The Alexa Torres & Mario Wellmann Quartet presents original music that weaves contemporary jazz language with rhythmic ideas from Latin America. This Fall 2025 tour frames the music around reconstruction—building sound worlds from fragments of melody and memory: Chile’s democratic rebuilding after the dictatorship, the post-earthquake/tsunami recovery of communities, the personal reweaving of lives shaped by exile and diaspora, among other themes. Anchoring the group are Guillermo López (MM, Juilliard; appearances at Blue Note, Smalls, and Dizzy’s) and Daniel Dufour (performances with Seamus Blake, Rotem Sivan, and others across the U.S.; faculty at UT Austin).
Doors open at 7:30 PM; Music begins at 8:00 PM.
Tickets are $18 in advance and $22 at the door.

Seeing the Unseen: A Mindful Photo Walk
2025-11-29 11:00 - 13:00
Slow down and really look. In this two‑hour guided walk starting at Flemington DIY, we’ll practice mindful seeing—tuning into light, texture, color, and chance moments. After a brief 15‑minute intro, we’ll explore town with a set of playful prompts that sharpen attention without limiting creativity (think reflections, repeating shapes, or “where the light changes”). We’ll start and end at DIY for a casual share and conversation: What did the moment tell you? What surprised you about what you noticed? Open to all cameras and skill levels (phones welcome). Come as you are; leave seeing differently.
Bring: phone or camera, comfy shoes. Skill level: beginner to advanced. Accessibility: gentle walking pace with frequent stops.

Changing Perspectives: Portrait & Self‑Portrait Lab
2025-11-29 14:00 - 16:00
Perspective changes everything—power, intimacy, and meaning. In this two‑hour hands‑on session at Flemington DIY, we’ll explore portraits and self‑portraits through framing, angle, distance, and the stories they imply. After a short mini‑lesson, you’ll work in pairs to photograph each other from multiple perspectives (from above/below, through objects, with light and shadow), then create a self‑portrait that shows how you see yourself—not how others see you. Participants can experiment with LED color‑changing lights and everyday or sentimental objects as props to shape mood and meaning. We’ll close with a supportive group reflection on choices, feelings, and narrative.
Bring: phone or camera; optional personal or sentimental object. Skill level: beginner to advanced. Accessibility: seated and standing shooting options available.
