Celeste Neuhaus: Reaping The Sown
Center for PostNatural History
Friday November 20th
6:00, 7:00, & 8:00
>>> ORDER TICKETS NOW <<<
Reaping the Sown is a guided ritual performance reclaiming the traditions of Thanksgiving.
Come gather with the Scarecrow, Saturn, and the Grim Reaper at the crossroads of Excess and Abundance.
In offering to the land that is both stolen and stolen from, we synchronize with the cosmic cycles of the seasons, and share this final harvest as a celebratory act of defiance.
Feast your eyes
On the head of the table.
The scar tissue
The warning label.
Carve the truck nuts
Preserve and pickle.
Horn of plenty
Shopping cart
Sickle.
The corn goes
Pop
The inner tyrant.
The slingshot
The Tech giant.
Thrash the monocrop
Gaia’s revolt.
Unseat the father
Lightning bolt.
Gobble gobble
Vomit the stone.
Shuck the husk
Strip the bone.
the debt forgiveness
of denatured soil.
A watched pot
still comes to a boil.
the Daddy issue
melancholy of decay.
Say grace to the Furies
turning night into day
Celeste Neuhaus (she/they) is a multimodal artist and witch who constellates magic, ecology, and healing. Through sculpture, painting, assemblage, installation and guided rituals, their art incites transformation by reckoning with the disconnections caused by living within amalgamated systems of necrocapitalism and corresponding biodiversity annihilation. Incorporating alchemy, surrealism, the absurd and the erotic, her work vividly materializes the often subconscious interdependencies in the continuum between the somatic - psychological - political - ecological - cosmological - metaphysical.
Celeste is the originator of Conjure Creativity: one-on-one sessions and group workshops where she guides participants through deeper embodied alignment with their unique creative process. This work is an act of dissent, and an offering of service and devotion to the wildness and mystery that ignite and nourish each individual's life force.

2026 PostNatural Artist in Residence
We are thrilled to announce Celeste Neuhaus (she/they) as our 2026 Artist-In-Residence. Celeste launched a series of performances titled In Observance in the Tonsorium@PostNatural beginning with Licking The Wound on Feb 13, 2026.
Celeste is a multimodal artist and witch who makes devotional offerings through painting, collage, sculpture, installation, performance, video and interactive ritual. Revealing the interdependencies between the somatic, psychological, ecological, and cosmological, her work invites healing and incites transformation.
In Observance is a 4 part performance series created by Artist In Residence Celeste Neuhaus that serves as magical, ecological and erotic reclamation of the layered meanings underneath one holiday during each of the four seasons of 2026.
Incorporating specimens from the Center For Postnatural History’s collection, and including other contributing artists, In Observance evokes what lies beneath the surface of Valentine’s Day, Easter, The Fourth of July, and Thanksgiving. At the convergence where the post-natural seeps into the overculture’s traditions, each performance event tends to the cosmological roots of what have since largely morphed into rote rituals of consumption. In Observance both honors and resists the conditions of the time we are living in by offering absurdist and surreal rituals of solidarity and celebration.
