 e Deeble and A.J. McClenon are Chicago based artists interested in the hea
 ling properties of art and sound. Originally collaborating for Beauty Brea
 ks\, a participatory workshop series for femmes of the Afro-Diaspora. Adri
 enne and A.J. have come together again to create a new sound bath for Gall
