SUMMARY:Food & Memory hosted by Rethinking Place: Bard-on-Mahicantuk
DESCRIPTION:Food & Memory\, hosted by Rethinking Place: Bard-on-Mahicantuk\, the third and final conference of Rethinking Place\, aims to explore food systems\, agricultural practices\, and culinary histories as a point of entry into place-making past\, present\, and future. \nThe conference brings together agricultural workers\, chefs\, food systems scholars\, and artists to create fertile ground for interdisciplinary discussion. Situated on the banks of the Mahicantuk (Hudson River) in a time when current food systems\, planetary health\, and direct violence pose existential threats to the sovereignty and wellbeing of many\, Rethinking Place aims to center a diverse range of voices and histories that have touched and formed the current agricultural region of the Hudson Valley and beyond\, including Lucy Grignon\, Vivian Sansour\, Jalal Sabur\, Kenny Perkins\, Tara Rodriguez Besosa and many more. \nSave the date for March 6-8th at Bard College. Some presentations will be recorded and made available following the conference. We hope to see you there!

SUMMARY:COVID Creative Coalition
DESCRIPTION:ATTENTION\, “Hudson Valley” COVID-informed creatives! Join Celebrate845 on Tuesday\, March 11 at 6PM EST on Zoom for a community meeting. No artistic experience required. Read on for intentions & access info! \nIntention (by facilitator Amanda W): What would you like people to know about covid? And how could we use more creative mediums to deliver that information locally? Inspired by ACT UP’s Gran Fury and drawing on activism that seeks to provide health interventions when government agencies fail to message critical information comprehensively (or at all)\, let’s put our talents to use and help our communities. What could we create to better inform those around us and encourage more covid competency? \nBecause despite what many people want to believe in their urgency to get “back to normal\,” we’re still in a pandemic. Yet\, we’re watching the erasure of covid and long covid in real time with the current administration\, and prior to that\, a complete failure of the CDC to accurately share the risks and repercussions of repeat covid infections in any meaningful way. Let’s fill that gap. We can produce materials that educate our communities about the dangers of covid and encourage them to adopt more covid-competent behaviors. And we can do so in a way that ideally feels creatively edifying. Join us for an introductory meeting to discuss our potential first project and lay the groundwork for what will hopefully become an ongoing\, multi-city effort. \nAccess info: fully virtual on Zoom. If you need suggestions on where to access free WiFi\, let us know. No expectation to have video on. This will be a conversation with the intention of collectively co-building a working group. All ideas\, ages & abilities welcomed. Zoom captions available. \nZoom link will be shared day-of at Celebrate845.com/links \nAnd non-Hudson Valley folks are welcomed to attend\, connect & get inspired\, but we’ll be centering building our efforts in the HV. Maybe breakout rooms by locale!

SUMMARY:Just Transition Primer
DESCRIPTION:Just Transition Primer\nFriday\, March 14\, 2025\n12:00-2:00pm\nOnline \nLet’s come together online to align understanding and action in support of effective\, collective responses to the moment we are living in. \nSoaring prices for housing and food make it increasingly difficult to secure our basic needs. Wildfire smoke and damaging storms are commonplace. Our entrenched political divides are laced with conflict and create a sense of insecurity. How do we make sense of these realities? Where can we glimpse the kind of possibility worth coming together to work for? This workshop provides an opportunity to connect\, explore a shared vision of Just Transition\, and consider the question: What will it take to build systems centered on care for each other and our shared home? What would it mean for many of us in the Mahicantuck (Hudson) Valley to be focused on social and ecological well-being? Join us online\, in community\, to deepen your understanding of the Just Transition framework\, principles and practices. Through video\, reflection\, story sharing\, and small group discussion\, you will: \n\nSee people from across the country describing aspects of Just Transition\nHear how other participants respond to the framework\nConnect your own experience to extractive and regenerative economic paradigms\nGain a sense of the framework\, principles and practices\, and where they come from\nDiscuss ways you are drawn toward weaving one or more Just Transition principles and practices into your Good Work\n\nMore information here. Registration is required and requests a contribution of up to $25 to help underwrite the cost of offering this workshop.

SUMMARY:Gallery 40: "Talisman" Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Talisman: The World of Magic \nThe exhibition explores the world of magic and dreams where boundaries between illusion and reality are fading into each other. \nWe want the visitor to escape reality and enter a space where class\, race\, gender\, and power politics are transcended\, and we are instead nurtured by the supernatural elements present in all cultures across distance and time. \nBecause from time-to-time we all need some form of talismanic protection. \nAs individuals\, but even as a collective\, as a community\, as a world aflame we need something greater than ourselves to protect us; perhaps from ourselves.

SUMMARY:Fall Kill Creative Works: Sarah Hussaini of Not Work Related
DESCRIPTION:Visiting Artist Series\nSUNDAY\, MARCH 16\, 2025.\n10:30am – 11:30am – Lecture and Q + A\n12pm – 2:00pm – Demonstration\n  \n\nABOUT THE ARTIST\nSarah Hussaini is a former architect with a master’s degree from Columbia University; she spent five years working as an architect before returning to ceramics. In 2017\, she embarked on a new project with the launch of her ceramics studio\, Not Work Related. Combining her technical architectural background with the handmade nature of ceramics\, Sarah creates intricate and meticulously patterned pieces that occupy a space between handmade and digitally designed. She seamlessly integrates 2D illustrations and 3D models to map intricate patterns onto her work. This fusion of disciplines results in highly detailed ceramic pieces that showcase her dedication to craftsmanship and artistic precision.\n\n\nLECTURE: THE WORKFLOW OF ART\, LABOR\, AND LIVELIHOOD\nOperating at the intersection of ceramics\, design\, and business\, Not Work Related is a contemporary ceramics studio committed to both precision craftsmanship and financial transparency. This lecture will address often overlooked aspects of creative labor\, examining both visible and invisible contributions to the work over the years. We will explore the complexities of quantifying artistic efforts and challenge the traditional taboo surrounding the financial motivations of artists\, acknowledging that creative expression and earning a living are intrinsically linked.\nDEMONSTRATION: SLIP CASTING MADE SIMPLE\nSlip casting has become an integral part of the Not Work Related studio\, during this demonstration Sarah will cover the basics of slip casting including the process of mold making\, securing a form\, creating a reservoir and the plaster mixing process. She will also bring a small cup mold to demonstrate how she ‘demolds’ her pieces. Together students will each make a one part mold of a small bowl. For the purpose of this class\, the object will be provided.\nWEBSITE\nYou can see more of Sarah’s work HERE\n\n\nGOOD TO KNOW\nAll artist lectures and demonstrations will take place at Fall Kill Clay Studio\, 485 Main Street\, Poughkeepsie.\nTickets are free\, and first come\, first served. If you reserve a ticket but are unable to attend please contact Jennaway\nWe appreciate your prompt arrival and ask that you silence your mobile devices for the duration of the presentation. \nLectures and demonstrations are for adults over 18 years old.

SUMMARY:Solidarity Civics: Balancing Resistance & Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Solidarity Civics: Balancing Resistance & Resilience\nMarch 20\, 6:00-7:30pm\nLocation: The GWI Greenhouse: 65 St James Street\, Kingston\, NY 12401 \nHow can we build grassroots power and community-led mutual support to ensure we stand in resistance and in solidarity? \nIn response to the avalanche of executive orders\, a raft of lawsuits has emerged as part of the resistance\, as institutions scramble to protect programs and people\, exposing the illegal nature of some of these orders. In their wake\, the immediate suspension of funding\, jobs\, and programs across the federal government have put immigrant rights\, abortion rights\, LGBTQIA+ rights at risk and have started the project of rescinding commitments to social equity\, racial justice\, free speech\, and environmental repair. \nIn the next community forum in this series\, we will focus on finding the balance between resistance and resilience. \n\nThis is a free event. Registration is required. \nINFO + REGISTRATION
