SUMMARY:State of Science with CapSci!
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a panel on science activism and advocacy in the Capital Region with public officials\, scientists\, and activists focusing on how we\, as concerned citizens\, can get involved most effectively. The event\, which replaces this year’s March for Science\, is produced by CapSci. This informal panel will be followed by a Q&A with some prepared questions. Then we will open it up to Q&A: we are open to some lively discussion. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMORE ABOUT CapSci:This CapSci event is a “Fact Finding Mission”.  Since our group has organized the March for Science\, and since there is no National March\, we were asked by the National organization to plan a “Day of Science Activism” instead.  We asked ourselves\, “what does that actually look like?  Is it letter writing\, some other form of protest? What would make a Day of Science Activism look different than an Earth Day event?  What are the best ways for individuals to have an influence and be able to speak about Science in a relevant manner?” \n\n\n\nCapSci aims to advance the public understanding of science in the New York Capital Region. Our mission is to foster interactions between scientists and nonscientists\, to promote science-based public policy and scientifically literate policy makers\, and to nurture diversity within the scientific community. We hold monthly Science lectures in area bars\, Science communication workshops using Improv techniques\, Science-themed poetry nights and theater performances\, and youth STEM outreach activities.

SUMMARY:Author Dahr Jamail Presents: The End of Ice
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a book talk with Dahr Jamail and a great evening of conversation!  \n\n\n\nAfter nearly a decade as a war reporter\, the acclaimed journalist returns to America to renew his passion for mountaineering\, only to find that the slopes he had once climbed have been irrevocably changed by climate disruption.  \n\n\n\nMore about The End of Ice \n\n\n\nFor his latest book\, “The End of Ice” he traveled to the front lines of extreme shifts in habitat and ecology: Denali in Alaska\, where glaciers are rapidly melting; the Pribilof Islands in the Bering Sea\, where increasingly horrific storms and “large-scale die-offs” decimate the local culture; the Rock Islands of Palau in the western Pacific ocean\, where corals experience often fatal “bleaching”; and the Amazon\, whose famous biodiversity is threatened by deforestation\, warming temperatures\, and various other human-caused effects. \n\n\n\n\nThe book is assiduously researched\, profoundly affecting\, and filled with vivid evocations of the natural world. Jamail’s deep love of nature blazes through his crisp\, elegant prose\, and he ably illuminates less-discussed aspects of climate disruption\, like the Alexandrium toxin\, a “marine dinoflagellate” responsible for the mass deaths of birds and fish\, and white pine blister rust\, “one of the single largest threats to trees in the continental United States.” \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe constant assessment of Earth’s grim status can be a tad repetitive\, but perhaps that’s the point\, as Jamail infuses the book with a sense of reluctant futility. Near the end\, he writes that he has surrendered his hope that “bludgeoning people with scientific reports about increasingly dire predictions of the future would wake them up about the planetary crisis we find ourselves in.” \n\n\n\nNow\, he grieves\, which “is a way of honoring what we are losing.”A passionate\, emotional ode to the wonders of our dying planet and to those who\, hopelessly or not\, dedicate their lives to trying to save it. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdvance Praise for The End of Ice\n\n\n\n“Assiduously researched\, profoundly affecting\, and filled with vivid evocations of the natural world. Jamail’s deep love of nature blazes through his crisp\, elegant prose\, and he ably illuminates less-discussed aspects of climate disruption…. A passionate\, emotional ode to the wonders of our dying planet and to those who\, hopelessly or not\, dedicate their lives to trying to save it.” -Kirkus Reviews \n\n\n\n“In a sane world The End of Ice would be the end of lame excuses that climate change is too abstract to get worked up about. From the Arctic to the Amazon\, from doomed Miami to the Great Barrier Reef\, Dahr Jamail brings every frontier in our on-going calamity into close focus. The losses are tangible. And so is the grief. This is more than a good book. It is a wise one.” -William deBuys\, author of A Great Aridness and The Last Unicorn \n\n\n\n“Jamail’s stories—of journey\, expertise\, and compassion—ensure that we can look at the sometimes failing sometimes triumphing world we inhabit with love. For many\, this love will be accompanied by shame for our own failings and misguided triumphs over the living beings\, lands\, waters\, and ices we live among. No matter the wounds—those of the planet’s or our own human sufferings—The End of Ice guides us toward experiencing these rapidly shifting spaces as sanctuaries\, places to remind ourselves we are alive and among the living. We can’t imagine yet what the new world will look like\, the one we are creating by carving away at and poisoning the first world we were given\, the one that will ultimately go on in our absence\, but this book will help us begin to take notice of it\, as it is already arriving. I am grateful for this gift of wonder and contemplation that Jamail has given us\, and the opportunity to slow for a moment and take in the immensity of my own life and participation in the existence we all share. This earth was our first teacher\, and though we haven’t listened well\, we have time yet to hear its song.” -Natalie Diaz\, poet\, Native language activist and author of When My Brother Was An Aztec and the forthcoming Postcolonial Love Poem\, Graywolf Press 2020.

SUMMARY:What is Democracy? with Filmmaker Astra Taylor
DESCRIPTION:What is Democracy is an idiosyncratic\, philosophical take on the evolution of democracy through the ages\, from its philosophical origins in Greece\, through its capitalist growth in Italy\, to the modern world.  \n\n\n\nFeaturing a diverse cast—including celebrated theorists\, trauma surgeons\, activists\, factory workers\, asylum seekers\, and former prime ministers—this urgent film connects the past and the present\, the emotional and the intellectual\, the personal and the political\, in order to provoke and inspire. If we want to live in democracy\, we must first ask what the word even means. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCo-sponsored by iEAR Presents and Arts Department of the School of HASS\, and made possible in part by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.

SUMMARY:Getting Grounded: Transplanting Party with Collard City Growers
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to plant seedlings and divide perennials in hopes to spread the bounty across Freedom Square  and Collard City Growers gardens at the Freedom Festival!  \n\n\n\nCollard City Growers is a volunteer-run food justice project where we connect arts and culture to growing a wealth of annuals and perennials including vegetables\, medicinal herbs\, natural dye plants\, grains\, and fruit trees. We share our homegrown harvest at neighborhood events that host hundreds of community members and passersby who come in search of nutrient dense food or “the best lettuce [they’ve] ever tasted.” During off-season\, we share our harvest in the form of preserved greens\, sauerkraut\, pickles\, and hot sauce.

SUMMARY:StoryHarvest and the Finale of the Spirit of the Suffragettes: Toko Telo and Katani
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our 9th Annual StoryHarvest and the final event the Spirit of the Suffragettes Summer Festival and Community Resource Fair. Just as farmers reap the harvest\, providing sustenance for all\, StoryHarvest is a time to celebrate all our harvests–the results of seeds sown through music\, art\, education\, agriculture\, tolerance\, and everything we do to build strong\, healthy\, tolerant communities. The century-old suffragette message needs to be heard and updated to be made more inclusive. Women\, especially women of color\, still struggle for equity in their everyday lives.  \n\n\n\nWe’ll bring history alive with music\, positioning the suffragettes as radical role models to explore gender imbalance throughout society–from music festivals to single mother households in low-wealth communities. The Spirit of the Suffragettes is an 8-week summer concert series and Women’s Resource Fair celebrating the history of radical historical activists through an updated and more racially/economically inclusive lens. We’re presenting female and gender non-conforming musicians (predominantly women of color) alongside a resource fair highlighting the organizations and opportunities that support women and families in our extremely low-wealth neighborhood.  \n\n\n\nThank you to the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature for making this project possible!
