Just Chillin in Hotel Mon Signor

Borrowing the fictional hotel name from the 1995 movie Four Rooms, this informal exposition is realized as four loosely connected events:

an art exhibition,
a book launch,
drawing workshops
mini yoga sessions.

Nestnomad is pleased to bring artists and communities, children and adults, closer for an informal Sunday afternoon gathering, where they can familiarize with art, each other and themselves. On the debut of Nestnomad – the “bellboy” on his first day on the job – we wish to explore the self and community and together lay a good foundation for future collaborations.
