Lots happening in days ahead at the Hub (community center where SubRosa is located)… note: first event listed below, Rally for Juristac, is in San Jose and Practicing Abolitionist Principles is in Watsonville: 

Saturday!

-Rally for Juristac - from FB event post - https://fb.me/e/1TqVvkpl9 "STAND WITH US — The sacred ceremonial heartland of the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band near Gilroy, CA is threatened by a proposed 403-acre sand and gravel mining operation. 

Santa Clara County has released an environmental analysis of the project and soon will decide whether to approve or deny permits for the mine. If built, this project would devastate pristine grasslands and woodlands, impair a critical wildlife movement corridor, and desecrate Amah Mutsun (Ohlone) sacred sites.

Join us in front of the Santa Clara County building on Sept. 10, 1-4pm to stand together for the land, for cultural survival, and to show the strength of our collective determination to protect Juristac!

Thursday, August 11th:

-Radical Political Theory Reading Group – Thursdays, 11th, 18th, 25th / 1:30 – 4:30 p.m. with Gabriel (gabrielmindel@gmail.com)

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

Description: In this reading group we are exploring political theory in two senses of the word "radical". First we are looking at texts that are from of the edges of contemporary political theory – feminist care, black anarchism, autonomous zones, anonymity, abolition – ideas of politics and the political that are original, that defy convention, and that challenge our notions of what is acceptable to say, do or think. The second sense is one that takes seriously the origins of the word "radical", suggesting "roots" or the hidden networks underground that both give strength to the foundations of political activity, and that draw into it the necessary elements for flourishing. We will be looking at contemporary works of political theory that seek to transform the world from the (under)ground up. Each week we'll read one short book and have a discussion facilitated by our small collective. Everything we'll read has been published in the last two years, giving us a chance to engage in a diverse collection of new ideas about how we change the world. Please contact in advance to find out more about the reading group and to get our reading list! – gabrielmindel@gmail.com

-Salsa Dance Club Basics – Saturday, August 13th / 9:30 – 10:15 a.m. with Annalisa Carrillo-Fulk (SalsaWithAnna@gmail.com)

Location: Seabright Beach, lifeguard tower 2-3

Description:  Salsa Dance is a massively popular culmination of dance styles, rooted in Afro-Cuban dances. Learning the basic Salsa rhythm will not only be your ticket to jumping onto the dance floor with some new moves, but give you a foundation for your own style, creativity and Salsa "sabor"/flavor that you can enjoy developing over time. I'll teach a few go-to movements then we'll dance all together to a few of my favorite songs. THIS CLASS WILL TEACH FOOTWORK INDIVIDUALLY AND WILL NOT INCLUDE PARTNER DANCING. Materials: No flip flops; tennis shoes or athletic shoes are ideal. Accessibility: We'll be dancing in the sand so it's uneven; wear shoes that you don't mind getting sandy or go barefoot.

Location: at Tabby Cat Cafe, 1101 Cedar Street, Santa Cruz, CA

Description: In this collective course I would like to think about how women in liberation movements, such as the Zapatista, Kurdish, Palestinian, and Black Panther Party, have opened up space for women to form connections with one another while challenging both external and internal patriarchal gender dynamics. We will focus on reading mainly auto-biographical accounts from women in each movement and then work on collaborative art making that represents what we have learned from the readings. This can look like portraits, print-making, poetry, dance, etc! As we engage with this material I would like us to focus on what we can learn from each movement, and how it relates to us as we work towards making revolutionary alternatives and combatting patriarchy in our own lives. Materials: sketchbooks, art supplies, etc.

-Wednesday, August 3rd, courtyard film screening of "Machines in Flames" (2022, 50 min.) gate at 7:30pm + W&A with Andrew at SubRosa, 703 Pacific Ave 

Machines in Flames (2022, 50min) is a cinematic search for the elusive group CLODO, who bombed computer companies in 1980s Toulouse, France. Journeying through the cybernetic nodes of military, industrial, and socialist development, the film exposes how recording devices fail to collect the ashes of history. The film combines archival traces, a viral desktop choreography, and paranoid footage of nocturnal stakeouts into a philosophical investigation of self-combustion. The film is the debut work of the Destructionist International, and the first in a series of films on the appetite for abolition in ultra-leftism. It was first distributed through a network of self-erasing USB data sticks dropped outside corporate campuses. https://machinesinflames.com/
