You’re invited to Processa Social Club — a series of intimate gatherings at Studio Processa, for artists, by artists.

Rooted in intimacy and intentionality, this is a space for presence, conversation, and unexpected happenings. A sanctuary for the unseen, the unspoken, the in-between.

An underground gathering & performance space. Expect nothing. Expect everything.

Rule #1 & 2: No texting, scrolling, or calls in the studio. Please take calls and texts in the hallway. Digital or analog photography is encouraged. Ask before capturing faces. Abstract is encouraged — think: hands, shadows, drinks, the way streetlights spill across the wall.

We exist in resistance — to the commodification of art, to surveillance, to limitations. We honor the sacred, the slow, the beauty in duality & the multidimensional. We honor our community of Black and Brown artists.

For our first happening, we are honored to host a salon-style sit-down conversation with conceptual artist Emmanuel Massillon, moderated by Kiara Cristina Ventura. This special gathering will also be a live recording of the Processa Talks podcast.

Massillon’s multidisciplinary practice spans painting, performance, sculpture, sound, and installation. Drawing on his upbringing in Washington D.C.’s inner city, he interrogates race, identity, and culture—particularly within the African diaspora—through symbolic gestures and charged materiality. From bullet casings and musical instruments to everyday found objects, his work reframes narratives of survival, joy, and resistance. His practice has been featured at NXTHVN (Not For Sale, 2023), UTA Artist Space (Atlanta), PM/AM (London), and internationally in Paris, with works entering the permanent collection of the Baltimore Museum of Art.

In conversation, we’ll explore Massillon’s evolving practice, the politics of materials, and how art can hold both beauty and critique.

After the talk, please stay for a drink, a heated game of UNO, or a round of Dominoes. If you feel called to join us, please RSVP in advance—capacity is limited.

Thank you for considering.
