SUMMARY:FEMeeting Sister Labs: Workshops
DESCRIPTION:Join FEMeeting Sister Labs\, a conference bringing together women in art\, science and technology\, for two days of speakers\, workshops\, and community activities. NATURE Lab hosts FEMeeting Sister Labs right here in North Central Troy\, NY\, welcoming local and international artists\, scholars\, students and community members.  \n\n\n\n\n\nSchedule:April 5\, 7:00pm – 9:30pm: Speakers \n\n\n\nApril 6\, 9:00am – 2:00pm: Workshops \n\n\n\n\n9:00am Coffee and light fare at The Sanctuary.\n\n\n\n9:30am FEM Tour of Sanctuary Eco-Art Trail\, 3361 6th Ave: Join us for a tour of the Sanctuary’s campus\, where abandoned buildings and lots have been transformed into a learning living laboratory. Walk with us as we celebrate our launch of the Sanctuary Eco-Art Trail\, which embeds art\, environmental justice\, Indigenous history and legacy into an urban nature and multimedia walk along 6th Ave in North-Central Troy. Walk begins at the Sanctuary and moves across campus with tour guides Branda Miller\, Kathy High\, Ellie Irons and Azuré Keahi \n\n\n\n10:00 – 11:30  NATURE Lab Workshop: Community Science in N. Central Troy\, 3319 6th Ave: Meet the visionary women as they share community science projects in the North Troy Art\, Technology and Urban Research in Ecology Lab\, otherwise know as NATURE Lab (NL)! The Sanctuary’s community health and urban ecology research initiative\, NL began in 2010 and continues into the future as a series of workshops and symposiums\, alongside artist and scientist research residencies.\n\nKathy High\, Introduction\n\n\n\nSarah Cadieux: Microplastics in our water\n\n\n\nAbby Kinchy: Our Soil project\n\n\n\nEllie Irons: Water Justice Lab\n\n\n\nA’Livija Mullins-Richard: Air Justice Lab\n\n\n\nEmilly Obuya: STEM / STEAM Learning\n\n\n\n\n\n12:15-1:45 Sanctuary Eco-Art Trail workshop\, “L Lot\,” 3305 6th Ave\, “AILANTHUSxYUCCA: Clearing\, Weaving\, Opening”: Join in a hands-on workshop for confronting invasion\, embracing diaspora\, and clearing space for life among life. We will cut and process the vigorous shoots of the introduced tree of heaven\, opening space to experiment with rooting yucca\, a cordage plant we’d like to collaborate with as we build towards a fiber garden. \n\nAzuré Keahi\n\n\n\nEllie Irons\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister for FEMeeting 4/6/24\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFEMeeting is driven by the desire to develop and promote a more direct collaboration between women working at the intersection art\, science\, and technology. The conference aims to disseminate projects being undertaken by women worldwide and\, as a result\, to contribute to the development of art-science research methodologies and to the growth of cooperation strategies that can increase knowledge sharing and bring communities closer.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore about FEMeeting and Sister Labs\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLaunched in 2017\, the conference “FEMeeting: Women in Art\, Science and Technology” was driven by the desire to develop and promote more direct collaboration between individuals who identify themselves as Women\, independently of their sex. The idea behind FEMeeting was orchestrated by the Portuguese artist Marta de Menezes and scholar Dalila Honorato\, after realizing that women in the field of Art and Science have an unquestionable presence worldwide.  \n\n\n\nIn 2021\, FEMeeting Sister Labs launched as an hybrid model of interaction between local and global\, between digital and physical: where FEMeeting members address to the community of women in art\, science and technology an invitation to their lab spaces. \n\n\n\nDiscover the lab spaces already presented by FEMeeting members through Sister Labs and learn more about the community of women in art\, science and technology! Check out Sister Lab around the World! \n\n\n\nWe are particularly interested in hearing about the experiences of BIPOC\, trans women\, non-binary women\, and gender queer women\, and people living with disabilities. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is curated by iEAR Presents! and is made possible in part by New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Governor and the New York State Legislature. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is a collaboration between the iEAR Presents!series with support from RPI’s ARTS department and School of Humanities\, Arts and Social Science\, and from the New York State Council for the Arts/ NYSCA\, with The Sanctuary for Independent Media\, and is a featured project of the NEA Our Town “Sanctuary Eco-Art Trail” creative placemaking grant.

SUMMARY:"The Black Woods" Book Talk
DESCRIPTION:Join author Amy Godine for a book talk on her most recent work\, The Black Woods: Pursuing Racial Justice on the Adirondack Frontier. The presentation will be followed by an audience Q&A.  \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Black Woods: Pursuing Racial Justice on the Adirondack Frontier (2023\, Cornell University Press) chronicles the dramatic history of Black pioneers in New York’s northern wilderness. From the 1840s into the 1860s\, they migrated to the Adirondacks to build farms and to vote. On their new land they could hope to meet the $250 property requirement New York imposed on Black prospective voters in 1821\, and gain a cherished right of citizenship\, the ballot. \n\n\n\nIn 1846 and ’47\, three thousand Black New Yorkers were gifted with 120\,000 acres of Adirondack land by Gerrit Smith\, an upstate abolitionist and heir to an immense land fortune. Smith’s suffrage-minded plan was endorsed by Frederick Douglass and New York’s leading Black abolitionists. The antislavery reformer John Brown was such an advocate that in 1849 he moved his family to Timbuctoo\, a new Black neighborhood in the woods. \n\n\n\nSmith’s plan was prescient\, anticipating Black suffrage reform\, affirmative action\, environmental distributive justice\, and community-based racial equity more than a century before these were points of public policy. But when the response to Smith’s offer fell radically short of his high hopes\, Smith’s zeal cooled. Timbuctoo\, Freemen’s Home\, Blacksville\, and other Black enclaves were forgotten. Local and regional historians would marginalize the Black experience for 150 years. In The Black Woods\, Godine retrieves the robust story of Black pioneers who carved from the wilderness a future for their families and their civic rights. With stirring stories from archival sources\, Amy Godine returns these trailblazers and their descendants to their rightful place in the Adirondack narrative. This recovery is long overdue.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho is Amy Godine?\n\n\n\nAmy is a writer\, curator\, and lecturer with a longstanding interest in the social history of the Adirondack region. She has been writing articles and speaking about social trends\, marginalized communities\, and ethnic and Black neighborhoods in this high corner of New York since 1988. What do these pieces have in common beyond their focus on this region? One way or another\, they aim to challenge or confound entrenched ideas about Adirondack exceptionalism\, and reach for the guy lines that lash the region to the wider\, fractious world beyond. Miners’ strikes\, eastern European peddlers\, Klan rallies\, Spanish road workers\, the pseudo-science of eugenics and its impact on the early conservation movement\, suffrage activism\, and Black pioneers – her’s is not the Adirondack Country dear to Park historians\, nature writers or antiquarians. Amy goes for something else.

SUMMARY:Chris Hedges: Normalizing Genocide and the New World Order
DESCRIPTION:Chris Hedges will return to the Sanctuary for Independent Media to give the talk “Normalizing Genocide and the New World Order” which asks how the world has changed since the genocide began\, how we navigate a world without rules or humanitarian law and how the genocidal violence perpetuated by the Global North\, especially as the climate crisis deepens\, will be turned with ever more frequency on the peoples of the Global South. \n\n\n\n\n\nChris Hedges\, the former Middle East Bureau Chief for The New York Times\, is a Pulitzer-prize winning reporter and Arabic speaker. He spent 7 years covering the conflict between Israel and Palestine. He is the author of numerous books including the New York Times bestsellers War is a Force That Gives Us Meaning\, American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America and Days of Destruction\, Days of Revolt\, which he co-authored with the cartoonist Joe Sacco. He has taught at Columbia University\, New York University\, Princeton University\, and the University of Toronto. He has also taught students in the college degree program offered by Rutgers University in the New Jersey prison system for a decade\, the subject of his book Our Class: Trauma and Transformation in an American Prison.

SUMMARY:“Here Comes the Sun” Book Talk with Bill McKibben
DESCRIPTION:Acclaimed environmentalist Bill McKibben will be at the Sanctuary to share his hope for our future in Here Comes the Sun\, a call to harness the power of the sun and rewrite our scientific\, economic\, and political future. Join us for this book talk\, Q&A\, and book signing with McKibben\, one of the first to sound the alarm about the climate crisis. McKibben will also be our special guest for a fundraiser dinner! This dinner will be an intimate gourmet vegan meal by extraordinary chef Intaba Liff-Anderson. \n\n\n\nHere Comes the Sun is a book about a last chance for the climate and a fresh chance for civilization by Bill McKibben\, an author\, environmentalist\, and activist. In 1988 he wrote The End of Nature\, the first book for a common audience about global warming. McKibben comes to the Sanctuary for a talk on his latest book\, followed by a Q&A and book signing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur climate\, and our democracy\, are melting down. But Bill McKibben\, one of the first to sound the alarm about the climate crisis\, insists the moment is also full of possibility. Energy from the sun and wind is suddenly the cheapest power on the planet and growing faster than any energy source in history—if we can keep accelerating the pace\, we have a chance. \n\n\n\nHere Comes the Sun tells the story of the sudden spike in power from the sun and wind—and the desperate fight of the fossil fuel industry and their politicians to hold this new power at bay. From the everyday citizens who installed solar panels equal to a third of Pakistan’s electric grid in a year to the world’s sixth-largest economy—California—nearly halving its use of natural gas in the last two years\, Bill McKibben traces the arrival of plentiful\, inexpensive solar energy. And he shows how solar power is more than just a path out of the climate crisis: it is a chance to reorder the world on saner and more humane grounds. You can’t hoard solar energy or hold it in reserves—it’s available to all. \n\n\n\nThere’s no guarantee we can make this change in time\, but there is a hope—in McKibben’s eyes\, our best hope for a new civilization: one that looks up to the sun\, every day\, as the star that fuels our world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBill McKibben is founder of Third Act\, which organizes people over the age of 60 for action on climate and justice. \n\n\n\nHis 1989 book The End of Nature is regarded as the first book for a general audience about climate change\, and has appeared in 24 languages. He’s gone on to write 20 books\, and his work appears regularly in periodicals from the New Yorker to Rolling Stone. He serves as the Schumann Distinguished Scholar in Environmental Studies at Middlebury College\, as a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, and he has won the Gandhi Peace Prize as well as honorary degrees from 20 colleges and universities. He was awarded the Right Livelihood Award\, sometimes called the alternative Nobel\, in the Swedish Parliament. Foreign Policy named him to its inaugural list of the world’s 100 most important global thinkers. \n\n\n\nMcKibben helped found 350.org\, the first global grassroots climate campaign\, which has organized protests on every continent\, including Antarctica\, for climate action. He played a leading role in launching the opposition to big oil pipeline projects like Keystone XL\, and the fossil fuel divestment campaign\, which has become the biggest anti-corporate campaign in history\, with endowments worth more than $40 trillion stepping back from oil\, gas and coal. He stepped down as board chair of 350 in 2015\, and left the board and stepped down from his volunteer role as senior adviser in 2020\, accepting emeritus status. He lives in the mountains above Lake Champlain with his wife\, the writer Sue Halpern\, where he spends as much time as possible outdoors. In 2014\, biologists credited his career by naming a new species of woodland gnat—Megophthalmidia mckibbeni–in his honor. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBill McKibben was interviewed by Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpecial thanks to the Sanctuary community members who made this evening possible. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBlue Mountain Center \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBulich Creekside Farms \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCollar City Mushrooms \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGolden Leaf Books \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHappy Belly Hudson \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHonest Weight Food Co-op \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMeezan Kitchen \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Placid Baker \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSprouting Heart Farm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFlower Scout \n\n\n\n\n\nView a full list of our supporters.

SUMMARY:"North Stars of Emancipation" Book Talk & Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a book talk about North Stars of Emancipation: California’s Diverse Food and Farming Movements in Times of Racial Reckoning\, with author Antonio Roman-Alcalá. A panel with local food justice advocates from Soul Fire Farm\, the Radix Center\, and Serenity Solidarity will discuss food movements in the Capital Region. Books will be available for sale by Greenlight Books. \n\n\n\nNorth Stars of Emancipation traces the recent evolution of California’s food movements towards a more liberatory model grounded in diverse radical traditions. Drawing on his work in urban farming\, radical politics\, and academic research\, author Antonio Roman-Alcalá will discuss the themes of his book with local food justice advocates. \n\n\n\nAbout this Book\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow we grow\, harvest\, distribute\, and consume food is bound up with how we use (and abuse) environmental resources\, and how we achieve (or undermine) collective well-being. In North Stars of Emancipation\, Antonio Roman-Alcalá finds in the radical experiments of new food movements the seeds of a world liberated from old\, extractive systems\, where a more equitable way of eating and living is possible. \n\n\n\nThe book traces the transformation of California’s diverse food movements as Black\, Indigenous\, Latinx\, and other people of color have come to play a larger organizational role\, especially at a time of toxic national politics. A new vision now guides these movements\, rooted in the radical traditions of anarchism\, Black radicalism\, and Indigenous resurgence\, yet focused on pragmatic solutions to the problems of market and state. In pursuing a North Star political ideal that rejects capitalism\, colonialism\, and state violence while prioritizing survival\, California’s food movements have achieved greater collaboration among sectors\, workers\, and consumers\, pointing toward a promising future. \n\n\n\n\n\nNorth Stars of Emancipation takes the rare step of analyzing movements as interconnected wholes. From their collective success\, we learn how to move past an untenable present. Published by MIT Press. \n\n\n\nFeatured Guests\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAntonio Roman-Alcalá is an educator\, researcher\, writer\, musician\, and organizer based in California who has worked on sustainable food systems and radical politics for over 20 years. Antonio is currently an Assistant Professor at California State University East Bay teaching Geography and Environmental Studies\, while researching movements for social and environmental justice through agroecology and food sovereignty.

SUMMARY:Judith Enck on Plastics and Creating Legislation
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a book talk and conversation around plastics and how to push legislation with environmental policy expert Judith Enck. After presenting on her book The Problem with Plastic: How We Can Save Ourselves and Our Planet Before It’s Too Late\, which investigates plastic innovation which has created devastating environmental and public health impacts\, Enck will be joined by Shaunty M of Golden Leaf Books to talk about how to make a bill into law. Enck’s organization Beyond Plastics works on a slew of legislation to reduce the plastic in our environment\, while Shaunty has experience pushing electric vehicle legislation. \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here… Coming Soon\n\n\n\n\nGolden Leaf Books will supply books for sale.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat if we said that the line between societal advancement and environmental degradation is as thin as a layer of plastic wrap? Once a marvel of modern science\, plastic has become so inextricably woven into our lives that imagining a world without can seem impossible. Over the last 75 years\, plastic has cradled our planet in a synthetic embrace. \n\n\n\n“The Problem with Plastic” critically examines the paradox of this material\, first celebrated for its innovations and now recognized for its devastating environmental and public health impacts. This compelling narrative reveals how plastic pollution contributes to poisoned oceans\, polluted air\, a warming planet\, and overwhelming waste\, particularly affecting marginalized communities\, which bear the brunt of petrochemical pollution. The book highlights the pervasive presence of microplastics in the environment and the human body\, challenging the belief that recycling can solve the crisis. \n\n\n\nIn addition to uncovering environmental racism and debunking industry claims\, “The Problem with Plastic” emphasizes the urgent need for action against plastic’s toxic legacy\, and offers readers practical\, actionable solutions\, including a “household waste audit\,” which empowers readers to track and reduce their own plastic consumption.
