Mikki Ulaszewski is a Seattle-based artist, curator, and content creator with a background in photography and over a decade in graphic design, who has recently expanded into puppet making and performing with their fuzzy friends.<\/p>\n
For their work as Town Hall’s Fall 2025 Artist-in-Residence, Mikki is creating a new piece of puppetry that blends performance and teaching, reimagining the story of Medusa not as a cursed figure but as a powerful protector. As they explain, “in a time when society is veering toward conservative extremes and rights for women and trans people are being stripped away, this work seeks to honor Medusa as happy and strong \u2014 a symbol of rage, resilience, and self-protection for women and femmes.”<\/p>\n
Mikki’s Scratch Night will be a look behind the curtain on the creation of the puppets, pieces for the set, and storyboarding for their final Findings Night piece, One Must Imagine Medusa Happy.<\/em><\/p>\n Attendees will also have an opportunity to create a sock puppet for their own personal performances! After the talk, Mikki will lead an inf sock puppet creation workshop and offer ideas of how to use other household materials to bring your creativity to life. Socks provided, but also BYOS \u2014 bring your own socks \u2014 are welcome!<\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"scratch-night-mikki-ulaszewski","image":{"url":"https:\/\/townhallseattle.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/mikki-ulaszewski.jpg","id":67541,"extension":"jpg","width":800,"height":400,"filesize":225422,"sizes":{"medium":{"width":300,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":14146,"url":"https:\/\/townhallseattle.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/mikki-ulaszewski-300x150.jpg"},"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":10490,"url":"https:\/\/townhallseattle.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/mikki-ulaszewski-150x150.jpg"},"medium_large":{"width":768,"height":384,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":47026,"url":"https:\/\/townhallseattle.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/mikki-ulaszewski-768x384.jpg"},"et-pb-post-main-image":{"width":400,"height":250,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":23595,"url":"https:\/\/townhallseattle.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/mikki-ulaszewski-400x250.jpg"},"et-pb-portfolio-image":{"width":400,"height":284,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":25852,"url":"https:\/\/townhallseattle.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/mikki-ulaszewski-400x284.jpg"},"et-pb-portfolio-module-image":{"width":510,"height":382,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":37597,"url":"https:\/\/townhallseattle.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/mikki-ulaszewski-510x382.jpg"},"et-pb-gallery-module-image-portrait":{"width":400,"height":400,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":35682,"url":"https:\/\/townhallseattle.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/mikki-ulaszewski-400x400.jpg"},"et-pb-image--responsive--phone":{"width":480,"height":240,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":24560,"url":"https:\/\/townhallseattle.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/mikki-ulaszewski-480x240.jpg"}}},"all_day":false,"start_date":"2025-10-26
