Artist-in-Residence Presentation: Haus of Dust by Gabriel Torres

In this short presentation, hear from Laundromat Project Artist-in-Residence Gabriel Torres about their project, Haus of Dust. Haus of Dust is a three-pronged project to support and educate Queer Latinx communities struggling with substance use in the Lower East Side. Working alongside social workers, neuroscientists, and queer community leaders, Haus of Dust encompasses an online resource platform, a garden installation, and an immersive theatrical experience. Utilizing both data and personal stories, the online platform—designed as a series of interactive games—will destigmatize conversations around substance use in the community, the platform will also serve as a cognitive interaction to provide anxiety relief and stress relief. The garden—installed inside of partner organization The Loisaida Center—will provide a therapeutic greenspace, and create community programs on a long term scale, while the virtual and onsite theatrical experience will explore substance addiction and trauma through a Queer Latinx lens. This video is a recording from Gather & Create, a virtual community celebration held live on November 10, 2021. __________ The Laundromat Project is an arts organization that advances artists and neighbors as change agents in their own communities. We make art and culture in community while fostering leadership among our neighbors through our celebrated Create Change artist development programs, and our creative community-building initiatives across New York City.
