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!

Ancient Folkloric drums intertwine harmoniously with punk rock guitars and swinging Caribbean melodies\, led by the entrancing singer\, Lunise–all combining for a truly magical experience. The band\, which Morse describes as Voudu Rock and Roots\, has consistently gigged at the famed Hotel Oloffson in Port-au-Prince\, Haiti since 1990\, where the performances are known to take on another dimension. People frequently describe a spiritual sensation when describing a RAM concert. You don’t simply go to a RAM concert\, you experience one.

SUMMARY:NATURE Lab Chimera Workshop with Boryana Rossa and Heidi Hehnly
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to participate in a workshop co-led by artist Boryana Rossa and biologist Heidi Hehnly.  Through the lens of an artist scientist collaboration\, this experimental hands on workshop will stimulate conversations from the biological to the ethical — including discussion of genetic predisposition of behavior and policing\, as well as scientific and media representations of the state of genetic research. \n\n\n\nRossa will also present her “Mirror of Faith” bio-art project\, meant to provoke critical public dialogue about genetic research\, exposing some issues this technology and its political and commercial promotion creates. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA message from Boryana and Heidi: \n\n\n\nDuring this workshop\, create your chimera. In this workshop you will collage and create your own imaginary bestiary creature based on genetics as both dream and science.  Speculate on its aesthetic\, metaphorical\, fantastical or utilitarian properties\, its ethical ramifications\, and us. \n\n\n\nBring two or more objects (stuffed and plastic toys\, plants\, but not living animals) that represent these species from which you will create your chimera. For instance an elephant stuffed toy and a lavender plant. During the workshop you will make a collaged chimerical object and write a paragraph description of the use of this chimera or its aesthetics. Any approach is good – playful\, anecdotal or serious. At the end we will make a book with images of the chimeras and their descriptions\, which will resemble an ancient bestiary. During your work we will engage you in complex conversations about genetic modification. \n\n\n\nThis program is FREE and open to all! \n\n\n\nBoryana Rossa is an interdisciplinary artist and curator who works in the fields of electronic arts\, film\, video\, performance and photography. In 2004 together with the Russian artist and film maker Oleg Mavromatti\, Rossa established UTRAFUTURO–an international group of artists engaged with issues of technology\, science and their social implications. Her works have been shown internationally at museums such as the Brooklyn Museum\, NY; Garage Museum of Contemporary Art\, Moscow; Museum of Modern Art MUMOK\, Vienna\, Austria etc. Currently\, Boryana is an Associate Professor in the Transmedia department at Syracuse University. Boryana earned a doctorate degree from the Department of the Arts\, at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 2012. More information can be found on her website. \n\n\n\nProfessor Heidi Hehnly is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology\, at Syracuse University. She holds doctorate degrees from the the University of Iowa\, Iowa City IA (2003-2009) and did her postdoc at University of Massachusetts Medical School\, Worcester Mass (2010-14). Her research interests include understanding the interface between cytoskeletal dynamics and membrane transport and defining how they co-regulate one another to control essential cellular processes such as cell division\, fate\, and polarity. For more information\, visit the website here. \n\n\n\nCo-sponsor: iEAR Presents! (Integrated Electronic Arts at Rensselaer)\, in the School of Humanities\, Arts and Social Sciences\, puts on publicly accessible “performances\, exhibitions\, screenings and lectures dealing with innovative aesthetic\, cultural\, and technical exploration of experimental media and electronic arts.”

SUMMARY:NATURE Lab: Health Autonomy Clinic - Session 1
DESCRIPTION:Health Autonomy Clinic with Dr. Francis Coughlin and JJ Luceno. As part of the Sanctuary for Independent Media’s growing NATURE Lab\, JJ Luceno and Dr. Frank Coughlin are working to establish a central space in Troy to share health skills\, provide basic integrative care and explore ways to build networks of community health. Though caring for our elders\, our children\, or cooking soul-nourishing food for family or friends may not be deemed ‘real’ healthcare\, they know that in fact\, it’s what holds us together and keeps us sane. Let’s bring our skills together to build a space where creative\, joyful health is possible and accessible. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn Tuesday\, November 12th we will be hosting the first in a series of “Health Autonomy Clinics.”  At the core of the clinics will be tangible services and a place to connect. The clinic will include basic first aid materials\, blood pressure and blood sugar screenings. We hope to offer childcare during the hours. We are looking for practitioners that would like to offer skills or interactive demos during the clinics\, as a first step to building a health network in the region. \n\n\n\nThere will be an Open House from 4-5pm and a Community Conversation from 5-6:30pm. From 6:30-8:00\, we’ll roll up our sleeves and develop strategies for our next session.  \n\n\n\nMore about our session leaders: \n\n\n\n\nDr. Frank Coughlin is originally from the Hudson Valley\, but is now living in New Lebanon. He works as an ER physician at Berkshire Medical Center in Pittsfield and Samaritan Hospital in Troy. He helps run the “Health Autonomy at the End of Empire” podcast and is a member of the Lebanon Health Assembly. Coughlin is excited to build on the generations of strong communities in the Capital Region and to foster health autonomy as a liberatory practice. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nJJ Luceno is usually found tight-roping between the plant world and the story universe. She has worked as an educator in many settings: in the woods and urban gardens with children\, in shelters with survivors of domestic violence and facilitating health\, and in sex and puberty education with families. She believes in the undeniable need for liberation medicine and hopes that storytelling and skillsharing can help us reimagine the ways we can care for ourselves and each other. Luceno grew up in the Hudson Valley and now lives in New Lebanon\, NY.

SUMMARY:Riverkeeper Community Scientist Celebration\, with Screening of "Source to Sea"
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we celebrate the 2019 Riverkeeper Water Quality sampling season and the volunteer partners who make it possible to gather samples from the Hudson River Watershed from May through October\, with a focus on those working in the Upper Hudson River and Mohawk Delta. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThere will be a Water Quality Sampler Award\, a presentation\, and a screening of the short film A Living River from National Geographic filmmaker Jon Bowermaster and featuring Dan Shapley. Afterwards\, we will explore how Riverkeeper’s Water Quality Program\, our partners\, and community scientists answer the question\, “How’s the water?” \n\n\n\nThe Riverkeeper Water Quality team and The Sanctuary for Independent Media staff will be on hand to talk about their work. Bring your friends\, family and community members to celebrate the hard work of our Community Scientists and our shared commitment to clean water. \n\n\n\nThis event is FREE and open to all and we will provide some “stone soup” as well! \n\n\n\n\nRiverkeeper was established in 1966 and was first known as the Hudson River Fishermen’s Association when local fishers formed the group to reverse the effects of pollution by factories on the river. They have three missions: “guarding your waterways\, defending clean drinking water\, and finding solutions.” While there have been significant strides to clean the river\, much work is still needed and budget cuts in government funding and climate change are causing these missions to get harder. “Riverkeeper’s vision is of a Hudson teeming with life\, with engaged communities boating\, fishing and swimming throughout its watershed.” They are well on their way. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nTo learn more about Riverkeeper and this event\, listen to this interview done with the organizers. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCo-sponsored by Riverkeeper.

SUMMARY:Hail Satan? with Filmmaker Penny Lane
DESCRIPTION:Join director Penny Lane (Nuts!\, Our Nixon) for a screening of her new documentary Hail Satan?\, a film about The Satanic Temple\, including its origins and grassroots political activism. The film shows Satanists working to preserve the separation of church and state against the perceived privilege of the Christian right. When media-savvy members of the Satanic Temple organize a series of public actions designed to advocate for religious freedom and challenge corrupt authority\, they prove that with little more than a clever idea\, a mischievous sense of humor\, and a few rebellious friends\, you can speak truth to power in some truly profound ways. As charming and funny as it is thought-provoking\, Hail Satan? offers a timely look at a group of often misunderstood outsiders whose unwavering commitment to social and political justice has empowered thousands of people around the worldAfter the film\, there will be a Q&A with filmmaker Penny Lane and Dex Desjardins\, Chapter Head of the Satanic Temple Albany Chapter.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCo-sponsored by iEAR Presents! and the School of Humanities\, Arts and Social Sciences at Rensselaer\, made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M.
