentle reminder: please leave your adorable pups at home this afternoon as to not disrupt the Audubon Center’s ongoing habitat restoration efforts.

Shetty is known for combining susurrate vocals and extended vocal techniques with a minimal and hypnotic production style while integrating vast influences from Cocteau Twins to Diamanda Galas to Sheila Chandra. Since releasing her debut solo album Titalee in 2017, Shetty has performed at SXSW, The Echo, UCLA, Berkeley Art Museum, Sarah Lawrence College, Great American Music Hall, and most notably within California’s underground music scene. Josephine is born and based in Los Angeles, and she teaches at California Institute of the Arts.
Lupita Limón Corrales (she/they) is a poet, artist, educator, archivist, and interpreter born in Sinaloa, Mexico and raised in LA’s San Gabriel Valley. Talking to her friends is her favorite type of research. She’s committed to the future, the sea, and organizes with the Echo Park local of the Los Angeles Tenants Union.
For 20+ years the Audubon Center at Debs Park has been a beacon for how conservation organizations can work within our cities to cultivate a deeper relationship between people and place. Through monthly hikes, restoration days, bird walks, field trips, movie nights, community festivals, and hosting gatherings like these each and every month, the Audubon Center at Debs Park has played an essential role in building a more diverse and inclusive conservation movement here in Los Angeles.
We’re so grateful for the humans of the Audubon Center, the advocacy that they champion in dialogue with local culture and native ecology, and it is an absolute honor to gather here together on the 3rd Saturday of (almost) every month.
