SUMMARY:2014 Allied Media Conference in Detroit
DESCRIPTION:Join Metropolarity & network at this year’s The Allied Media Conference\, a collaborative laboratory of media-based organizing strategies for transforming our world\, held every Summer in Detroit! \nDID U KNOW? METROPOLARITY PRESENTS A SCI-FI FOCUSED PROGRAMMING TRACK THIS YEAR! \nLiberation Technologies: Sci-Fi for World Building & Survival\nThe post-apocalypse is here and real\, where ancient and varied modes of survival and technology have been erased in the name of Empire and Progress. What do we do when access to memory/the past is standardized? This track explores how people at the margins can remix\, rewire\, and revive emancipatory technologies such as storytelling\, world-building\, magic\, sci-fi and speculation to envision and conjure narratives of power and joy. Through engagement with tools like portals and time-travel\, we will develop strategies to manifest new/ancient narratives into reality. We will envision a world that has happened\, is happening\, and will happen. We hope that travelers will walk away with the courage to embody the power of fiction and visioning in healing personal and historical trauma and disenfranchisement. We want to create and share multifaceted inclusive networks that emerge our bodies from isolation and oppressive paradigms to keep our souls alive. \n==================================== \nABOUT THE AMC\nCREATE\nAt the AMC\, we understand media as any way in which we communicate with the world\, from zines to breakdancing\, to designing neighborhood-based communications infrastructure. We share and create media that exposes\, investigates\, heals\, builds confidence and radical hope\, incites dialogue and debate. We demystify technology\, not only learning how to use it\, but how to design and build our own.  In doing so\, we redefine technology’s role and impact in our lives. The AMC creates learning environments for all ages and skill levels\, including hands-on workshops\, strategy sessions\, presentations and performances. \nCONNECT\n The AMC is a network of networks – social justice organizers\, community technologists\, transformative artists\, educators\, entrepreneurs\, and many others — all using media in innovative ways. Some of these networks sprout from the conference\, grow over the course of the year then reconvene in Detroit larger and healthier. Others use the AMC as an annual point of convergence and a space to forge new relationships. Through cycles of participatory investigation and experimentation\, our networks continue to grow\, generating new theories and practices of media-based organizing. \nTRANSFORM\nAs our networks grow\, so does our capacity to take collective actions to transform our world. At the AMC\, we develop new leaders and new forms of leadership\, design new methods of problem-solving\, cultivate the visions of our communities and build our power to make those visions real.  \n==================================== \nBrowse the 2014 Tracks\, Practice Spaces\, and Network Gatherings that make up the AMC here! \n==================================== \nREGISTER TO ATTEND!  ／／／　FIND HOUSING\, RIDESHARES\, CHILDCARE & ACCESSIBILITY HERE \n==================================== \nAllied Media Projects Network Principles\nWe are making an honest attempt to solve the most significant problems of our day. \nWe are building a network of people and organizations that are developing long-term solutions based on the immediate confrontation of our most pressing problems. \nWherever there is a problem\, there are already people acting on the problem in some fashion. Understanding those actions is the starting point for developing effective strategies to resolve the problem\, so we focus on the solutions\, not the problems. \nWe emphasize our own power and legitimacy. \nWe presume our power\, not our powerlessness. \nWe spend more time building than attacking. \nWe focus on strategies rather than issues. \nThe strongest solutions happen through the process\, not in a moment at the end of the process. \nThe most effective strategies for us are the ones that work in situations of scarce resources and intersecting systems of oppression because those solutions tend to be the most holistic and sustainable. \nPlace is important. For the AMC\, Detroit is important as a source of innovative\, collaborative\, low-resource solutions. Detroit gives the conference a sense of place\, just as each of the conference participants bring their own sense of place with them to the conference. \nWe encourage people to engage with their whole selves\, not just with one part of their identity. \nWe begin by listening.

SUMMARY:SASS & SMASH: Benefit for Sass and Laser Life Sci-Fi Anthology
DESCRIPTION:“The earth owes me nothing. I owe the earth.”– Vinne Paz \nTo enhance your experience reading these blurbs\, please read from the bottom and up to the top. Din da da. \nSWARM\nTo fellow queer super-heroes\, wanderers\, listeners: when they danced\, i held up my fist to attract lightning i was an antennae for god\, just there\, present. i couldn’t hear drums and voices\, i made no notes in my moleskine\, i didn’t strain for lyrics or “meaning”. I just was. There was just soul opening\, movement\, rage\, honor\, and meditation; my heart was a queer spire and every “-ism” and “-phobia” fell away\, I was. \nTHE DAQUAN\nAlien alert! Sci-Fi seamstress\, weaving wild tales channeled from the divine ether\, this wordsmith speaks to cosmic minutiae populating the other’d dimensions with pure verbal acrobatics over futurist beats ringing clear like breakbeats pounded out on Cybotronian lunch tables. \nMOOR MOTHER GODDESS\nWhat is EDM to the mother of Moors? What is a punk rocker to one who casts spells? A mere beat-maker to a shaman? Then an emcee to a Goddess? The good in all these things\, the fire and the noise \nGOODNIGHT STARS GOODNIGHT AIR\nLike fireflies rising through cracks in cement\, a tree birthed in ruins of a long forgotten warehouse\, GSGA gives us blissed out drone pop\, from pennsylvania’s industrial north.  \nEX BY V\nRoiling chaotic drums\, lascivious bass\, strange experiments and\, above all\, complete frenzy\, collude to bring us this meddlesome twosome. Wild\, focused and free \nMARLO REYNOLDS\nBlue flame. When you see the blue flame\, meditate on the blue flame. A fool in your life acting up? Blue flame: fool is gone.  \nSEE THROUGH GIRLS\nSome how\, after days of bashing and wailing\, through a maze of broken string and apoplectic tantrum\, this amalgam of pre-calculus homework\, dizzy punk and robot rebellion is finally punk and ready to tear off heads. \nTRIANGULLUM\nsound\, digital collage/video\, textile\, object design for a new future\, diasporan design\, and speculative fashion to create a container for mind-transformation\, subversive de-colonization\, and ancestry communication. \nSHANE JENKINS\nThe anthropomorphic sprite of a 100\,000 words of light\, unveiling a sonic journey through the afterfuture. \nDJ AURA\nKinetic Kemetic sound blender\, the rare dj who’s mixes are as meticulous as they are boundary pushing\, as tight as they are genre bending\, and as freaking nasty/fun as they are curated!  \nhosts/readers: METROPOLARITY\nhttp://metropolarity.net/  \n$10///no one turned away for lack of $//benefit for Sassquat\, a community queer DIY house/movement responsible for many of the west philly undergrounds greatest moments\, and for Laser Life (queer sci-fi reading series) upcoming anthology \n**This is a safer space\, bros fall back!**

SUMMARY:The AfroFuturist Affair 3rd Annual Costume & Charity Ball
DESCRIPTION:The AfroFuturist Affair is throwing our 3rd Annual Charity & Costume Ball: Dark Phase Space on November 9\, 2013 at MythMedia Studios in Philadelphia!  At the annual Ball we celebrate and bring awareness to AfroFuturistic culture with feature artists\, authors\, and performers who will present works and creations that use Afrofuturism and Sci-Fi as vehicles for expression\, education\, agency\, and liberation. All proceeds from the event will be donated to the Futurist Fund\, a community grant dedicated to serving the needs of an underserved or marginalized member of the community. \nWe need your support to throw the Ball and fund our community grant!\n\nThe AfroFuturist Affair is a community formed in Philadelphia in 2011 to celebrate\, strengthen\, and promote Afrofuturistic and Black sci-fi culture through creative events\, community workshops\, blogging\, and creative writing. All proceeds from our events are used to fund the Futurist Fund Community Grant.  The AfroFuturist Affair is also a founding member of Metropolarity.net\, a 215 Speculative Fiction Collective.\n\nThe Futurist Fund is a community\, need-based grant established to provide a small amount of financial assistance to those in the community with an immediate and demonstrated need\, and without other available funds or resources to meet that need.  The Futurist Fund grant is awarded by The AfroFuturist Affair each year\, with grant funds raised from non-tax deductible donations made through creative Afrofuturistic events held year round by the organization and other collaborative partners.  \nSince we started giving out the grant in November 2012\, we have assisted a mother with past due bills after tragic deaths in the family\, a young mother with severe health issues\, and an individual in need of assistance with moving costs.  We have also used the funds to provide sponsorship and community partnerships to a number of community events\, including Psychic Windows Gallery with artist Joshua Mays at Sanctuary Wholistic Arts\, the Philly Premiere of The Triptych with AfroPunk and MythMedia Studios\, and Rockers! 3rd Annual BBQ Weekend.  \nThe Annual Ball provides a platform for artists\, authors\, musicians\, visionaries\, and performers of color who purposely create with science fiction and afrofuturistic themes and mediums. Artists who feature at the AfroFuturist Affair Carity & Costume Ball are diverse in their theories\, topics\, and modes of expression\, but all of their work embody common afrofuturistic elements – paying homage to our histories\, commenting on our present state\, and envisioning our futures as people of color. Some of our past guests and sponsors have included: \n \nDja Dja N. Medjay\, author of the science fiction novel\, Renpet \nBill Campbell \, author of Sunshine Patriots and Koontown Killing Kaper \nNicole D. Sconiers\, author of a collection of speculative fiction short stories\, Escape from Beckyville: Tales of Race\, Hair\, and Rage \nNapoleon Dolemite and the Signifying Monks \n \nVisual Artist Lorna Williams \nIntuitive Expressions \nPSL Presidential Candidate of the US Peta Lindsay  \nArtists Rell Stylez of S.W.A.G \nDesigner Nit Ra Sit \nDJ John Morrison The Alien Architect  \n \nPhiladelphia Printworks feyasterling inc. The Black Tribbles \nBlack Sci-Fi.com \nBlu Dahlia  \n \n \nFunds also help to support other activities and endeavors of the organization\, including our tumblr blog which promotes and supports Afrofuturistic culture\, practice\, and events around the diaspora\, our free community workshops\, and critical\, creative writing on Black scifi and Afrofuturistic phenomenon.  \nYou can see photos from our past Balls from 2011 and 2012.  \nHere is an interview with the Creative Director of The AfroFuturist Affair at a promotional event from the very first Ball in 2011: \n \nOther Ways You Can Help \n \nAll donations are greatly\nappreciated\, but we understand that not everyone has the means to monetarily support. Your support by sharing this campaign on your social networking\nsites is truly invaluable! We will also try to set up some sort of digital gift\nfor most shares\, such as a .pdf of The AfroFuturist Affair mini-zine.  \nIf you are interested in sponsoring\, vending\, or volunteering at the 2013 Charity & Costume Ball\, please submit an email to afrofuturistaffair@gmail.com. To share your ideas\, talents\, and proposed performances for inclusion in this year’s Charity & Costume Ball\, please email afrofuturistaffair@gmail.com by September 30\, 2013.  \n \nMore About The AfroFuturist Affair \n \nThe AfroFuturist Affair engages the community by cultivating a vehicle through which people can push beyond the confines of the mainstream narratives and stereotypes that have marginalized their interests\, experiences\, and their very existences and allows them to continue developing their identities in a comfortable and safe space with people of like minds.  The project also provides a space for individuals of color with similar experiences and interests in Afrofuturism\, fantasy\, science-fiction\, and speculative fiction to collaborate on a project that promotes and encourages their art and philosophies as connected with these themes. In the sense that Afrofuturism and speculative fiction is a medium for social commentary and a lens through which communities can shape evaluate or shape their futures\, the project provides the space not only for further dialogue around these ideas\, but for actual\, practical implementation of these ideas as they serve social progress.
