Insist that to look death in the face\, ritually and rep eatedly\, is how one kisses life on the lips. This is magic understood pla inly: not sleight of hand\, but the discipline of transformation\, and rel igion in its most degraded form. \nThe sacred\, in this view\, is not piet y but rupture: sacrifice\, ecstasy\, laughter\, daemonic entities\, and th e corpse. Death here is not simply a subject but a method. Art becomes the site where the restricted economy of production and survival is deliberat ely breached\, where a sovereign act of wasting oneself – bleeding\, pra ying\, dancing\, carving toward no useful end – recovers a continuity be tween beings that ordinary\, bounded selfhood forecloses. The works gather ed here stage exactly this breach: each refuses the discreteness the self is supposed to maintain\, offering itself instead as a willful expenditure \, a controlled burn of the prairie’s boundary – on the border where t he living meet the dead. \nBeneath that scorched wound runs a river. Death is not an event waiting at the end of a life but a force already coursing through it. A pure differentiation\, the self already a multiplicity bein g continuously undone and reassembled beneath its own name. This current t reats the human not as a form to be preserved but as a threshold to be lau ghed at\, dissolved\, desire and death fused into a single accelerant burn ing through identity toward what is on the other side. This exhibition’s icons are not meditations on mortality\, they are remnants of mortality ’s discharge\, operations and apparatuses built by hand\, and by body\, to run the current of death through the self on purpose – not to master it\, but to see\, however briefly\, who or what rears its head from beneat h the surface. \n  \nOpening reception:\nAugust 7\, 2026\n5-8pm \n  \nCX W hours with the guest curator:\nSeptember 17\, 2026\n5:00 – 8:00 pm \nT his exhibition runs through September 25\, 2026. \n******Guest curated by Ryan M.

Counselors and mental health professionals alike are found t o be hesitant to engage in sexual health-related discussions with their cl ients (Bungener et a.\, 2022\; Hipp & Carlson\, 2019). The current literat ure notes various explanations\, including but not limited to developmenta l appropriateness concerns\, lack of knowledge or training\, and avoidance due to personal discomfort (Berry & Lezos\, 2017\; Cardona et al.\, 2022\ ; Hipp & Carlson\, 2019)\, which create risks of rupturing the therapeutic relationship\, missed opportunities for assessment and referral\, and\, i n turn\, potential client harm (Brammer & Goodrich\, 2022). This hesitancy is evident across counselor experience levels (Canvin et al.\, 2023). Eme rging research has demonstrated knowledge as an important factor in improv ing comfort with sexuality (Mize & Ausloos\, 2026). It is important for co unselors\, both generalist and specialized\, to understand the role of sex ual health and wellness in counseling practice (Pope et al.\, 2024). \nThe webinar will explore the role of sexual health conversations within couns eling practice and review current research related to counselor comfort\, knowledge\, and engagement with sexual health concerns. Ethical considerat ions and professional responsibilities related to addressing sexual health in counseling will also be discussed. Through case examples and reflectiv e activities\, attendees will examine factors that may facilitate or hinde r engagement in sexual health conversations and consider how these factors may influence client care and clinical decision-making. Practical strateg ies for initiating and navigating sexual health conversations in ethical\, inclusive\, and developmentally appropriate ways will be provided. \nZoom link will be available on course page in “My Courses” upon event regi stration.  \nThis program\, when attended in its entirety\, offers 2.0 CE s for Psychologists\, 2.0 IL CEUs for Counselors and Social Workers\, 2.0 BBS California CEUs for LPCCs\, LPSWs\, and LMFTs\, 2.0 AASECT CEUs for Se x Educators\, Counselors\, and Therapists\, or 2.0 NBCC Clock Hours.
