SUMMARY:Art and Incarceration: Poetry\, Theatre and Music in and about Captivity
DESCRIPTION:Concert\, Ensemble Pi\nFor this interdisciplinary performance\, Ensemble Pi presents music\, text\, and theater works that focus on the rise of mass incarceration\, the racial disparities it reveals\, and the emotional toll it takes on inmates and their families. The concert opens with Rzewski’s minimalist masterpiece\, Coming Together\, composed in the wake of the 1971 prison riots in upstate New York and powerfully expressing the frustration of life behind bars and anger about injustice. The evening’s highlight is the world premiere of Rikers Islandby New York composer Eleanor Cory\, inspired by the anthology These Are Hard Times for Dreamers. Joseph Assadourian\, the narrator for Coming Together\, will also perform an excerpt from his tragi-comic play\, The Bullpen\, based on his own incarceration. The performance closes with the sublime Olivier Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time (1941)\, composed and performed in the prisoner-of-war camp in Gorlitz\, Germany\, capturing the hardship and sadness of being in prison\, while still conveying optimism. \nAbout the presenters:\nEnsemble Pi is a new music collective that uniquely connects pressing social and political issues and the idioms of classical contemporary music. We began our Peace Concerts series 10 years ago in response to the invasion of Iraq\, and have since presented annual chamber music concerts giving voice to the struggle for peace. Every concert includes at least one commission\, as well as contemporary classical masterpieces to address the historical tradition of “socially conscious” compositions. In the past\, we’ve collaborated with visual artists\, writers\, journalists and actors – including South African artist William Kentridge and American journalists Naomi Wolf and Jeremy Scahill – and have featured the music of John Harbison\, Frederic Rzewski\, Shostakovich and Penderecki. Our series has voiced protest against the Iraqi invasion\, but also the censorship of media\, fracking\, the Apartheid\, and more. Performers include: Alexis Gerlach\, cello; Moran Katz\, clarinet; Idith Meshulam Korman\, piano; Airi Yoshioka\, violin; and Joseph Assadourian\, actor and narrator.

SUMMARY:Connections between People & Nature: Biodiversity
DESCRIPTION:Sunday Evening Conversations on Creation Continue…  \nChrist the King Evangelical Lutheran Church invites you to attend Sunday Evening Conversations on Creation\, an environmental education web meeting series whose theme in 2017 is Connections between People and Nature. \nAt the September web meeting\, we welcome Professor Kerri Crawford\, Assistant Professor of Biology & Biochemistry at the University of Houston. In her presentation\, Dr. Crawford will discuss global threats to biodiversity and why we should care\, including how biodiversity influences natural systems and provides ecosystem services that we rely on.  She will present examples from her own work\, such as experiments that tested how plant diversity influences restoration outcomes in coastal ecosystems and how soil microbes influence plant community diversity.  Finally\, she will speculate on key scientific questions that need to be answered to understand how ecological communities will change in the future and help mitigate the negative consequences of these changes. After Professor Crawford’s talk\, there will be time for Q&A. If you would like to join this online conversation\, please register and you will receive an invitation to the web meeting. For more information\, contact Lisa Brenskelle at gcs.lrc@gmail.com. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Houston Anarchist Book Fair
DESCRIPTION:Announcing the 2017 Houston Anarchist Bookfair! On Sunday September 24\, 2017\, Houston Anarchist Black Cross will host a one-day convergence to network\, grow\, and celebrate anarchist and anti-authoritarian projects in Texas and the surrounding region. Join us for books\, workshops\, and discussion to celebrate and expand our southern radical communities of resistance! \nWe welcome proposals for workshops\, panels\, film screenings and the like\, and especially encourage people from Texas\, neighboring states\, and the south and southwest/la frontera generally to submit proposals. Proposals are due August 1 and can be submitted on the form at http://www.houstonanarchistbookfair2017.wordpress.com \nWe will also have opportunities for publishers\, distros\, bookstores and others to table. If you’d like to volunteer\, get in touch with us at htxanarchistbookfair2017@gmail.com and tell us a little bit about yourself and what aspect you’re interested in helping with. \nThe event is free\, with no registration required. We are committed to making this a safe\, welcoming space for all people who are genuinely interested in the Anarchist Bookfair\, including gender diverse folks\, people with disabilities\, parents\, children\, femmes\, women and people of color. If you experience harassment\, abuse\, assault\, or any other kind of violation during the book fair\, or if someone who has engaged in such behavior in the past is adversely affecting your participation at the book fair\, or if you need support for any other reason\, please do reach out to us at htxanarchistbookfair2017@gmail.com. \nFAQ \nQ: Can I participate if I am not an anarchist?  \nA: Absolutely! Whether you are a communist or other type of radical looking to network with like-minded people\, or simply curious to learn more about anarchism and radical projects going on in Houston and the region\, we want to welcome everyone who is genuine in their interest in the bookfair. On the other hand\, fascists\, cops\, trolls\, and others who only wish to subvert the purpose of the book fair are most decidedly not welcome. \nQ: What is anarchism anyway? \nA: We’re sure that every anarchist at the bookfair would offer a different\, and at times divergent\, definition of anarchism. But here’s one quick definition! \nAnarchism is a set of revolutionary political ideas which seek a fundamental transformation of society toward expansive visions of individual and social freedom. Within this is a comprehensive critique and rejection of all forms of hierarchy and structured relationships of domination–including the State\, capitalism\, white supremacy\, patriarchy and hetero-sexism–as well as visions of a free society built on human freedom\, equality\, solidarity\, and mutual aid. \nQ: Why a book fair?  \nA: Anarchists around the world have long organized bookfairs as spaces to gather\, share ideas\, and network. In the age of e-readers and digital\, online organizing\, the idea of a bookfair may sound anachronistic. But we believe that much of the power that our political movements have and can build grows out of the relationships we have with one another–as individuals\, organizations\, and communities. And when it comes to building relationships\, there is really no substitute for face to face interaction\, sharing space\, and learning and working together. We hope to facilitate that with the workshops\, presentations\, and discussions that are being planned\, and the space that we create. There will also certainly be plenty of books\, pamphlets\, t-shirts\, and stickers available! As the late Texas-born anarchist Lucy Parsons said\, “Anarchists know that a long period of education must precede any great fundamental change in society\, hence they do not believe in vote begging\, nor political campaigns\, but rather in the development of self-thinking individuals.” \nQ: Why now? \nA: The United States has long been a terrifying landscape for many across the world–a white-supremacist\, settler-colonialist\, capitalist\, hetero-patriarchy. The rise of the Trump regime and the grassroots fascist right has stripped away much of the old window dressing and intensified the myriad attacks on people of color\, women\, poor people\, queer and trans people\, Muslims and Jews\, migrants\, and others. Millions want to begin fighting back or redouble their efforts. \nThose who are newer to the resistance might be looking to get plugged in\, learn new skills\, and sharpen their analysis. Those who have been in the game for a minute might be looking to find new inspiration\, new camaraderie\, new creativity\, and fresh perspective. All of us are looking for ways to move forward together in dark times. Our gatherings are more important now than ever. \nQ: Why Houston? \nA: Texas\, and especially Houston\, has a well-earned reputation for being the epicenter of the U.S. petrochemical industry\, the locus of reactionary political movements that were laughed at until they came to power\, and the home state of several war criminal presidents. Usually thought of as backward or irredeemable rather than hip\, radical\, or enlightened\, the whole region is often overlooked by much of the U.S. left that is concentrated on either coast. \nBut there is–and always has been–resistance here too: from the Black soldiers at Fort Logan who went to war against the police and Jim Crowe in 1917\, to the neighborhood that rebelled in 1977 when the cops who murdered Joe Campos Torres got off with a $1 fine; from hosting the first National Chicana Conference in 1971\, to hosting the National Women’s Conference (and the radical feminist protests outside of it!) in 1977; from direct actions against war profiteer Halliburton and logging company Maxxam in 2004-05 to resistance to the Tar Sands blockade against the Keystone XL pipeline a couple years ago; from the 2003 Radical Encuentro Camp to the 2011 Houston Anarchist Bookfair. Resistance in the belly of the beast has always been strong! \nTrue\, Houston has never had as large of a radical community as some places\, nor as many resources. But we’ve always forged ahead with the utmost spirit\, creativity\, and tenacity. In this tradition\, we are proud to welcome anarchists and other radicals from across the region to the 2017 Houston Anarchist Bookfair!

SUMMARY:Repair Cafe
DESCRIPTION:What is a Repair Cafe?\nOur society revolves around consumption. Personal consumption of durable goods add up to 8% of GDP\, and non-durable goods add up to 15%\, totaling about $4 trillion dollars annually in the USA! The more we buy\, the more we throw away\, often during the first year! And… most people no longer know how to repair things. \nA Repair Cafe celebrates fixing through a fun\, collaborative\, hands-on\, fix-n-learn\, community-based discovery and disassembly. People bring us their broken\, non-functioning things — small electronics and appliances\, toys\, bicycles\, clothing\, jewelry\, etc.– for assessment\, disassembly\, and — hopefully — repair. \nShare your ideas — Give your stuff a longer life — Fixing is good — Make it a way of life!

SUMMARY:A Dialogue About Tears We Cannot Stop
DESCRIPTION:Working as a white ally against racism is hard but not impossible.  One thing that doesn’t help the cause is saying “I don’t see color.”  The failure to see color only benefits white America.  A world without color is a world without racial debt.  Rather\, the most radical action a white person can take is to acknowledge privilege\, to admit that in the institutional and deep psychological structures of the United States\, the underlying assumption is that white lives are worth more than black lives. \nHelp the Center for the Healing of Racism develop better allies by participating in a dialogue about the book Tears We Cannot Stop: A Sermon to White America by Michael Eric Dyson.  Dr. Dyson is a Professor of Sociology at Georgetown University\, an ordained minister\, author of 20 books\, a writer for the New York Times\, and an editor for both The New Republic and ESPN’s The Undefeated Ebony.\n\nPlease join us on Tuesday\, August 29\, 2017 from noon to 2:00 pm -or- Wednesday\, August 30\, 2017 from 6:30 to 8:30 pm.  The events will take place at 3412 Crawford Street (corner of Holman)\, Houston\, TX 77004.  The events are free and open to the public but registration is required. Contributions are appreciated.  RSVP cfhr1@juno.com or 713-520-8226.  Free parking is available in HCC Lot 9\, across the street from our office.\n \nhttp://www.centerhealingracism.org/

SUMMARY:Hannah Arendt movie "the Banality of evil"
DESCRIPTION:Hannah Arendt is a 2012 German-Luxembourgish-French biographical drama film directed by Margarethe von Trotta and starring Barbara Sukowa. The film centers in the life of German-Jewish philosopher and political theorist Hannah Arendt.[3] It is distributed by Zeitgeist Films in the United States\, where it opened theatrically on 29 May 2013.[4][5] \nGerman director von Trotta’s film centers on Arendt’s response to the 1961 trial of ex-Nazi Adolf Eichmann\, which she covered for The New Yorker. Her writing on the trial became controversial for its depiction of both Eichmann and the Jewish councils\, and for its introduction of Arendt’s now-famous concept of “the banality of evil“.

SUMMARY:On The Beach (1959 Movie)
DESCRIPTION:On the Beach is a 1959 American post-apocalyptic science fiction drama film from United Artists\, produced and directed by Stanley Kramer\, that stars Gregory Peck\, Ava Gardner\, Fred Astaire and Anthony Perkins.[2] This black-and-white film is based on Nevil Shute‘s 1957 novel of the same name depicting the aftermath of a nuclear war.[3] Unlike the novel\, no blame is placed on whoever started the war; it is hinted in the film that the threat of annihilation may have arisen from an accident or misjudgment. \nIn early 1964\, in the months following World War III\, the conflict has devastated the Northern Hemisphere\, polluting the atmosphere with nuclear fallout\, killing all life there. Air currents are slowly carrying the fallout south; the only areas still habitable are in the far reaches of the Southern Hemisphere. \nFrom Australia\, survivors detect an incomprehensible Morse code signal coming from the West Coast of the United States. The last American nuclear submarine\, USS Sawfish\, under Royal Australian Navy command\, is ordered to sail north to the United States to attempt to make contact with the sender of the Morse signal. The submarine is commanded by Captain Dwight Towers (Gregory Peck)\, who must leave his new friend\, the alcoholic Moira Davidson (Ava Gardner). \nThe Australian government arranges for its citizens to receive suicide pills or prepared injections so they may end things quickly before there is prolonged suffering from radiation sickness. An Australian naval officer\, Peter Holmes (Anthony Perkins) and his wife\, Mary\, who is in denial about the impending disaster\, have a baby daughter. Assigned to travel with the American sub for several weeks\, Peter tries to explain to Mary how to euthanize their baby and then kill herself in case he is not yet home when the end comes; Mary reacts very emotionally to the prospect of killing her daughter and herself. \nOne scientist’s theory is that the radiation level near the Arctic Ocean could be lower than that found in the mid-Northern Hemisphere\, which might indicate the radiation could disperse before reaching the Southern Hemisphere. The theory is to be explored along with the submarine’s main mission. After sailing to Point Barrow\, Alaska\, they determine that radiation levels are\, on the contrary\, intensifying. \nThis is a long film and will be shown in two parts with a meal between \nPart I  3 pm – 4:15 PM \nMeal Break 4;15- 5:15 \nPart II  5:15-6:30

SUMMARY:Socialist Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:“Does the Working Class Need Its Own Political Party?” \nMost ideological discussion on the working class movement towards socialism pivots around the issue of a revolutionary party. Is a revolutionary party necessary or only a coalition electoral party? What does history tell us about this? Has socialism (working class in full power) ever been built in the absence of such a political party? We will be discussing Marx\, Engels\, and Lenin on the need for and role of a revolutionary party. \nJoin us every other Tuesday at Cafe Express in River Oaks! We are the longest-running progressive reading group in Harris County and would love to have you at our next meet up.
