Punctum Books, Guide to Kulchur and the Beamer-Schneider Professorship, with thanks for the space to SPACES gallery, are co-creating a community think-in on being political on Tuesday & Wednesday the 19th and 20th of July, while national events unfold downtown. The event will issue in a book of “one-minute manifestos” (Arthur Russell) to be co-published by the two presses.
The main idea is to create an antipode to sound-byte politics happening downtown.
Open to all who can make it (and there are apologies for the daytime hours on Wednesday, but there are also Tuesday and Wednesday evening events).
Lunch is provided the 20th – but RSVP is needed for that.
It might be best to take RTA downtown to W25th and walk to SPACES, or to take a lift.
Once again, the event kicks off the evening of the 19th at the Jukebox about the time the American Dream ice sculpture will have melted at the Transformer Station across the way.
The 20th -around the people around the table & the community workshop issuing in the book of manifestos- will take place at SPACES gallery. Check out our own Sarah Gridley and John Carroll University’s Phil Metres as poets contributing to the think in, alongside Shemariah Akri, RA Washington and others, including Lester Spence from Johns Hopkins University.
