Laurana Wong - The Surrealist Ball - She stands before a background embrace, in a state of pure love; showing them her portal to the divine

The Surrealist Ball

In 2015, Grass Roots Enrichment and Wellness Center hosted the first of a series of adventurous fundraisers called The Surrealist Ball. It was a re-creation of the famous Rothschild Surrealist Ball from 1972. Performance art was a huge part of the original Surrealist Ball, and it was a huge part of our incarnation as well. For it, I played a portal to the divine; a galaxy of welcome to connect patrons to other worlds through the interactive sharing of my most feminine presence.
