The title of this show, Teratoplastica, references positive and negative aspects of our current plastic discards crisis: Teras are supernatural omens that are at the same time wondrous marvels and monstrous malformations and deviations. We have created a fabulous monster and now it is shaping us and our world in unpredictable, queer ways.

We, at the Hub, are so happy to be participating with Las Posadas again this year. Join us on Thursday, December 19th to welcome the procession. Or walk and sing with the procession, and we'll greet you with music, food and warm drinks.
As the number of refugees increases every day, the tradition of Las Posadas reminds us of the many families around the globe asking for a place to survive and raise their children.

The nightly processions of Las Posadas are a re-enactment of Mary and Joseph's search for a lodging (posada) in Bethlehem. Each night, we will gather for a candlelight procession to the "posada" - the venue for that night's celebration. The next night's procession begins at the previous night's location until the we reach the final night's venue. https://www.facebook.com/events/3128685787161396/

Comments on the SubRosa website are fully moderated. As a collective, we agreed that the purpose of the website was to promote SubRosa, not to provide an online place for lively and invigorating debate. We hope that the space itself is where conversations on the nature of anarchism and local projects will take place. That said, we occasionally approve comments that are informative or reflect a viewpoint we feel it is important for website visitors to read.
