SUMMARY:Training for Transition
DESCRIPTION:A weekend workshop on The Transition Movement\, which is comprised of vibrant\, grassroots community initiatives that seek to build community resilience in the face of such challenges as peak oil\, climate change and the economic crisis. Transition Initiatives differentiate themselves from other sustainability and “environmental” groups by seeking to mitigate these converging global crises by engaging their communities in home-grown\, citizen-led education\, action\, and multi-stakeholder planning to increase local self reliance and resilience. They succeed by regeneratively using their local assets\, innovating\, networking\, collaborating\, replicating proven strategies\, and respecting the deep patterns of nature and diverse cultures in their place. Transition initiatives work with deliberation and good cheer to create a fulfilling and inspiring local way of life that can withstand the shocks of rapidly shifting global systems.

SUMMARY:Underground Gallery Exhibition: Media Nodes\, Photos by Sean Hemmerle
DESCRIPTION:Media Nodes was born of award-winning photographer Sean Hemmerle’s desire to document the news media in the midst of an historic transformation. “People throw around this word all the time\, mostly disparagingly: ‘oh\, the media\,’ and ‘media spin\,” he says. “That made me think: who is the media? And what about the media? I wanted to put a face on these media nodes\, the places where news is ‘made’ if you will.” This world-premiere exhibition of the eight-year project Media Nodes was originally published in the Columbia Journalism Review. It is a view behind the curtain\, beyond the front page\, to the interior landscape of an industry in transition.  \n\n\n\nOn view 10/6/11-12/3/11.

SUMMARY:Sidi Touré and Friends
DESCRIPTION:Our Fall 2011 season opens with music from Mail\, the hotbed of new African music\, featuring: Sidi Touré\, guitar and vocals; Jambla Maiga\, kuntigui; Domu Maiga\, kurbu. Touré made his first guitar as a child\, constructing it from his wooden writing slate in the ancient town of Gao\, Mali. Once the heart of the Songhaï empire and burial place of its Askia kings\, the town rests between the Niger and the encroaching ocean of sand known as the Sahara Desert. The Songhai empire was the last of the great empires of the Sahel\, reaching its zenith under Soni Alibert (Sunni Ali) in the mid 400’s. Sidi Touré was born here in 1959\, but to be born a Touré\, a noble family who trace their lineage directly from the Askia kings\, carried a significance and onus of a past that reaches directly into the present. Like another Malian noble turned singer\, Salif Keita\, Sidi Touré faced a conflict between the inexorable pull of music and the expectations of family and society. Touré’s family had been sung about\, and sung to\, by traditional griots for centuries\, but until a small boy challenged the rules\, the Touré’s did not sing!

SUMMARY:"Taking Liberties" with Author Susan Herman\, President of ACLU
DESCRIPTION:October 2011 marks the 10th anniversary of the Patriot Act. In the days following 9/11\, fear and shock dominated the public and domestic security issues rose to the top of our agenda. The state of emergency that began during the Bush administration has continued into the Obama administration. But how many of actions taken to keep Americans safe are effective and worthwhile? Are we\, as Americans\, giving up too much to employ many of the antiterrorism tactics in use? In Taking Liberties: The War on Terror and the Erosion of Democracy author Susan Herman\, president of the American Civil Liberties Union\, examines the human and social costs of the War on Terror.  \n\n\n\n“This book is about us and it is about now\,” Herman writes\, “A decade is long enough time to allow us to step back and try to look at the whole picture of the costs and benefits of strategies that were forged during the panicky days right after 9/11.”  \n\n\n\nShould we be willing to tolerate the current level of surveillance\, intrusion\, and potential error because these efforts are helping to keep us safe?  \n\n\n\nCo-sponsored by Market Block Books and the NYCLU Capital Region Chapter.
