Your Dystopia, My Reality: The Power of Perspectives in Imagined Futures
Wednesday, October 25 | 1:00 - 3:00 pm
Santa Rosa Intercultural Center, Pioneer 380
Typically, plot and theme of dystopia expresses and highlights cultural anxieties and is often grounded in "reality" without elements of fantasy or speculation or "what ifs" in order to comment, sometimes indirectly, about society and its fears. But for BIPOC, system oppression and manipulation is already part of the experience. Instead this genre is an opportunity to use story as medicine as they mean to revivify a state of being, to repair a culture, give a sense of place, soothe one's mental state, and/or give a strength that allows one to persevere and survive.

Method Sampling, Film Screening and Q&A
Thursday, November 2 | 12:00 - 1:30 pm
Santa Rosa Intercultural Center, Pioneer 380
Method Sampling is the principle used by an Oakland, CA globetrotting orchestra which fuses hip-hop and classical music to magical effect. JooWan Kim, its Korean born composer, believes that any paradigm shifting change only happens by sampling and reframing differences that spark innovation. To test his hypothesis, Kim meets a disabled choreographer who revolutionized modern dance, a self-taught Black mycologist who wrote the first books on Cordyceps cultivation, and a tiny house builder with a shipbuilding background who looks at houses as inverted boats. In addition, he meets the Italian Critical Theorist, Fabio Vighi, to explore how Method Sampling may allow society to overcome the challenges it faces today. There will be a Q&A following the film with JooWan Kim and co-producer Christopher Nicholas.

Together, communities & artists have asked, how can art be a tool for social change? Art, and more specifically, public art has been vital in resistance movements throughout the world, sharing messages of struggle and triumph with a broader audience. Here in Sonoma County many women of color are creating public and accessible art that is challenging hegemonic narratives of this region and its peoples. In this panel, local artists will share with us the ways in which they use art to illustrate narratives of resistance, joy, culture, and community situated within the context of social justice and social change.
