SUMMARY:“DIRT: The Secret Life of Soil” with Arm-of-the-Sea Theater
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a theatrical production about the dirt under our feet by Arm-of-the-Sea Theater\, an arts ensemble that fuses visual storytelling with live music in contemporary works of mask and puppet theater.  \n\n\n\nThis production will take place outdoors in Freedom Square\, a two-minute walk from the Sanctuary.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere does food “come from” and from what is it made? Here’s a lively primer for urban bumpkins and upcountry gardeners alike. Fusing cutting-edge science and age-old puppetry\, DIRT takes audiences on an extravagant journey of discovery into the Great Underneath—revealing the epic alchemy of plants\, the fungi’s dance of mutual delight\, and the microbes’ herculean labors. Fifty minutes in length\, performed by a five- member company\, and featuring live music and a myriad of puppet figures ranging from 12 inches to 12 feet tall\, the show reminds earthly residents of all ages how profoundly essential the ground beneath their feet is. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArm-of-the-Sea Theater’s mission is to inspire wonder\, offer insight\, spark joy and enrich the public imagination. They accomplish their mission through the symbolic visual language of mask and puppet theater. This handmade\, low-tech form of communication is decentralized and locally adapted. It can bridge language barriers and engage people of many ages and walks of life.  \n\n\n\nArm-of-the-Sea was founded in 1982 by Marlena Marallo and Patrick Wadden as an experimental hybrid performance group combining art\, ecology and social action. They continue to experiment with this ephemeral art form as a symbolic visual language that can illuminate the links between human communities and the life-support processes of this blue ocean planet.   \n\n\n\n\n\nPhotos by Robert Cooper from the performance at Freedom Square on October 8\, 2022\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\nSponsored by NATURE Lab and People’s Health Sanctuary.

SUMMARY:Al Bilali Soudan
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a concert from Al Bilali Soudan from Timbuktu\, Mali. Their performance is an improvisational tour de force of traditional instruments (incl. tehardant and calabash)\, rhythms\, and scales. These traditional instruments are foundational to the development of the style that has evolved into the modern desert blues sound. \n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n***In line with our commitment to equity\, love and justice\, we ask that you please keep your mask on at our indoor events.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe group members all come from a well-known Tuareg griot family who have performed for generations. Aballow Yattara is the current group leader. Other members of the group are his uncle Aboubacrine Yattara and their sons Mohamed Ag Abellow and Tchiale Ag Aboubacrine.  \n\n\n\nAbellow and Aboubacrine Yattara began to play the tehardant\, a three-stringed fretless instrument that some refer to as precursor to modern banjo\, when they were adolescents. Both their fathers were master musicians. His uncle can be heard on the first recordings of traditional music in Northern Mali. Abellow Yattara can be heard on early recordings by Ali Farka Toure\, on 1970’s recordings of the Orchestre de Tombouctou\, and many Radio Mali broadcasts. He accompanied the vocalist\, Khaira Arby\, on recordings and on tour. In 2010 he gave a master class at Berklee College of Music in Boston. \n\n\n\nHear the interview with Al Bilali Soudan

SUMMARY:Chris Hedges: "The Greatest Evil is War"
DESCRIPTION:Chris Hedges returns to The Sanctuary for Independent Media on the subject of his latest book titled The Greatest Evil is War\, an unflinching indictment of the horror and obscenity of war. Pulitzer-prize-winner Chris Hedges draws from experience and interviews for this book that looks at the hidden costs of war\, what it does to individuals\, families\, communities\, and nations.   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThis event is IN PERSON but the audio will be carried live on Sanctuary Radio\, heard in the Troy area on WOOC 105.3 FM and streaming live at www.mediasanctuary.org for everyone everywhere.  We hope to post the video on Sanctuary TV shortly. \n\n\n\n***In line with our commitment to equity\, love and justice\, we ask that you please keep your mask on at our indoor events.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFull Audio from Chris Hedges: “The Greatest Evil is War”\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\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImages by Sina Basila Hickey \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Book\n\n\n\nIn fifteen short chapters\, Chris Hedges astonishes us with his clear and cogent argument against war\, not on philosophical grounds or through moral arguments\, but in an irrefutable stream of personal encounters with the victims of war\, from veterans and parents to gravely wounded American serviceman who served in the Iraq War\, to survivors of the Holocaust\, to soldiers in the Falklands War\, among others. Hedges reported from Sarajevo\, and was in the Balkans to witness the collapse of the Soviet Union.  \n\n\n\nIn 2002 he published War Is a Force that Gives Us Meaning\, which the Los Angeles Times described as “the best kind of war journalism… bitterly poetic and ruthlessly philosophical” and the New York Times called “a brilliant\, thoughtful\, timely\, and unsettling book.” In the twenty years since\, Hedges has not wanted to write another book on the subject of war–until now\, with the outbreak of war in Ukraine. It is important again to be reminded who are the victors of the spoils of war and of other unerring truths\, not only in this war but in all modern wars\, where civilians are always the main victims\, and the tools and methods of war are capable of so much destruction it boggles the mind. This book is an unflinching indictment of the horror and obscenity of war by one of our finest war correspondents. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCheck out Chris Hedges’ “Our Class: Trauma and Transformation in an American Prison\,” recorded on June 28\, 2021 at The Sanctuary for Independent Media!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChris Hedges is a Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist who was a foreign correspondent for fifteen years for The New York Times\, where he served as the Middle East Bureau Chief and Balkan Bureau Chief for the paper. He previously worked overseas for The Dallas Morning News\, The Christian Science Monitor\, and NPR. He is the host of the Emmy Award-nominated RT America show On Contact.
