SUMMARY:NATURE Lab Workshop with Maria Michails: Air Quality [CANCELED/COVID]
DESCRIPTION:Due to COVID rates and concern for community safety\, this event has been CANCELED.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAir pollution is one of the more pervasive and invisible environmental health hazards of cities and has been in the public consciousness for several decades. The World Health Organization estimates that approximately 3.4 million people globally die prematurely as a result of outdoor air pollution each year. In the US a 2019 study\, contradicting previous EPA reports\, found that “more than 100\,000 Americans each year die of heart attacks\, strokes and other illnesses caused by air pollution spewed from factories\, motor vehicles and even bucolic-seeming farmland.”  \n\n\n\nAir pollution is not just an urban problem. Contributing to poor air quality in rural regions are activities such as fossil fuel extraction\, mining\, and large-scale commercial farming operations\, affecting small towns and farming communities. When government air monitoring doesn’t lead to regulatory enforcement of polluters\, how can the public protect themselves? In this workshop we will learn about the different types of air pollutants that may be in the air at any given time in our immediate area\, from particulates to gases. Maria Michails will also demonstrate several do-it-yourself approaches and devices that can monitor one’s immediate air quality and monitoring spikes and patterns over time. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Maria Michails:\n\n\n\nMaria Michails is a Canadian artist whose art installations and community-based projects are at the nexus of art\, science and technology. She has exhibited throughout North America and Europe and has published essays and articles in journals and edited volumes. Her art projects have been featured in Scientific American\, The Alt\, the Albany Times Union\, as well as books and catalogues. She is currently a PhD candidate and SSRHC doctoral fellow in Electronic Arts at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy\, New York\, where she has developed a series of community-based air monitoring projects with community participants in Albany\, NY and in the oil fields of southeastern Saskatchewan.

SUMMARY:Be The Media! Workshop With Patty Zimmerman: Documentary Across Platforms - Reverse Engineering Media\, Place and Politics  [CANCELED/COVID]
DESCRIPTION:Due to COVID rates and concern for community safety\, this event has been CANCELED.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn Documentary Across Platforms\, noted scholar of film and experimental mediaPatricia R. Zimmermann offers a glimpse into the ever-evolving constellation of practices known as “documentary” and the way in which they investigate\, engage with\, and interrogate the world. Collected here for the first time are her celebrated essays and speculations about documentary\, experimental\, and new media published outside of traditional scholarly venues. These essays envision documentary as a complex ecology composed of different technologies\, sets of practices\, and specific relationships to communities\, engagement\, politics\, and social struggles. Through the lens of reverse engineering―the concept that ideas just like objects can be disassembled to learn how they work and then rebuilt into something new and better―Zimmermann explores how numerous small-scale documentary works present strategies of intervention into existing power structures. Adaptive to their context\, modular\, and unfixed\, the documentary practices she explores exploit both sophisticated high-end professional and consumer-grade amateur technologies\, moving through different political terrains\, different platforms\, and different exhibition contexts. Together these essays demonstrate documentary’s role as a conceptual practice to think through how the world is organized and to imagine ways that it might be reorganized with actions\, communities\, and ideas.

SUMMARY:Jana Herzen’s Nothing But Love\, Featuring Charnett Moffett [CANCELED/COVID]
DESCRIPTION:Due to COVID rates and concern for community safety\, this event has been CANCELED.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn Nothing But Love\, her soulful and timeless song-cycle of folk\, pop\, world\, blues\, reggae\, and jazz-tinged originals\, singer-songwriter Jana Herzen (who happens also to head up the Multi-GRAMMY®- winning Motéma label\,) reaches new heights as a musical storyteller\, composer\, and guitarist.  Supported by an ace band led by world-renowned jazz bassist Charnett Moffett\,  Herzen’s poetic groove-solid songs surprise at each turn as they juxtapose isolation\, loss\, and melancholy\, alongside eye-winking fun\, romantic abandon and deep soul redemption.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Concert:\n\n\n\nHerzen will perform at The Jazz Sanctuary with bassist Charnett Moffett (co-producer of her album) and drummer Corey Garcia.

SUMMARY:Health Autonomy Clinic: Mask-Making Networks and How to Make a Mask
DESCRIPTION:Join the Health Autonomy Network to find out about local mutual aid networks making masks\, and learn how to make your own. [REMEMBER the use of a mask is NOT a substitute for keeping a distance of 6 feet from other people whenever possible.] This zoom workshop is led by Eileen J. Raab\, with the New Lebanon Health Assembly and  “Community Care Planning\,” a mutual aid organization based in Columbia County\, NY. Of all the failings of the US capitalist model of healthcare that have developed in the Covid Pandemic\, none is perhaps as well-known and despicable as the shortage of masks.  Across the country\, states and hospitals are scrambling to purchase masks and PPE (personal protective equipment).  Because of a lack of preparation and a business model that does not plan for emergencies\, this most essential of items is in critical shortage\, leaving healthcare workers\, grocery workers\, food workers\, sanitation workers\, and millions of other frontline people without this protection. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Workshop:\n\n\n\nAt the same time as the governments fail us\, local communities are self-organizing their own response.  In what started as an individual action\, the DIY Mask Making movement has blossomed as people across the country scramble to assess needs\, compile resources\, hand sew masks\, build distribution networks\, and find ways to protect the frontline workers they love.   \n\n\n\nWe have partnered with New Lebanon Health Assembly and  “Community Care Planning”\, a mutual aid organization based in Columbia County\, NY for this Zoom workshop.  Eileen J. Raab\, a nurse and lifetime local to the area will teach you how to make your own mask as well as introduce you to the mutual aid networks that have resulted from the demand.  A HUGE thank you to Eileen and these groups for your care and energy! \n\n\n\nThe information included in this workshop is adapted from the CDC’s best practices to prevent the spread of disease. The pattern is based on the pattern from The Turban Project\, which is the mask the majority of hospitals across the country are accepting.  \n\n\n\nIf you would like to make a mask with Eileen\, please follow LHA COVID-19 Tutorial- How to make a fabric mask for patterns and check out the list of needed items: \n\n\n\nTightly woven 100% cotton fabricFilter material\, such as non woven interfacing or home air filter materialAt least 14″ of 1/8-1/4″ braided elasticScissors\, pins\, a ruler and a sewing machine\n\n\n\nThe information included in this workshop is adapted from the CDC’s best practices to prevent the spread of disease. The pattern is based on the pattern from The Turban Project\, which is the mask the majority of hospitals across the country are accepting.  \n\n\n\nAbout Eileen Raab\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEileen Raab is a local nurse\, lifelong local to the area\, mother and much more. She organizes with Lebanon Health Assembly and the mutual aid group\, Community Care Planning.

SUMMARY:Louis Massiah and Patricia Zimmerman Present "We Tell" 50 Years of Participatory Community Media: Environments of Race and Place   [CANCELED/COVID]
DESCRIPTION:Due to COVID rates and concern for community safety\, this event has been CANCELED.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEnvironments of Race and Place zeroes in on issues surrounding immigration\, migration\, and racial identities unique to specific environments. These works embrace and amplify the micro rather than the macro in scope. They move from the national to the hyperlocal\, advocating that understanding conflicts and contradictions can lead to change. Discussions of police brutality in Third World Newsreel’s Black Panther a.k.a. Off the Pig or animations about toxic pollution made by the Indigenous youth media collective\, Outta Your Backpack\, expand conceptualizations of the range of participatory community media and the varieties of forms environmental media inhabits.  \n\n\n\nWe will be screening a program consisting of six films: Black Panther a.k.a. Off the Pig (Newsreel #19)\, Black Women\, Sexual Politics and the Revolution\, Who I Became\, Legend of the Weresheep\, Stories of TRUST: Calling for Climate Recovery: TRUST Alaska\, and Digital Smoke Signals: Aerial Footage from the Night of November 20\, 2016 at Standing Rock.  \n\n\n\nCo-sponsored by iEAR Presents!…

SUMMARY:Be The Media! Workshop with Master Documentary Filmmaker Patricio Guzmán
DESCRIPTION:In addition to our virtual screening of The Cordillera of Dreams we presented a Be The Media!  workshop featuring a talk and Q&A with filmmaker Patricio Guzmán live from Paris on Friday\, May 22\, 2020.  Local filmmaker Daniel Mosquera\, professor of Hispanic and Latin American & Caribbean Studies at Union College\, provided simultaneous translation.   \n\n\n\nThis event and screening is co-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. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Patricio Guzmán:\n\n\n\nFrom The Battle of Chile\, filmed in black and white\, on 16mm film\, in the midst of social upheaval and revolution\, to Nostalgia for the Light\, filmed with modern digital technology\, filled with vibrant colors\, poetic connections and introspection\, Guzmán’s epic body of work is the unprecedented record of one country’s journey and one filmmaker’s evolution. \n\n\n\nBorn in Santiago de Chile in 1941\, Patricio Guzmán is one of the leading documentary filmmakers in the world. He studied filmmaking at the Film Institute at the Catholic University of Chile\, and at the Official School of Film in Madrid. \n\n\n\nAfter the 1973 Chilean coup Guzmán left the country and has lived in Cuba\, Spain and France\, where he currently resides. Six of his films have premiered at the Cannes Film Festival\, including The Battle of Chile\, The Pinochet Case\, Salvador Allende\, Nostalgia for the Light\, for which he received the Grand Award from the European Film Academy in 2011. \n\n\n\nGuzmán’s The Battle of Chile remains one of the most widely praised documentary films of all time\, and was named “one of the 10 best political documentary films in the world” by Cineaste. His films have been extensively screened worldwide and he’s been the subject of numerous film retrospectives\, most recently at the British Film Institute\, Harvard Film Archive\, and BAMcinématek. In 2013\, he was invited to join the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences\, and last February he was awarded with the Silver Bear for Best Screenplay at the Berlinale for The Pearl Button\, his most recent production (which is due to open theatrically in the US this fall). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBe The Media! workshops teach multimedia skills to community members in order to develop urgently needed independent local voices. Our goal is to empower the public through independent media making\, supplying them with the tools to tell their own stories through different mediums of media including video\, radio and journalism.
