Location: SubRosa, 703 Pacific Avenue, Santa Cruz, CA

Description:  Join us for a three part screening of the documentary, "The Principles of Pleasure", to learn more about how patriarchy and capitalism have oppressed, racialized, gendered, and classed pleasure of the body, mind, and spirit. With a documentary that explores the relationship between social phenomena and scientific research, we will learn about not only how to cherish and celebrate our bodies, but also how to use our access to pleasure as a weapon against the oppressive social, political, economic systems in which we find ourselves today. Screening (50 mins)+ Discussion (30 mins). - NOTE: showing inside - please wear a mask!

Sunday! 12/4:

-Getting into Foreign Cinema – 4 – 5 p.m. with Taylor Gorman (Yimyamet@gmail.com) and following Sundays too!

Location:  SubRosa, 703 Pacific Avenue, Santa Cruz, CA

Description:  Outside of class, we will watch movies on Kanopy, which is a free streaming service you can access with your local library card. We will watch a movie before each class, ranging from French New Wave to the cinema of Japan and India, and then talk about how these works fit into cinema history and influence. Materials:  Just a library card and a Kanopy account with it.

-Poetry Workshop – 5 – 7 p.m. with Taylor Gorman (Yimyamet@gmail.com) and following Sundays too!

Location:  SubRosa, 703 Pacific Avenue, Santa Cruz, CA

Description:  In this class, we will write poetry (both in and out of class) and workshop our pieces to work on editing, tone, voice, style, and constructive criticism. We will also analyze the work of other contemporary poets. You don't need to have written any poetry before–the class is open to everyone. Materials:  I will bring all the stuff, or steal it from work.

Monday! 12/5:

-Fábrica Open Hours – Saturdays / 2-5 p.m. and Mondays / 1-4 p.m. with Fábrica Collective (thefabrica@thefabrica.org)

Location: The Fábrica, 703 Pacific Avenue, Santa Cruz, CA

Location:  SubRosa, 703 Pacific Avenue, Santa Cruz, CA

Description:  An open forum for people that do/want to do drag to get together, exchange ideas, practice performing or work on making outfits together! I also envision at least one of the sessions as a group trip to a thrift store (or similar). I don't really like the idea of calling it a "class" or myself a "teacher", because art is so subjective, but I think it would be fun to facilitate a program like that so people can do it collectively and all share knowledge and experience 🙂 Materials:  Nothing required, but if you are working on anything for your own drag art, you should bring it!

Location:  SubRosa Courtyard, 703 Pacific Avenue, Santa Cruz, CA

-Kandiaronk and the Indigenous Critique of Europe – 5 p.m. with Stefania Cotei (stefaniacotei@gmail.com)

Location:  SubRosa Courtyard, 703 Pacific Avenue, Santa Cruz, CA

Description:  Learn about the untold history of how the Enlightenment draws its roots in the knowledge exchange between indigenous Americans and European colonizers. Did you know that not only did indigenous Americans often travel to Europe as diplomats, but also heavily critiqued the European way of life, social organization, and political and economic structures? By reflecting on the story of Wendat philosopher and statesman, Kandiaronk, as written by David Graeber and David Wengrow in their book, "The Dawn of Everything," we will explore how concepts of communism, anarchism, equality, and freedom came to be part of the conversation throughout Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries. 

Kandiaronk class is the Wednesday right before "Thanksgiving" because it's a story about indigenous knowledge and influence, and I thought it was fitting and timely.

Next Monday, Poetry reading & music- November 14th, 7-9pm with Lis White, who just published her first book of poems - https://www.instagram.com/earthmaven/ / And music by Stone Crowe and Burl (from the band Byssus https://www.instagram.com/byssusfolk/ )

From Iridaea: "this is a stop on her promo tour… themes of the poems include ancestral reconnection from within her experience of being mixed-race, vulnerable perspectives
on sex and love and missed understandings, and magical experiences of this world. I've found it to be one of those books that I need to set down and just breathe into for awhile after some of the poems -- really heart-opening stuff. And the book art is done by Amara Hollow Bones, it was one of the last art projects Amara gave their blessing to. I'll read some poems and play a song or two to open up, and there may be more performers as well. Should be a nice night." Hosted by https://www.instagram.com/temple_of_the_waters/ // book art by https://www.instagram.com/amarahollowbones/

From publisher: "American Sycamore is an exploration of racial identity and the natural world, rooted in the mythopoetics of wilderness and ancestry as sources of trauma, grief, wonder, and tremendous resource. In pursuit of understanding the nuances of belonging and displacement in a Black mixed-race feminine body, Lisbeth White travels through mythic, biological, and geological landscapes, attending to the body and its beautiful and terrifying questions. Her journey manifests in a poetic helix of recurring bridges, trees, myths, origins, and awakenings. From the bayou, to Belgium, to Barbados, these poems traverse global terrain while interrogating the dark past/present of America. In American Sycamore, the poet examines the Black diaspora, ancestral reparation, and the sacred feminine, inviting the reader into a deep conversation of seeking and recovery." https://www.instagram.com/perugiapress/
