SUMMARY:Blue Lightning Ghost Train: Inpatient Program 1
DESCRIPTION:@CPR DOUBLE FEATURE\nUnder the Hood: Fiducial Romance by geo blake\nBlue Lightning Ghost Train: Inpatient Program 1 by Kerosene Jones\nCPR – Center for Performance Research\nSaturday\, May 10 at 7:00 PM\nTickets $0-$25\, pay what you can. \nJoin us Saturday\, May 10 for a double feature of new performance works by geo blake and Kerosene Jones presented at CPR – Center for Performance Research\, for the artists’ MFA thesis projects in the Performance and Interactive Media Arts (PIMA) Program at Brooklyn College. Proceeds go to Bluestockings Cooperative\, who will be providing Fentanyl and Xylazine testing strips on-site to attendees. \nThrough an interplay of live performance and mediated fragments\, Under the Hood: Fiducial Romance\, by geo blake featuring Alanna Archibald\, examines the intimacy embedded in economies of care\, trust\, and extraction. Merging movement\, voice\, transducers\, and projected imagery\, and drawing from the iconography of the automobile as both a site of fetishization and labor\, Under the Hood engages with themes of objectification\, autonomy\, and the blurred lines between maintenance and possession. \nBlue Lightning Ghost Train: Inpatient Program 1 by Kerosene Jones is the first phase of an experimental song\, video\, and performance cycle using archival materials to explore queer responses to harm reduction\, particularly in regards to the ongoing opioid crisis\, and drawing from Jones’s personal experiences with opioid addiction. The development of the Blue Lightning Ghost Train series has received support from New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA)\, and a CUNY Social Practice Fellowship\, and features mix engineering by Bassel Al-Rahim. \nTickets can be purchased here!

SUMMARY:Choosing to Remember: Climate Change through Embodied Witnessing and Co-Creating
DESCRIPTION:A participatory assembly led by SPCUNY Fellow and Artist Chloe Smolarski; Tasha Darbes\, ethnographer; and Edge Effect Media Group. \nRemember: the planet is an archive. On April 24th\, join together with people of different experiences as we engage the climate crisis through art\, embodiment\, and conversation. Participants will interact with archival material as interlocutors\, as they observe one another’s stories of climate change effects. \nThis assembly will contribute oral histories to an archive of collective grief\, as we recover the past\, acknowledge the present\, and dream about the future of our climate. Embedded within and inspired by the exhibits “Holding Water” and “When Home Leaves You: Archiving Living Memories of Climate Change\,” our space centers collective grief\, as a way to transcend alienation and imagine responses. \n

Adamo’s MFA thesis exhibition at Queens College on the 4th Floor of Klapper Hall will be open to the public from 4/22 to 4/25\, with the opening reception April 22 from 6pm to 8pm.

SUMMARY:OUR STUDIES SHOW Session 8
DESCRIPTION:ONLINE session \nFREE/NON-MONETARY \n\nLead by SPCUNY alumni Esther Neff of PPL\, OUR STUDIES SHOW stages collective philosophy as a form of theatre. It is a play about/of/at thinking. Considering our inhabitation of our own body-minds as legitimate empirical study (e.g. “instances of human being/thinking”) and our intuitions\, experiences\, and ideas as important philosophical contributions\, we practice complex thought together through a series of in-person gatherings. We (those assembled) dig deeply into metaphysical and conceptual problems. Everyone is welcome. No assumed “knowledge\,” or intellectual “background” needed. The primary task here is simply to compose and perform complex inquiries together. This is not a reading group\, it is (a) “play.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThrough the first three sessions in Fall of 2024\, collective bodies composed the form of an inquiry: \n1) how are “human beings” related to “nature”?\n2) how does what actual embodied persons believe about this question “matter”?\n3) How shall we evaluate “beliefs” on grounds other than whether or not they are “true” or “scientific”?\n\nSpring 2025 sessions will involve “theoretical dramaturgies” (scores for thinking and theorizing together) which re-phrase\, re-frame\, and re-iterate such inquiries\, particularly in relation to “biological” vs. “cultural”  senses of sex and gender\, de-alienation and “settler surrender\,” and the role of doxastic logics (belief systems) in collective self-recognition. \nMasks are required for the in-person session. The space and bathroom are accessible to those using wheelchairs or other mobility aids. ASL interpretation available on request. Please e-mail eneff@gradcenter.cuny.edu with any questions.

SUMMARY:Choreographies of Survival: A Black Feminist Climate Conversation with Tao Leigh Goffe and Emily Raboteau
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for “Choreographies of Survival” a Black feminist climate conversation between two SPCUNY alumni and authors Tao Leigh Goffe and Emily Raboteau who\, although starting from different frameworks\, both shine a light on the intersections of race and the ever-changing contours of climate risk in their new books. Whether it is through countermapping history or narrating the lived experience of Black parenting in an age of racialized pollution and policing\, these books bring forward the myriad ways humans and humanity are rearticulating their relationship to a sociopolitical and environmental climate in perpetual crisis. The conversation will be moderated by Kendra Sullivan (Director of the Center for the Humanities). \nThe event will be followed by a book signing with the authors. Registration required.

SUMMARY:A Fake News Poetry Reading to Mark the 2nd 100 Days
DESCRIPTION:In 2016-17\, SPCUNY alumni Alexandra Juhasz engaged in a daily practice for the first 100 days of a presidency\, blogging about fake news and matters of civic decency\, and as often as not sharing the page with friends and colleagues. That became a website with 100 Hard Truths about Fake News:  For many years after\, Alex ran workshops with poets around the world together thinking about those hard truths and the words of other participants: fakenews-poetry.org. Those poems became a book\, My Phone Lies to Me\, published by @punctum_books (available to download for free). \n15-20 participants in that project (writers\, poets\, teachers\, friends)\, will read old poems from that book. You are invited to come hear poems and there will be time for discussion or the reading of more poems after the one-hour reading. \nIt is good to be together with poetry at this time. The reading will also be recorded as part of punctum’s\, Encounters at the End of the Book series.
