"The obligatory: For over a decade, this annual event has provided an open-forum for anyone with anything to say using paper / print media.
Subject matter typically ranges from radical politics, civil rights, and sustainability to personal reflections to off-center entertainment (bizarre comics, punk rock)."

Catch a reading performance by Maggie Eighteen, Monday, December 8th, as part of the Canaries group show at Cleopatra's in Brooklyn.
Canaries is a support group of women artists in New York City living and working with autoimmune conditions. Together they navigate the misconceptions around autoimmunity and the rising autoimmune epidemic. Through their conversations and work, the Canaries confront the epistemological shortcomings of a culture that insists on the duality of mind and body. Moving between the realm of the healthy and the realm of the sick, they seek to carve out a new site from which to understand identity formation in today’s world.
Cleopatra’s is pleased to present Canaries, a multimedia group exhibition that investigates healing, survival and the scarcity of language around these issues.
Fhloston Paradigm (King Britt / Pia Ercole / Mike Todd) with our own Rasheedah Phillips and Robotique sci-fi DJ set.
Very nice.
