SUMMARY:Be The Dance Party! feat. Rev. Billy & Stop Shopping Choir
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Sanctuary for our second annual Be The Dance Party!\, an event which emphasized spaces for joy and celebration as acts of resistance. This event is part presentation\, part dance party\, this year featuring Reverend Billy and the Stop Shopping Choir\, a radical performance community focused on justice issues.   \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here\n\n\n\n\nBe The Dance Party! begins with a participatory presentation by Reverend Billy and the Stop Shopping Choir inside the Sanctuary main space followed by a march around our North Troy block and a dance party in Freedom Square. This is a family-friendly event. \n\n\n\nThe Reverend Billy character isn’t so much a parody of a preacher\, as a preacher motif used to blur the lines between performance and religious experience. “It’s definitely a church service\,” Talen explained but\, he added\, it’s “a political rally\, it’s theater\, it’s all three\, it’s none of them.” Alisa Solomon\, the theater critic at the Village Voice\, said of Reverend Billy’s persona\, “The collar is fake\, the calling is real.” Along with the Church of Stop Shopping\, they have been referred to by academics as “performance activism\,” “carnivalesque protest\,” and “artivists.” \n\n\n\nThe Stop Shopping Choir is a radical performance community based in New York City\, with members coming to the Choir from many different creative and activist backgrounds. They have evolved a very particular sound and performance experience from the synthesis of our lived experience\, and are grounded in the work of Justice and in service to the Earth. They love to Sing together.

SUMMARY:"River of Grass" Film Screening & Panel
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a film screening of River of Grass\, a documentary film which is described as “An ode to the Florida Everglades\, told through the prescient writings of Marjory Stoneman Douglas\, and those who today call the region home.” This film screening will be followed by a Q&A\, and the filmmakers will also offer a Be The Media! workshop before the screening at 5pm.  \n\n\n\nThis event is a collaboration with the RPI’s iEAR Presents series\, supported by the Department of Arts and the School of Humanities\, Arts\, and Social Sciences\, and is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature. \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here\n\n\n\n\nFilm Synopsis\n\n\n\nRIVER OF GRASS is a present-day reimagining of environmentalist Marjory Stoneman Douglas’s celebrated book\, “The Everglades: River of Grass\,” (1947)\, which forever changed the public’s understanding of the area from worthless swamps to an essential source of freshwater\, enabling the ecosystem to endure\, just barely\, today. In the wake of a hurricane\, Douglas visits filmmaker Sasha Wortzel in a dream\, catalyzing a prismatic journey across the Everglades with Miccosukee educator and activist Betty Osceola. Interweaving Douglas’s writing\, personal narration\, present-day verité\, and archival footage\, RIVER OF GRASS reveals how this country’s origin story haunts and inextricably shapes contemporary American life\, while asking how we might weather coming storms better together. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSasha Wortzel is an award-winning filmmaker and interdisciplinary artist using video\, installation\, sculpture\, and sound to explore how past and present are inextricably linked through resonant spaces and their hauntings. Raised in Southwest Florida and based in New York\, Wortzel specifically attends to sites and stories systematically erased or ignored from these regions’ histories. RIVER OF GRASS (2025) is her first feature documentary. The film won the Pare Lorentz Award from IDA\, Hot Docs Joan VanDuzer Special Jury Prize – International Feature Documentary\, and Mead Audience Award\, among others. The film received institutional support from Sundance\, Ford Foundation\, Sandbox Films\, Knight Foundation\, Doc Society\, Field of Vision\, and Chicken & Egg Pictures.

SUMMARY:“Here Comes the Sun” Book Talk with Bill McKibben
DESCRIPTION:Acclaimed environmentalist Bill McKibben will be at the Sanctuary to share his hope for our future in Here Comes the Sun\, a call to harness the power of the sun and rewrite our scientific\, economic\, and political future. Join us for this book talk\, Q&A\, and book signing with McKibben\, one of the first to sound the alarm about the climate crisis. McKibben will also be our special guest for a fundraiser dinner! This dinner will be an intimate gourmet vegan meal by extraordinary chef Intaba Liff-Anderson. \n\n\n\n\nRegister for Book Talk HERE\n\n\n\nRegister for Fundraiser Dinner & Book Talk HERE\n\n\n\n\nHere Comes the Sun is a book about a last chance for the climate and a fresh chance for civilization by Bill McKibben\, an author\, environmentalist\, and activist. In 1988 he wrote The End of Nature\, the first book for a common audience about global warming. McKibben comes to the Sanctuary for a talk on his latest book\, followed by a Q&A and book sale. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur climate\, and our democracy\, are melting down. But Bill McKibben\, one of the first to sound the alarm about the climate crisis\, insists the moment is also full of possibility. Energy from the sun and wind is suddenly the cheapest power on the planet and growing faster than any energy source in history—if we can keep accelerating the pace\, we have a chance. \n\n\n\nHere Comes the Sun tells the story of the sudden spike in power from the sun and wind—and the desperate fight of the fossil fuel industry and their politicians to hold this new power at bay. From the everyday citizens who installed solar panels equal to a third of Pakistan’s electric grid in a year to the world’s sixth-largest economy—California—nearly halving its use of natural gas in the last two years\, Bill McKibben traces the arrival of plentiful\, inexpensive solar energy. And he shows how solar power is more than just a path out of the climate crisis: it is a chance to reorder the world on saner and more humane grounds. You can’t hoard solar energy or hold it in reserves—it’s available to all. \n\n\n\nThere’s no guarantee we can make this change in time\, but there is a hope—in McKibben’s eyes\, our best hope for a new civilization: one that looks up to the sun\, every day\, as the star that fuels our world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBill McKibben is founder of Third Act\, which organizes people over the age of 60 for action on climate and justice. \n\n\n\nHis 1989 book The End of Nature is regarded as the first book for a general audience about climate change\, and has appeared in 24 languages. He’s gone on to write 20 books\, and his work appears regularly in periodicals from the New Yorker to Rolling Stone. He serves as the Schumann Distinguished Scholar in Environmental Studies at Middlebury College\, as a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, and he has won the Gandhi Peace Prize as well as honorary degrees from 20 colleges and universities. He was awarded the Right Livelihood Award\, sometimes called the alternative Nobel\, in the Swedish Parliament. Foreign Policy named him to its inaugural list of the world’s 100 most important global thinkers. \n\n\n\nMcKibben helped found 350.org\, the first global grassroots climate campaign\, which has organized protests on every continent\, including Antarctica\, for climate action. He played a leading role in launching the opposition to big oil pipeline projects like Keystone XL\, and the fossil fuel divestment campaign\, which has become the biggest anti-corporate campaign in history\, with endowments worth more than $40 trillion stepping back from oil\, gas and coal. He stepped down as board chair of 350 in 2015\, and left the board and stepped down from his volunteer role as senior adviser in 2020\, accepting emeritus status. He lives in the mountains above Lake Champlain with his wife\, the writer Sue Halpern\, where he spends as much time as possible outdoors. In 2014\, biologists credited his career by naming a new species of woodland gnat—Megophthalmidia mckibbeni–in his honor.

SUMMARY:Frederick Douglass and the Power of the Black Archives
DESCRIPTION:A community reading of “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July” and collecting for the Black Experience in the Adirondacks\n\n\n\nJoin us in creating Black history archives in a community reading\, discussion\, and collection. Together we will collectively read Frederick Douglass’ What to the Slave is the Fourth of July before a conversation on storytelling and the importance of recorded Black history\, featuring speakers from the Underground Railroad Education Center and the Adirondack Experience museum. You will also have the opportunity to contribute memorabilia to the soon-to-be permanent exhibition The Black Experience in the Adirondacks at the Adirondack Experience museum. There will be a hybrid event on February 18 to give insight into the collection in Gathering Stories: Black Experiences in the Adirondacks. \n\n\n\n\n\nFrederick Douglass’ legacy demonstrates the importance of archives. Using speeches\, photography\, and print media\, this man who was born into slavery became one of the most important figures in Black history. Douglass gave speaking tours\, was the most photographed man in America during the 19th century\, and wrote books and published The North Star press. We know so much about him and his experience because of his archive\, and participants will leave a legacy of their own with archive opportunities during this event.  \n\n\n\nAttendees will collectively read Frederick Douglass’ abolitionist speech “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July” (which will be recorded and archived in audio and video form followed by a panel discussion which will include the Underground Railroad Education Center as well as Charles Clark III\, the Project Curator for the exhibition The Black Experience in the Adirondacks. The community will then have the opportunity to contribute memorability connected to the Black experience in the Adirondacks to an upcoming exhibition. \n\n\n\n\n\nA portrait of Frederick Douglass created in 1879\n\n\n\n\n\nFeaturing: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLacey Wilson\, Teen Museum Studies Program Manager of Underground Railroad Education CenterLacey was born in Washington DC and has spent 10 years in public history\, leading tours\, managing sites\, and engaging with oral histories and local communities. Today\, she plans and implements a museum studies program for teenagers at the Underground Railroad Education Center in addition to sitting on the advocacy and nominations committees with the National Council of Public History. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPaul & Mary Liz Stewart\, Co-Founders of Underground Railroad Education Center (UREC)UREC is a non-profit organization which grew out of a research project on the Underground Railroad in the Capital Region by Paul and Mary Liz Stewart. Their work uncovered the voices and stories of people written out of this history. Together\, these voices provide a different accounting of Underground Railroad activism and change the American narrative. \n\n\n\n\n\nSince its incorporation in 2003\, Underground Railroad Education Center has created a strong program of education and research that celebrates and preserves the story of the Underground Railroad in Albany and the Capital Region and its relationship with us today. URHPCR has identified the key primary and secondary figures and their activities\, and has developed a general outline of the local history of the movement. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCharles Clark III\, curator of The Black Experience in the Adirondacks  Charles employs a Pan-Africanist methodology\, enriched by material cultural approach\, to transform exhibition making in museums. His work addresses ethno cultural erasure and brings to light marginalized narratives within art history. His approach not only enhances the representation of diverse voices but also redefines the role of museums as spaces for critical dialogue and cultural exploration. \n\n\n\n\n\nIn 2027\, the Adirondack Experience\, the Museum on Blue Mountain Lake\, will open The Black Experience in the Adirondacks\, a new permanent\, interactive exhibition. This exhibition will comprehensively explore the history of Black people in the region\, from their important and well-documented role in the settlement and development of the Adirondacks to current efforts ensuring an inclusive community and enriching the region’s recreational opportunities.

SUMMARY:Seed Swap at Healing Day
DESCRIPTION:Join Collard City Growers for our annual seed swap to start building towards spring awakening and growth. Bring seeds to share if you have them\, or just come to take some home! This year’s seed swap will take place alongside the People’s Health Sanctuary monthly Healing Day at the Sanctuary main space\, and will feature a table by Soul Fire Farm\, who will bring seeds and knowledge to share! \n\n\n\nHave you ever saved seeds from your garden to plant again? Maybe you’ve purchased seeds in the past\, but didn’t use them all\, and are ready to pass them on? Just curious about seeds? Join us! There’s no need to bring seeds or have any knowledge of seed-keeping to attend–you can also join for company\, conversation\, and learning! We’ll have food to enjoy together\, a kiddo corner\, and various healing modalities available by donation thanks to the People’s Health Sanctuary. We’re also excited to host a table by Soul Fire Farm\, whose seed saving program you can read about below! \n\n\n\nSeed Keeping at Soul Fire Farm\n\n\n\n“At Soul Fire Farm\, we grow dozens of native crops alongside culturally significant crops from African\, Indigenous\, and Palestinian lineages. Joining a global movement of land workers and Indigenous peoples working to defend seed sovereignty against an increasingly monopolized and homogenized seed industry\, we save 8-10 seed varieties annually for distribution through the Truelove Seeds and Ujamaa Seeds catalogues. Grounded in an understanding of seeds as inextricably linked with their heritages and histories\, we engage with seedkeeping not only as ecological preservation\, but also cultural and political work. Join Soul Fire farmers Danielle and Winter to learn more about our 2026 programs and how you can save seeds at home.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDanielle Peláez\, (they/she || elle/ella)\, Farm Education Manager at Soul Fire Farm is a queer farmer\, educator\, and land tender. A lover of plantitas\, fungi\, human and non-human beings\, Danielle dreams of serving her community through facilitating (re)connection to the soil\, drawing on her roots in the western highlands of Guatemala. As the Farm Education Manager\, Dani co-creates and co-leads earth-based educational offerings.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWinter Exley (he/they)\, Farm Assistant at Soul Fire Farm\, was born with a passionate love for the world and the peoples in it\, so tending to the earth was instinctive. He grew up on his grandmother’s land where they woke when the roosters called and spent the days picking crabapples\, collecting water from the spring\, and exploring the woods. Winter continues to deepen his love for the trees and relationship with the woods as he tends land at Soul Fire.

As U.S. Coordinator for One Billion Rising and Board Chair of Soul Fire Farm\, Taína’s artistic and activist work sits at the intersection of racial\, gender\, food\, and climate justice. Her Resiliencia album embodies this mission\, drawing from interviews with women of color across the U.S.\, Canada\, and Puerto Rico—stories of resilience in the face of cancer\, hurricanes\, migration\, and sexual violence. This project extended into an award-winning documentary series\, offering a powerful musical and visual exploration of these lived experiences. Additionally\, during her residency with the Social Justice Portal Project\, Asili created The Justice Suite\, a multimedia trilogy of music and video interventions addressing abolition\, climate justice\, and economic democracy.  \n\n\n\nFever Pitch\, Asili’s latest interdisciplinary production\, unites decades of her original work into a one-hour spectacle designed to ignite climate justice action on local\, national\, and global scales. Collaborating with choreographer Gregory Theodore Marsh and dancer/vocalists Eliane Rowe and Hettie Barnhill\, she has crafted a mesmerizing fusion of live music and movement. Media artist Joseph Amodei adds another layer of depth with stunning projections featuring footage from Asili’s award-winning documentaries and music videos. The result is a breathtaking tapestry of sound\, movement\, and imagery that demands our attention and stirs our collective imagination.

SUMMARY:“Turn the Light Around” 16mm Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Join us for screenings of 16mm plant processed performance films\, presented by Katherine Bauer and Joyce Lainé\, members of the film collective Le Ratoire and Atelier MTK. The images in each film emerge before our eyes through the process of a developer composed of plants\, ashes\, and water. The sun gives to the plants\, the plants give to the silver\, the silver turns the light around\, to give to our eyes. The screening will be followed by a Q&A. This event is co-sponsored by iEar Presents! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this screening\, plants are collaborators in both the subject and the material revelation of the visual story. Plant is the Place. The action of creating these films are themselves performative relationships with the surroundings\, the projection expanding this vision for yet more eyes to see. \n\n\n\nPlant Processing is a collective action— particularly with the methods of Le Ratoire’s performative folk film-making style\, but also with the methodologies of collective making and restraints employed by La Ratoire’s “Asphalt Splendor.” For this film\, the group will set out to make a portrait of “the river that flows both ways\,” or Mahicannittuk in Machican (aka The Hudson River)\, canoeing and camping from Troy to worlds end\, plant processing all along the way with the different plants growing on the shores. \n\n\n\n“Bat Nut\,” is a poetic video document of friends gathering together to clear the locally loved Beaver Pond in Chatham\, NY of the thorny Bat Nut. Other videos will show an exploration of a closed tungsten mine from WWII in Portugal\, processed with the industrially farmed Eucalyptus\, and a turn around a temple outside of Guadalajara\, Mexico which was processed with beer and sage from their surroundings\, and a film stained red from being processed with a certain seaweed\, and more! \n\n\n\nAlternative Film Processing Workshop with Le Ratoire\, 2-6pm\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLe Ratoire is a filmmaking collective; since 2019\, composed of Léa Lanoë\, Pierre Borel (Labo L’argent\, Marseille\, France)\, Katherine Bauer\, Joyce Lainé\, and Loïc Verdillon (Atelier MTK\, Grenoble\, France). They have elaborated a methodology for collective filmmaking wherein all aspects and stages of the film are made in a single go. Beginning with a constraint (a place\, a theme\, a technical method)\, embrace the unplanned that emerges within the process; the unexpected “failures” that inevitably occur are as important as the constraints that first inspired the process.  The name “Le Ratoire” refers to the verb in French\, rater\, that means “to miss\, fail\, or flunk” and laboratoire\, indicating the analog hand-made laboratory practices employed. Also the idea of a ratery or site for the “lab rat”; in this case we are the rats running tests on ourselves. \n\n\n\nATELIER MTK\, founded in 1992 is the first collective film lab of France. It is an artist-run cinematographic laboratory equipped to work in all aspects of analogue films.  The lab should be considered like a playground. Tools and techniques of the film medium are re-appropriated from the industrial film laboratories in order to encourage filmmakers to consider every element as a phase with creative potential. https://www.filmlabs.org/labs/mtk/.

SUMMARY:Image Processing with Plants Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a workshop focused on alternative ways to develop images. Participants will use plant-based materials to develop photograms with Le Ratoire\, a French group of artists. This workshop will span a few hours and is co-sponsored by iEar Presents! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this workshop\, Le Ratoire artist collective will work with participants to learn how to make a black & white film/photo developer using just local plants\, ashes\, and water– no industrial products\, nothing from the store! We will go over the techniques of photograms (also known as rayograms) and phytography\, two ways of exposing and making images on photo paper without needing to use a camera. We will explain how to choose\, harvest\, and process the plants for the making of a developer\, exploring the properties of the plants that can develop the silver halides in photo emulsion (the same process works for all photo sensitive materials; film and paper). \n\n\n\nParticipants will be able to go home with their images and are welcome to stay for a communal meal ahead of the film screening. \n\n\n\nLe Ratoire 16mm Film Screening\, 7pm\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLe Ratoire\, a name that in French hints at both the words “lab” and “failure\,” is a group of artists coming together with the proposition of making a movie from start to finish almost as a single act\, as a joint organism\, often with any materials they have at their disposal\, and in extremely little time. About their methodology for filmmaking the artists explain: “each film is defined by a particular set of parameters; both technical and\, especially\, situational.”

SUMMARY:"Heightened Scrutiny" Screening & Q&A
DESCRIPTION:Heightened Scrutiny is a documentary film about the first out trans attorney arguing in front of the US Supreme Court (United States v. Skrmetti) and the role of mainstream media in fueling anti-trans legislation. The film’s director\, Sam Feder\, will be presenting this film at the Sanctuary followed by a Q&A. Ahead of the film\, Feder will be offering a Be The Media! workshop from 5-6pm. \n\n\n\nThis event is a collaboration with the RPI’s iEAR Presents series\, supported by the Department of Arts and the School of Humanities\, Arts\, and Social Sciences\, and is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHeightened Scrutiny follows Chase Strangio\, ACLU attorney and the first out trans person to argue before the Supreme Court\, as he fights a high-stakes legal battle to overturn Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth (United States v. Skrmetti). \n\n\n\nThe film exposes the dangerous role of mainstream media in fueling anti-trans legislation\, uncovering how biased coverage drives hate\, endangers lives\, and threatens democracy itself. With insights from journalists like Jelani Cobb\, Lydia Polgreen\, and Gina Chua\, and activists like Laverne Cox\, the story dismantles anti-trans disinformation and highlights its devastating real-world impact. \n\n\n\nAs SCOTUS prepares to rule on the case\, HEIGHTENED SCRUTINY reveals the fight for bodily autonomy as a fight for the soul of democracy\, offering a powerful call to action against bigotry and injustice. website
