SUMMARY:NATURE Lab Workshop with Nathalie Dubois Calero: Tabletop Composting
DESCRIPTION:Life is a cycle\, let’s experience it by eating over decomposing food! Learn what can be composted and how to compost it. We will show you how to use bokashi and worms to compost indoors. \n\n\n\nMentor: Nathalie Dubois Calero \n\n\n\nOne foot in art\, one foot in science (I have a PhD in plant science)\, the head in stars\, I try to keep an uncertain balance. I worked with microalgae\, installed as a mobile or on a split object\, with airborne microorganisms -growing over a 10-foot specific fabric\, floating\, –  or with micro propagated cultures of genetically modified plants\, plastic\, found phones etc\, to create a man-made man. My works are a reflection about the world we construct around us to “protect” us\, the man-made nature we try to impose to the other organisms\, and to ourselves\, our fears of any organisms – specially the smallest and invisible ones- we cannot dominate or control\, but that are intimately in us. \n\n\n\nBorn in France and living in Montreal\, Canada\, I am affiliated to Milieux\, the Institute for Arts Culture and Technology at Concordia University\, in the Lab Cluster. I am an inviting researcher at  in the Art department as\, and at Nature lab -Troy. \n\n\n\nAbout the NATURE Lab: \n\n\n\nNorth Troy Art\, Technology\, and Urban Research in Ecology (NATURE) Lab is a volunteer-led urban ecology education initiative. Artist/scientist teams work to empower the community with knowledge about the local ecosystem and the skills to intervene in creative ways.

SUMMARY:Author Ronald Kitchen Presents "My Midnight Years"
DESCRIPTION:My Midnight Years: Surviving Jon Burge’s Police Torture Ring and Death Row tells the story of Ronald Kitchen’s 21 years in prison–including more than a decade on death row–and\, finally\, exoneration. Join author and activist Ronald Kitchen with author/professor/historian Thai Jones\, in a discussion of My Midnight Years. In conversation with Alice Green\, Executive Director\, Center for Law and Justice. Co-sponsored by: Justice for Dahmeek\, Urban Grief\, Amnesty International…. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn 1988\, Ronald Kitchen was tortured by Chicago Police detectives into confessing to a murder he did not commit. After 21 years in prison and more than a decade on death row\, he was finally exonerated. In My Midnight Years: Surviving Jon Burge’s Police Torture Ring and Death Row\, Kitchen and co-authors Thai Jones and Logan M. McBride tell his story. Check out the New Yorker story\, “How Chicago’s Public Schools Are Teaching the History of Police Torture\,” by Thai Jones\, September 27\, 2018. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nRONALD KITCHEN BIO \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRonald Kitchen was walking to buy cookies for his young son on a summer evening in 1988 when Chicago detectives picked him up for questioning. As the officers’ car headed toward the precinct\, the twenty-two-year-old called out the window to his family\, “I’ll be back in forty-five minutes.” It took him twenty-one years to make it home. \n\n\n\nKitchen was beaten and tortured by Chicago’s notorious police commander Jon Burge\, and his cronies\, until finally confessing to a gruesome quintuple homicide he did not commit. Convicted of murder and sentenced to die\, he spent the next two decades in prison—including a dozen years on death row—before at last winning his release and exoneration. Ronald Kitchen’s ordeal was not his alone. He was only one of scores of victims of Jon Burge and his notorious Midnight Crew\, a group of rogue Chicago police detectives who spent decades terrorizing\, brutalizing\, and incarcerating men—more than 120 have come forward so far—in Chicago’s African American communities. \n\n\n\nDuring his years in jail\, Kitchen co-founded the Death Row 10 from his maximum security cellblock. Together\, these men fought to expose the grave injustices that led to their wrongful convictions. The Death Row 10 appeared on 60 Minutes\, Nightline\, Oprah\, and Geraldo Rivera and\, with the help of lawyers and activists\, were instrumental in turning the tide against the death penalty in Illinois. Kitchen was finally exonerated in 2009 and won a high-profile lawsuit against the city of Chicago. My Midnight Years is the first book to be published about the Jon Burge scandal. \n\n\n\nTHAI JONES BIOThai Jones is a lecturer in history at Columbia University\, whose work examines radical social movements and political organizing. He is the author of two previous books his writings have appeared in a variety of national publications\, ranging from the New Yorker and the New York Times to The Nation and the Occupied Wall Street Journal.  \n\n\n\nALICE GREEN BIO \n\n\n\nDr. Alice Green is the Executive Director of the Center for Law and Justice\, a civil rights organization she founded in 1985. She has a doctorate in criminal justice and advanced degrees in education\, social work\, and criminology. \n\n\n\nIn 1985\, Governor Mario Cuomo appointed Dr. Green to membership on the Citizens Policy and Complaint Review Council of the New York State Commission of Corrections. A year later\, with Senate approval\, he appointed her to the position of Deputy Commissioner of the New York State Division of Probation and Correctional Alternatives. She was put in charge of strategic planning\, policy\, and information. After leaving state service\, she became Legislative Director for the New York Civil Liberties Union where she had served as Director of their Albany Office in 1982. \n\n\n\nAlice Green\, an adjunct professor at the University at Albany\, has also taught at Russell Sage and Siena College. She began her career as a secondary school teacher and social worker. For many years\, she directed Trinity Institution\, a youth and family services center in Albany’s South End.While there\, she also did community organizing and founded the South End Scene\, one of the longest published Black newspapers in Albany.

SUMMARY:NATURE Lab Workshop with Heather Dewey-Hagborg: Who Do You Think You Are- DNA Ancestry and Biosurveillance
DESCRIPTION:How much can you learn about a stranger from a stray cigarette butt? Our DNA can reveal stories about us—including our ancestry\, disease risks\, physical characteristics\, and predispositions. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThese stories pass from parent to child hidden within our cells. Today\, millions of people have explored their DNA to uncover these stories using direct-to-consumer sequencing services. In the process\, new questions about ancestry and the predictive power of the genome have arisen.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nWhat does (and doesn’t) your DNA reveal? How are emerging genetic technologies reinforcing age old stereotypes and what can we do to subvert them? \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nIn this workshop we will take a tour of DIY biotech including DNA extraction\, phenotyping\, and concoction of our own genetic obfuscation spray. We will explore the present and future of biological surveillance and discuss what you can do to resist it. Funded by NEA BioArt Futures… \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHeather Dewey-Hagborg is a transdisciplinary artist and educator who is interested in art as research and critical practice. Her controversial biopolitical art practice includes the project Stranger Visions in which she created portrait sculptures from analyses of genetic material (hair\, cigarette butts\, chewed up gum) collected in public places. Heather has shown work internationally at events and venues including the World Economic Forum\, the Shenzhen Urbanism and Architecture Biennale\, the Van Abbemuseum\, Transmediale and PS1 MOMA. Her work is held in public collections of the Centre Pompidou\, the Victoria and Albert Museum\, and the New York Historical Society\, and has been widely discussed in the media\, from the New York Times and the BBC to Art Forum and Wired. Heather has a PhD in Electronic Arts from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. She is an artist fellow at AI Now\, and an affiliate of Data & Society. She is also a co-founder and co-curator of REFRESH\, an inclusive and politically engaged collaborative platform at the intersection of Art\, Science\, and Technology.

DESCRIPTION:Trumpeter Chris Pasin performs music inspired by free jazz icons in a CD release party with Harvey Sorgen\, Michael Bisio\, Adam Siegel\, and Creative Music Studio founders Karl Berger and Ingrid Sertso. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nFor his fourth CD as leader\, jazz trumpeter Chris Pasin leads his vibrant band Ornettiquette in saluting NEA Jazz Master and Pulitzer Prize winner Ornette Coleman and his long-time collaborator Don Cherry. \n\n\n\n“Imagine standing on a beach with the tide tugging the sand away under your feet while still feeling grounded in sea and sand and ski—absolutely thrilling.”–Michael Hochanadel\, Jukebox\, The Daily Gazette \n\n\n\nWith his accessible and entertaining new album\, “Ornettiquette\,” trumpeter Chris Pasin and his adventurous band of inspired musicians take a joyous look at the music of saxophonist/composer/innovator Ornette Coleman and his long-time sonic partner trumpeter Don Cherry.  This is the fourth release as a leader for New York-native Pasin\, a longtime practitioner of jazz from straight-ahead to avant-garde.  \n\n\n\n“I became acquainted with the music of Ornette Coleman\, Don Cherry\, and Albert Ayler as a teenager\, and played along with their records\,” Pasin recalls. “A little later I transcribed ‘Ghosts\,’ and started playing it with people\, but it was not until recently that the idea of a band playing the music inspired by these heroes occurred to me\, thus engendering ‘Ornettiquette.’” \n\n\n\nHighlights among Ornettiquette’s eight compositions include: \n\n\n\n“Ghosts” salutes its composer\, Albert Ayler\, with steady confidence\, from the ethereal vocal/vibes/drums opening\, through compelling trumpet/sax interplay\, to a tender ending. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA chill-inducing rendition of “Lonely Woman\,” among Coleman’s most renowned compositions\, featuring an ominous bowed bass undercurrent\, introspective vocal\, and gripping trumpet solo. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrnettiquette’s upbeat and jaunty take on the lilting melody of “Tomorrow Is the Question.” Check out the fine saxophone solo and propulsive drumming. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChris Pasin\, a long-time resident of New York’s upper Hudson Valley\, earned a dual degree in classical and jazz trumpet performance at the New England Conservatory.  He has proved his bona fides in both forums\, playing with the likes of Gunther Schuller\, Toshiko Akiyoshi\, George Russell\, Jimmy Giuffre\, Jaki Byard\, Buddy Rich and a host of others.  Chris has an affinity for collaborating with singers\, working with legends including Frank Sinatra\, Mel Torme\, Nancy Wilson\, Sarah Vaughan and Tony Bennett. \n\n\n\nThis album marks the second collaboration between Pasin and producer Patricia Dalton Fennell on Planet Arts records. The first—2017’s successful holiday album “Baby It’s Cold Outside”—earned critical acclaim as well as a meteoric rise to the top 50 on the charts. \n\n\n\nWhen Pasin sought musicians to accompany him on his adventures into Ornette Coleman/Don Cherry territory\, he didn’t have to look far.  Fellow Hudson Valley dwellers Karl Berger (piano/vibes) and Ingrid Sertso (vocals) had both played with Coleman and Cherry. With encouragement from the two icons\, Berger and Sertso cofounded the Creative Music Studio in Woodstock in the early 1970s.  The pair have played and collaborated with innovators including Don Ellis\, Carla Bley\, Sam Rivers\, Pharoah Sanders\, Dave Holland\, Eric Dolphy\, Steve Lacy\, Ed Blackwell\, Bob Moses\, Pauline Oliveros\, Nana Vasconcelos\, Olatunji\, and others. \n\n\n\nAlso joining Pasin on Ornettiquette are: \n\n\n\nAlto saxophonist Adam Siegel\, who has fronted his own bands over the past decade as well as become an in-demand sideman. Recognized for his intense and original approach\, the graduate of Philadelphia’s University of the Arts has played with everyone from Dick Oatts to Pete Seeger. \n\n\n\nBassist Michael Bisio has appeared on dozens of albums as leader\, coleader or sideman with the likes of Matthew Shipp\, Charles Gayle\, Connie Crothers\, Whit Dickey\, Ivo Perelman\, Barbara Donald\, Newman Taylor Baker\, Sonny Simmons and Sabir Mateen.  The winner of multiple awards and grants\, Bisio is also a widely respected composer and educator. \n\n\n\nDrummer Harvey Sorgen has conducted workshops internationally and performed with Ahmad Jamal\, Dave Douglas\, Zakir Hussain\, Wadada Leo Smith\, Roswell Rudd\, Levon Helm\, Bill Frisell\, Carlos Santana\, Greg Allman\, Jack DeJohnette\, and more. \n\n\n\nWith its invigorating and heartfelt sound\, Ornettiquette is certain to delight jazz fans in the know\, as well as be a great introduction to the music for the so-far uninitiated. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBelow are more videos from the event\, featuring several songs from the group.

SUMMARY:NATURE Lab Workshop with Natalie Dubois Calero: Wearing Bacteria
DESCRIPTION:Take a peek into the tiny world around us! Ever wonder what’s lurking on and around you? Learn about what microorganisms live on your skin and in the air. We will test for tiny life using felt and edible media\, and even grow airborne bacteria on underwear! \n\n\n\nAges 12+ \n\n\n\nMentor: Natalie Dubois Calero \n\n\n\nOne foot in art\, one foot in science (I have a PhD in plant science)\, the head in stars\, I try to keep an uncertain balance. I worked with microalgae\, installed as a mobile or on a split object\, with airborne microorganisms -growing over a 10-foot specific fabric\, floating\, –  or with micro propagated cultures of genetically modified plants\, plastic\, found phones etc\, to create a man-made man. My works are a reflection about the world we construct around us to “protect” us\, the man-made nature we try to impose to the other organisms\, and to ourselves\, our fears of any organisms – specially the smallest and invisible ones- we cannot dominate or control\, but that are intimately in us. \n\n\n\nBorn in France and living in Montreal\, Canada\, I am affiliated to Milieux\, the Institute for Arts Culture and Technology at Concordia University\, in the Lab Cluster.

SUMMARY:NATURE Lab Workshop with Leila Nadir and Cary Adams: Feral Fermentation
DESCRIPTION:This class shares ancient practices of fermentation\, followed by the reaction of edible bio-art that will take two weeks for microbes to cook for you. \n\n\n\nOpen-Source education contra the neoliberal university. Slow-cooking class with raw dripping shelf-unstable cabbage. Spiritual revival of unsterilized interspecies collaborations. Ritualistic healing of Industrial Amnesia. Ecstatic dwelling in decomposition and decay. We will be reading about and discussing ancient practices of fermentation\, followed by the creation of edible bio-art in the kitchen that will take two weeks for microbes to cook for you. Preceded by social time with bio artists Leila Nadir and Cary Adams. Funded by NEA BioArt Futures. \n\n\n\nSign up here \n\n\n\nBios: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLeila Nadir and Cary Adams have been working together for over two decades as multi-species kin-makers\, creative-critical researchers\, undisciplined storytellers\, eccentric educators\, and healers of industrial amnesia. Their mediums are poetic visibility\, feeling-perception\, and the simple acts of everyday life in an effort to regenerate and repair disturbed ecologies. Their work has been supported by the National Endowment for the Arts\, Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts\, Center for Land Use Interpretation\, New York Foundation for the Arts\, New York State Council on the Arts\, Andrew W. Mellon Foundation\, K2 Family Foundation\, and Franklin Furnace Fund. They teach at the University of Rochester in upstate New York\, where Nadir is Assistant Professor and Founding Director of the Environmental Humanities Program and Adams is Associate Professor of New Media and Emerging Practices. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpecial thanks to prof. Kathy High\, from RPI’s Humanities Arts and Social Science department\, for her collaboration with the Sanctuary for Independent Media on this workshop though her Biopunk class which is part of the NEA funded Bioart Futures and (Forgotten) Urban Ecologies: a series of artist Residencies/workshops presenting contemporary art working with living systems\, sustainable practices\, and using biological techniques and materials. Biopunk is an upper level art and science seminar combining lectures\, critical readings\, hands-on workshops and diy methodologies that teaches the language\, aesthetics and techniques of working with biological materials. Emphasis will be on acquisition of a working knowledge of the history and contemporary investigations of the microbiome and how to culturally explore these scenarios of living amongst multiple diverse communities and species. Influenced by the “punk” era and the beginnings of punk resistance\, as well as the biohacker community\, emphasis will also be placed on developing critical and transgressive thought around ethical issues and cross-disciplinary experimentation in art – such as art/science collaborations\, art as research. \n\n\n\nAbout the NATURE Lab: \n\n\n\nNorth Troy Art\, Technology\, and Urban Research in Ecology (NATURE) Lab is a volunteer-led urban ecology education initiative. North Central Troy is one of the most environmentally devastated neighborhoods of New York State. One block from the Hudson River\, our environmental education campus is adjacent to brownfield areas\, combined sewer overflows\, and seemingly endless litter. Artist/scientist teams work to empower the community with knowledge about the local ecosystem and the skills to intervene in creative ways. Our programming includes community workshops\, public art installations\, artist residencies\, research activities\, and after school activities. We seek to combine global expertise with local knowledge to address the issues that are unique to the North Troy ecosystem and community.

SUMMARY:"Resilience: The Biology of Stress and the Science of Hope" Film Screening and Panel
DESCRIPTION:At 5pm\, join us for a community potluck. Then\, at 6pm\, there will be a screening of the groundbreaking documentary Resilience: The Biology of Stress and the Science of Hope\, a film examining the emerging science around toxic stress and how it negatively alters the brains and bodies of children if left untreated. Following the screening\, Urban Grief will host a panel discussion on the subject of trauma and resilience\, with Damonni Farley\, Jerry Ford Jr.\, Jennifer Livingston and Carrie Reif. \n\n\n\nCo-sponsored by Urban Grief. Urban Grief  works to increase awareness about the emotional and mental health impact that results from exposure to violence and death\, by providing crisis/bereavement support\, to break down the walls of isolation and fear by connecting community members and caregivers with each other as a resource and mutual support. \n\n\n\nABOUT THIS FILM“…an engrossing study of how Adverse Childhood Experiences (or ACEs) can be linked to destructive behavior and medical diseases”–Matt Fagerholm ROGEREBERT.COM \n\n\n\nThe child may not remember\, but the body remembers. \n\n\n\nResearchers have recently discovered a dangerous biological syndrome caused by abuse and neglect during childhood. As the new documentary Resilience reveals\, toxic stress can trigger hormones that wreak havoc on the brains and bodies of children\, putting them at a greater risk for disease\, homelessness\, prison time\, and early death. While the broader impacts of poverty worsen the risk\, no segment of society is immune. Resilience\, however\, also chronicles the dawn of a movement that is determined to fight back. Trailblazers in pediatrics\, education\, and social welfare are using cutting-edge science and field-tested therapies to protect children from the insidious effects of toxic stress—and the dark legacy of a childhood that no child would choose. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“RESILIENCE” EVENT ORGANIZER LISA GOOD: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLisa Good\, MSW\, is founding the director of Urban Grief\, a trauma-informed community-based organization that educates on the effects of violence and supports those affected through outreach and victim advocacy. She is the former director of SNUG (formerly known as Cure Violence) and has over 25 years of human service experience. She is an experienced speaker and trainer\, facilitating trauma-informed workshops such as Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)\, and community events\, and faith-based workshops aimed at creating healing spaces and empowering community members through information about trauma\, grief\, and resilience. \n\n\n\nPANEL: \n\n\n\n\nDamonni Farley: Founder of Common Thread Consulting Family and Community Relations Coordinator for the Schenectady City School District. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nDeacon Jerry Ford\, a husband\, father and leader; has seen his share of trauma and adversity. he lost his mother and father at a young age. He was raised by a loving aunt\, but found himself in the streets looking for the love he never received from his parents and eventually ended up in prison. After his 3rd prison stint\, he saw himself on a path toward life in prison or death. Deacon Ford’s story of resilience and hope is impacting nations across the nation. He is co-founder TEAM Hero/ Block Program.  \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nJennifer Livingston\, Youth Empowerment Coordinator\, 21st Century After School Program\, Troy City School District; co-founder TEAM Hero/ Block Program.  \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nCarrie Reif\, Rhema Revealed Ministries!
