Sara Roberts (LA)
Sara Roberts will be leading all and sundry in a hum, a sonic exploration of the interior.

Wafaa Yasin (SF)
It looks Familiar
There are white houses with red roofs built on top of the hill and at the bottom of the valley. They have spread all over the land like an epidemic. Wafaa Yasin's performance, It Looks Familiar, investigates the history of building settlements in Palestine, beginning in the early 1950s with the Judaization of Galilee to the latest stages of contemporary settlements. Yasin collaborates with an Engineer Payal Vora to investigate the new form of body that she has (a pregnant boday) as an architectural form.

Southern Machine Exposure Project events all take place in private homes that serve as public venues. As a result of the intimate nature of these 20 unique spaces there is limited attendance for each event. If you’d like to attend, you must sign up ahead of time and register online. Registration for each project opens seven days prior to the actual event. One new project opens daily at noon beginning June 4, 2012. Times and audience capacity varies for each project. Pre-registration is REQUIRED and all events are FREE.

Southern Machine Exposure Project is a project developed by Southern Exposure (San Francisco) and Machine Project (Los Angeles), involving 20 combinations of artists and performers from LA and SF, presented off-site in 20 homes in the Bay Area over 20 consecutive days from June 11 - 30.
