This Saturday 8/22! The Philosophical Research Society Surrealist Ball Fundraiser is back!

This year we’ll be honoring Betye Saar and her visionary practice.

In celebration of the two-year anniversary of our Membership program, we’re throwing a one-of-a-kind surrealist ball: Mystic Vision: A Surrealist Ball . This is not merely a benefit—it is an invitation to awaken the dreamer within.

Drawing from Saar’s use of found objects, iconography, and the charged symbolism of the eye, the evening centers on the act of seeing: seeing beyond illusion, beyond surface, into layered histories and future possibilities. The space becomes an immersive assemblage: Mirrors, eyes, and reflective surfaces recur as portals of perception, invoking Saar’s enduring engagement with sight as both protection and revelation.

Guests are invited to dress as extensions of the exhibition and assemblages in motion. Think: protective charms, spirit vessels, cosmic eyes, relics of past and future selves.
At its heart, Mystic Vision is about gathering and about creating a shared psychic space where art, ritual, and community intertwine. It is a night to be seen and to see differently. To honor the power of art, stories, and bodies as carriers of meaning.

All proceeds support the continuing work and vision of The Philosophical Research Society.

THE EVENT’S PROGRAM WILL INCLUDE:
✨A live performance by Geneva Jacuzzi!
✨A DJ set from Jocelyn Romo
✨A musical installation and performance by Pauline Lay
✨Workshops with Sóla Saar and Cindy Rehm of HEXENTEXTE in the bookstore

ART EXHIBITIONS THROUGHOUT THE CAMPUS FEATURING WORKS BY:
⭐️ Betye Saar
⭐️ Regina Herod
⭐️ Mimi Haddon
⭐️ Cameron Michel

PLUS! Tarot readings with Sanyu Estelle (multihyphenate-multitalented soothsayer) Liz Vazquez (astrologer & artist), Madre Jaguar, and tarot scholar James Jude throughout the night! Artist Megan Whitmarsh will offer dedicated dream readings.

WHAT AN HONOR to be a part of this amazing event!

Tickets on sale now! In celebration of the two-year anniversary of our Membership program, we’re throwing a one-of-a-kind surrealist ball: Mystic Vision: A Surrealist Ball.

This is not merely a benefit—it is an invitation to awaken the dreamer within.
Mystic Vision is an altar to memory, to intuition, and to the unseen world that shapes our lives.

This year’s Surrealist Ball honors the centennial birthday of artist Betye Saar, celebrating a century of her visionary practice and enduring influence in Los Angeles and beyond. Inspired by Saar’s assemblage language and spiritual cosmology, the evening transforms our campus into an altar where the personal and the ancestral converge.

Guests are not merely attendees, but participants in a collective ritual: adorned as talismans, dressed as relics, embodiments of protection, vision, and resistance.
Drawing from Saar’s use of found objects, iconography, and the charged symbolism of the eye, the evening centers on the act of seeing: seeing beyond illusion, beyond surface, into layered histories and future possibilities.

The space becomes an immersive assemblage: Mirrors, eyes, and reflective surfaces recur as portals of perception, invoking Saar’s enduring engagement with sight as both protection and revelation.

Writers, thinkers, listeners, diarists, and those curious to begin a new lyrical project or habit: We have several great gatherings ahead for you! Starting this Sunday from 2-4 in the Lounge, join HEXENTEXTE, a feminist project dedicated to the research, presentation, and publication of works at the intersection of image, text, and the body, for a casual work share. Bring an excerpt, poem, or piece-in-progress to share with a non-judgmental community of people working with the written word. Or just come to listen and lend support. HEXENTEXTE's Cindy Rehm is a Los Angeles-based artist and an educator. In addition to forming HEXENTEXTE, she serves as co-facilitator of the Cixous Reading Group and is co-founder of the feminist-centered projects Craftswoman House and Feminist Love Letters. She is the founder and former director of spare room, a DIY installation space in Baltimore, MD. Rehm’s interdisciplinary practice moves between drawing, performance, and video. This gathering is free and attendees receive a 20% discount on print media, journals, and ritual decks, as always during events. #thirdspace #writinggroups #itshappeningonholly #community #oldpasadena

Hyena
I love being a part of this collection of surrealist writers and artists with @_hexentexte My writing THE WILL TO FLOWER and my print SPIRAL that originated in my studio arts & aerial rope practice are included in this edition.

Edited by Cindy Rehm and Adrienne Walser, the book includes works that look to the legacy of women’s surrealism, explorations of identity, inner-life, corporeality, ritual, eroticism, animality, and mortality. Inspired by Leonora Carrington, we took the hyena as our moniker for her feral and ravenous nature, her ability to provoke mix-ups in gender identity, and her proclivity for habitation in matriarchal clans.

Link in Bio & June 6-7 Hexentexte will be at LITLIT Hosted by the Los Angeles Review of Books

Slide 1 Hyena Cover
Slide 2 an excerpt of THE WILL TO FLOWER
Slide 3 your girl on rope * in sneakers *
Slides 5-6 repost Hexentexte

2026 may be in full swing but we want to take a moment to reflect and appreciate the highlights of 2025 here at PRS!

We held many (and we mean many) screenings, lectures, live performances, workshops, art exhibitions, and more. These photos barely scratch the surface, but check out some highlights!

We had our first-ever surrealist ball and the return of our courtyard sale on top of it all!

It was truly amazing to see so many of you walk through our doors and enjoy our campus for all it has to offer. Thank you for taking part in the magic that is PRS.

From the entire staff at PRS we thank all members, attendees, supporters, co-presenters, and contributors for being part of what makes PRS so special. Without you, none of this would be possible!

Here’s to more amazing experiences in 2026! We can’t wait to do it all again this year!

On Thursday November 13 HEXENTEXTE and Now Instant present the book launch of Cindy Rehm's room by the sea with a screening of Marguerite Duras' epistolary study in vision, Aurélia Steiner (Vancouver).

Aurélia Steiner (Vancouver)
Marguerite Duras
1979, 49m

"With Aurélia, I rediscover writing. Aurélia is everywhere, writing from everywhere all at once. After Aurélia Steiner, I can no longer write, I have lost writing. If I don’t talk to this survivor, I will lose writing completely. And, if she’s not there, present all the time, day and night, preventing me from seeing anything other than her, anything else, anything, then nothing happens. I don’t write. I stayed locked up for a month and a half with Aurélia. I’d get up, I’d see Aurélia’s sea, her eyes, I’d see Vancouver, I’d see that the sea was screaming Aurélia’s screams and sleeping Aurélia’s sleep.   Next to the phenomenal power of Aurélia Steiner, cinema is nothing. Aurélia Steiner (Vancouver) was an impossible film. It was made. The film is admirable because it doesn’t try to remedy its impossibility. It escorts this impossibility, walks alongside it."
- Marguerite Duras

room by the sea
Cindy Rehm
HEXENTEXTE, 2025
52 pp., Perfect Bound

This artist book was inspired by Marguerite Duras', essay Writing, and the obsessive nature of Duras’ polymorphic renderings that move between texts, theatre, and film. In response, Rehm's series of drawings imagine the collage as a film still, a liminal durational sliver captured within a single frame.
