Siren Island

Siren Island, Ephemerisle 2019. Photo by Masha Mitkov.

Siren Island is modeled off the greek mythology of the Seirēn, it makes relevant the powerful untamed feminine that bestows healing powers and offers the wisdom of nature. Through archaeological and ethnographic research on the history and use of olive oil, our treatments revolve around oil bathing, giving the island its phrase ET OLEVM AD INFLVVNT, meaning “The Oil Will Flow.” We repair what has been stripped from our skin and teach what has been forgotten from our language. We commune with the earth and bathe in the harvest. They had nectar and ambrosia, but we have olive oil, and The Oil Will Flow. [Rising Tithe Subscription[2]]

A living tree installation.

The Swimming Tree will grow from a floating platform that sits at the center of the Arts District and acts as a swimming dock. During the day, swimmers will relax on cushions under the tree’s shade. At night, lights will peak from the canopy and create a quiet and magical place.

The Pontunery

The Pontunery Shade Platform at Ephemerisle 2018


For the third year, The Pontunery Shade Platform returns to Ephemerisle to host live music jams, performances, and workshops on our beautiful floating porch.

The Pontunery first arrived at Ephemerisle as a pontoon boat in 2016, hence the name. We rented a pontoon boat and transformed it into a live music jam space with comfortable seating and shade. In 2017 we created a 12x16 hand-built floating porch for waterside music playing and lounging in the shade. We have hosted karaoke, workshops and talks, a dance party, and much music-playing.

Have You No Shame?

Have You No Shame? An Interactive Social Hygiene Teaching Game

Have You No Shame are a set of "Adopt-a-Shame" cards featuring festival and boating mishaps and social faux pas. Adopt someone else's abandoned Shame and pose for a proud photo as a new Shameparent. Look for the person who actually did the bad thing. Also, don't ever do that thing again.

Have You No Shame may attempt to be a photo booth for 2019. There will at least be a cool sign, by Dawn Ho.
