STREET THEORY: A Social Criticism Open Mic Night

STREET THEORY: A Social Criticism Open Mic Night

The Cedar Works 4919 Pentridge Street, Philadelphia, PA

Metropolarity presents a night of community building and sharing. We seek social criticism from the community--performance art, blog rants, monologues, critical sci-fi, thesis excerpts, protest songs--whatever. As long as it explores and dissects the world we live in today. We want to find out what our community feels about social issues. We don't want theories handed down to us from the ivory tower.

We want your real life STREET THEORY.

2014 Philly Literary Family Reunion & Potluck

2014 Philly Literary Family Reunion & Potluck

Clark Park 4300 Baltimore Avenue, Philadelphia, PA

VIA OUR FRIENDS, APIARY MAGAZINE
Us Philly poets and writers are lucky to have a beautiful & eccentric extended literary family. Over the last 5 years, APIARY's met many newfound brothers and sisters, weirdo cousins, inspiring aunties and uncles, adorable nieces and nephews, and wise grands. After a busy spring, it's time to catch up with everyone!

So on June 8, we're throwing the first annual Philly Literary Family Reunion in Clark Park. No planned readings, no speeches, no bios. Just a grill & music & any Philly poet, writer, and reader who considers themselves fam.

Bring food or drink (it's a public park, and there will be folks of all ages, so booze just needs to be non-visible and lowkey ... don't want it to be THAT kind of family reunion...). If you like, one of your chapbooks, CDs, etc to swap. And bring your family, too!

SINGULARITY: THE ONE-PIECE FEST

Cha-Cha'razzi 2639 Poplar Street, Philadelphia, PA

o N e
I was talking about time. It's so hard for me to believe in it. Some things go. Pass on. Some things just stay. I used to think it was my rememory. You know. Some things you forget. Other things you never do. But it's not. Places, places are still there. If a house burns down, it's gone, but the place—the picture of it—stays, and not just in my rememory, but out there, in the world. What I remember is a picture floating around out there outside my head. I mean, even if I don't think it, even if I die, the picture of what I did, or knew, or saw is still out there. Right in the place where it happened

Wildseeds Black Futures Fest

Ibis Conservation Room 1401 Leonidas St, New Orleans, LA

FESTIVAL WEBSITE: www.blackfuturesfest.strikingly.com
VOLUNTEERS: Email NOLAWildseeds@gmail.com if interested in being a volunteer :)

Save the date for the Wildseeds #BlackFuturesFest going on in New Orleans from May 28th-31st!

The Black Futures Fest is a celebration of the Black fantastic and will showcase the creative praxis of artists, writers, and cultural workers of color in New Orleans whose work engages around issues of Afrofuturism, Black science fiction, and the Black radical and speculative imagination—work exploring race, gender, class, social change, and the future of Black and Brown bodies and communities.

Open to the public, the weekend of festivities will feature film screenings, workshops, panel discussions, literary readings, and art and music by local artists and musicians. More than anything, the festival will provide a space to celebrate Black and Brown artists, writers, teachers, librarians, readers, and publishers engaged in shaping the future of Black people at the intersections of futurism, arts, and social change.
