SUMMARY:100 Days Instead of Prisons Video Premier & Launch Party
DESCRIPTION:THE ART FACTORY & DECARCERATE PA PRESENT: \nCome one\, come all to PhillyCAM and join us for the Premier of our 3 Stop Motion Animation Videos that we collaborated with Decarcerate PA as well as the kick off for the 100 Days Instead of Prisons Launch Party.  \nOur Videos Are: \n~EVOLUTION OF PRISON: THE BACKGROUND FOR DECARCERATE PA \n~WHAT WE WANT: THE PLATFORM OF DECARCERATE PA \n~PLASTIC UPRISING: THE WORK OF DECARCERATE PA \nALSO THERE WILL BE……\nPerformances\nFood\nSpeakers from Decarcerate\nArt-making for the 100 days campaign \nThis summer\, we collaborated with Decarcerate PA and PhillyCAM for six weeks to make three short stop-motion videos to help people realize the grand actuality of the Prison Industrial Complex. PhillyCAM was gracious enough to let us use their equipment and their space while we planned\, filmed\, recorded and edited the 3 videos. Decarcerate PA helped us clear up the clouds by telling us more about what they do as well as the political and community results and consequences of mass incarceration. We hope that these pieces will shed light on the current situation\, and inspire people to join the movement to stop the prison industry and reinvest in the community.

SUMMARY:Fargo-Moorehead Zine Fest
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy zine sales\, a zine tutorial\, music by Spring Ma and QUESE IMC. QUESE will also speak about Idle No More and solidarity. Ras. Mashramani and Maggie Eighteen of the science fiction collective METROPOLARITY will be speaking and facilitating a workshop. \nFMZF is honored to present a screening of the movie Rez with a Q & A with member/s of the cast and crew after. \nFMZF will continue to offer community building events in the meantime. \nFargo-Moorhead Zine Fest was created with the goal of educating people of all ages about zines. In addition to being just plain awesome to read and make\, zines have enormous potential for self-empowerment\, raising self-esteem\, healthy self-expression\, and promoting literacy. \nZines are an inexpensive and easily distributable way to express ideas\, showcase art or photography\, or invite discussion on a topic. Zines have been around in various forms since the invention of the printing press. FMZF was founded by Joyce Hatton\, Midwest Coordinator of the POC Zine Project.

SUMMARY:RADAR+++
DESCRIPTION:Alex Smith’s newest: SCI-FI/GENRE FICTION READING AT LOCUST MOON COMICS! \nWorking in the medium of comics\, there’s generally two sides. First\, the vibrant art that allows for immediate\, tangible recognition and expression of ideas. the absolute essential element that makes sequential art become “comics” is how it’s drawn. It’s a visual medium and we are ecstatic about that! \nBut secondly\, there’s also the writing. At a comic book convention\, no one stands in line to pay $100 for Grant Morisson or Neil Gaiman to write them a couple paragraphs of Batman fanfic. No\, the writing in comics is secondary\, even though without its best practicioners\, comics as a viable expressive medium would have floundered a long time ago. \nSo\, the idea occurs that both mediums should be integrated at comic book gatherings. But how? It’s easy for an artist to show a fan\, potential publisher\, or retailer a few panels or pin ups of their art. It can be felt in the three seconds it takes the viewer to simply view the art. We get it. But again\, for writers\, simply saying\, “I can write” isn’t enough\, yet no one wants to spend precious minutes at a convention reading someone’s story they’ve typed and printed out or posted to their iPAD (I know from experience..ugh.) Thus\, I propose a reading! It’s quite simple: Writers bring one of their best pieces of fiction\, walk up to the stage\, and read to the audience\, captivating them in the same manner as an artist would: with a visceral\, permeable rendering of their words.\n\nOur reading\, titled RADAR+++\, would allow for writers in the sci-fi\, super hero\, action\, crime\, spy\, fantasy\, horror genres to present their work\, much like a poetry reading. There’s a proven audience for this\, if recent attendance and participation in the Laser Life sci fi readings and the Afro-Futurist Affair gatherings are proof. \nFormat:\nEach reader signs up beforehand\, preferably online\, after submitting a portion of their piece. We want this to be entertaining and a showcase for talent. Then we allot ten minutes reading time for each participant. This event should last two hours (the length of a good movie)\, and while that may seem like a long time\, it really goes by fairly quickly.  \nSo let us know if you’re down to read for us!
