Not dressing up for Halloween because your birthday’s the next day and you want your beauty sleep like me? (Reminder: My wishlist is here) Bicycling Angelenos have a second chance to dress up — and be part of a funky pharma run to boot!
The Little Pharma Drug Run — happening thanks to a Museum of Contemporary Art initiative dubbed Engagement Party, which gives artsy collectives a chance to throw once-a-month public events — wants to dress you up as your fave drug.
When: Thursday, Nov. 6, 7 – 10 pm
Where: Sculpture Plaza at MOCA Grand Avenue, 250 S. Grand Ave., Los Angeles
Cost: FREE! No reservations required. BYO bike!
The organizers describe it thusly:
Starting at MOCA Grand Avenue, participants will first meet for a costume-making workshop and screening of the Media Education Foundation’s Big Bucks, Big Pharma: Marketing Disease and Pushing Drugs, a video documentary narrated by Amy Goodman.
Dressed as their favorite pharmaceuticals, they will then embark on a group bicycle tour of downtown Los Angeles drugstores. The event will culminate at Fringe Exhibitions in Chinatown, which is hosting an incarnation of Finishing School’s Little Pharma, an interdisciplinary project investigating alternative medicines and lifestyles as viable antidotes to some of the drug industry’s pathologies.
If you were a drug, what drug would you be? I think I would be Wellbutrin –
