Three-day convening celebrating the recent publication of A Grammar Built with Rocks, edited by Shoghig Halajian and Suzy Halajian

Fri, Jan 23 at 7:00 PM
Various locations
literary / research
In the introduction to the publication, the editor...In the introduction to the publication, the editors write, “violence is never totalizing, but rather leaves marks of collective action and insurgent refusal.” Taking up this proposition, this convening centers histories of resilience and collective struggle while tracing how artistic practices respond to conditions of dispossession and ecological harm, alongside the narratives of crisis and development that shape material and symbolic forms of erasure.
Bringing together contributors and new interlocutors, the program expands on, and offers multiple points of entry into, the syntax of A Grammar Built with Rocks, foregrounding artistic and activist practices that engage questions of colonialism, ecology, and resistance. Composed of a screening, reading group, conversation, performance, and listening session, the weekend’s multilayered format honors the interdisciplinarity of the publication.
Screening: The Trace of the Land
Anthology Film Archives
Friday, January 23, 7pm
The Trace of the Land presents short moving-image works by artists working across disparate histories of dispossession and violence, from redlining in Chicago to French colonial rule in Algeria, the settler-colonial destruction of the Gaza Strip, Brazil’s military oppression of Indigenous communities, and more. With films by Basma al-Sharif, Julien Creuzet, Beatriz Santiago Muñoz, Christine Rebet, Cauleen Smith, and Ana Vaz.
Reading Group, Conversation, and Performances
Center for Art, Research and Alliances (CARA)
Saturday, January 24, 1–6pm
Inspired by Édouard Glissant’s theory of relational belonging, this program emphasizes interconnectivity among liberation struggles while remaining attentive to the specificity of place and history. Across disciplines and forms, the publication and program reflect a shared commitment to relational, cross-disciplinary exchange and collective modes of inquiry.
The day begins with a reading group facilitated by Amber Jamilla Musser that focuses on key concepts across the writings of Édouard Glissant and Suzanne Césaire. A conversation between Laura al-Tibi, Adam HajYahia, and Fawz Kabra then considers place-based methodologies developed by artists engaging landscapes shaped by ongoing colonial and ecological harm. The program concludes with a reading by Ryan C. Clarke, followed by a performance by Muyassar Kurdi. Throughout the day, a playlist of audio recordings selected by A Grammar Built with Rocks contributors can be experienced in the listening room.

Sunday, January 25, 11–1:30pm
In this workshop, artist and filmmaker Basma al-Sharif reflects on recent and earlier work, including her 2025 short film, Morgenkreis (Morning Circle) (2025). Centered on themes of invisible violence, dehumanization, and displacement, the workshop considers how domestic and civic architectures encode both historical legacies and present conditions. Al-Sharif examines how built environments register power, exclusion, and belonging, and how Western cultural frameworks often fail to recognize immigrants as integral to the societies they inhabit.

Olive Temple was the talk of the town in 2012. A member of the once-hip alt-lit community, she wrote fiction that acted as a veiled memoir of her life partying with celebrities and taking copious amounts of drugs. Now, she's divorced, broke, and hasn't written a word since. Her agent quits. Her famous friends are nowhere to be found, and she spends most of her time doom scrolling and getting drunk in her tiny New York apartment, living off her dwindling royalties. Desperate for money, she responds to a cryptic email offering to pay her an exorbitant amount for very little work. The job? Writing Walton Hanes' suicide note. Walton is an Olive Temple superfan and feels that only her voice can capture his final message to the world. But as they begin to work together, Olive learns there's much more to Walton's story than he's letting on. Soon, she finds herself ensnared in a web of lies and mystery where one false move could cost her what little she has left.
THE GHOSTWRITER is a play in three acts, approximately 80min long, featuring three actors and six characters. It zigzags between comedy and drama, and it tells a story of our dysfunctional relationship between the personas we project and the ones we keep hidden.

They are open to community members regardless of prior experience, and are held online or our studio, located at the Old American Can Factory (232 Third Street #E-303, in Gowanus, Brooklyn).
These workshops are a part of UDP’s broader mission as a literary arts organization to create affordable opportunities for writers, poets, and artists of all levels of experience to expand their skill sets and learn small press practices.

Can u please help support us?
We'd love it if you could send us a monthly tip that matches what you spend on Big Tech subscriptions. You may be paying monthly fees of $11.99 (Spotify), $14.99 (Amazon), or $17.99 (Netflix)—could you send a similar amount to us? Like carbon offset but it's big-tech-offset <3
That said!!! We deeply appreciate even a dollar or two here and there <3333 whatever you can give helps. Thanks for being part of our community and helping us keep Red Calendar alive.

We wanted to cordially enthusiastically kindly plate-full-of-cookies invite u to add events to the Calendar!
When u add events, think of it as mutual aid: helping maintain Red Calendar as a resource that empowers your community to divest from big tech <3
ANYONE/EVERYONE is welcome to add events -- whether it's an event you're hosting, or an event you saw and think other Red Calendar people might enjoy (as long as it's open to the public and being promoted publicly, of course) Yes, we screen all events. But we've accepted most submitted events -- as long as they're in the general Red Calendar spirit, not fascist, etc. Don't be shy!
In September 2020, AIA New York’s Board of Directo...In September 2020, AIA New York’s Board of Directors issued a statement calling on architects to no longer “design unjust, cruel or harmful spaces of incarceration within the current United States justice system, such as prisons, jails, detention centers, and police stations.”
It also announced that AIANY would “refrain from honoring work that it considers antithetical to the AIA Code of Ethics, which states that the works of architects should ‘enhance and facilitate human dignity and the health, safety, and welfare of the individual and the public.’”
On January 27th, having long abandoned its BLM-era pledges, AIANY is hosting a presentation at @centerforarch about the in-process Brooklyn jail’s “design and delivery approach,” featuring senior leadership of the firms and agencies responsible for its construction: @nycddc , @hoknetwork , and @aecom .
Join us for a picket of the event, with a focus on flyering guests as they enter and leave the 9:30–11:30am event. Let us make it loud and clear that New Yorkers reject the expropriation of public resources for the caging and immiseration of our neighbors!

Shot in the immediate aftermath of the Israeli Occ...Shot in the immediate aftermath of the Israeli Occupation Force’s (IOF) invasion of the eponymous camp in the midst of the Second Intifada, Bakri, who passed away in December at the age of 72, made the film to, as he says, present the world with “the Palestinian truth” about Jenin. The resulting film is a portrait of a people who expose the wanton disregard for human life inherent to the IOF, the hypocrisy of the so-called rules-based international order, and an eternal story of struggle and steadfastness. Its prescience, while shattering, is meant to be experienced collectively.
After the screening, stick around, as these events should, just as importantly, also function as an open forum for discussion. We are living against the backdrop of an escalating fascism on the domestic front; the Israeli government’s most grievous land grabs in the West Bank since 1967; Trump’s establishment of a Board of Peace that is to oversee Phase II of the so-called ceasefire in Gaza; and the rising of political tensions on nearly every corner of the planet. We must, as Frantz Fanon once urged us, “discuss and invent.” And, within our discussion and invention, we will be guided by that ubiquitous question: What is to be done?

The stories we tell, and those we don’t, have serious consequences for our reality and our future.
Through all means of communication, the Trump administration and its billionaire backers are manufacturing a false narrative about the history, people, and current reality of the United States to justify their racist, xenophobic, patriarchal, and colonial agenda for people in the US and across the world.
As we approach the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, the Trump administration and its billionaire backers are using this moment to launch an all-out attack on history and truth, intending to replace it with a false narrative that justifies their racist, xenophobic, patriarchal, and colonial agenda for people in the US and across the world.
They glorify the parts of history that serve their racist program today, while censoring the histories of heroic resistance, solidarity, and multiracial unity that shaped the people and history of the United States. They persecute those who tell the truth about the horrors of slavery and the fight that abolished it. They erase the history of Jim Crow and dismiss the millions who rose up to dismantle legal apartheid in this country. The examples are in the thousands.
This is a blatant attempt to weaponize a distorted version of US history to make their extreme right-wing project appear natural, popular, and uncontested. But their story is based on lies. Not only is their agenda completely and massively unpopular, their version of history is so manipulated that it is more fiction than fact.
It is up to us to expose these lies. We must become the arbiters of truth, and tell the stories of our people, our heroes, the millions who have fought oppression and exploitation and demanded a better world.
This seminar series is part of reclaiming that history. We will uncover just a fraction of the hidden and mostly unknown people’s rebellions that have shaped the history of the United States. These are the people on whose shoulders we stand, and these are the stories we need to know.
The battle over history is not a symbolic one. When we know the people who rose up before us—who organized across race, gender, and religion, who fought back and forced change— we gain the confidence and the certainty that we too can rise up and fight for a better world.
We are beyond excited to have Fred Moten read new ...We are beyond excited to have Fred Moten read new work alongside Rawya El Chab, Ammiel Alcalay and Sousan Hammad.

You're invited to join The Word is Change and the Kairos Center for this in-person book event for We Pray Freedom: Liturgies and Rituals from the Freedom Church of the Poor.
Together, we’ll gather for an evening of healing, remembrance, and collective action—lifting up the prayers, songs, and rituals that sustain our movements for justice.
A book of prayers, rituals, and liturgies that grows out of communities committed to abolishing poverty.
Prayer has long sustained movements for social change. Ritual gives shape to our desire for justice, and liturgy lends power to our work. In We Pray Freedom, we learn from activists and movement builders the songs, stories, and ritual practices that keep them going for the long haul. The Freedom Church of the Poor, called for by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., has existed in many forms; today it includes laborers, poor folks, pastors, organizers, and others bound together by a conviction: It does not have to be this way.

Since 2020, the direct action group Palestine Action has documented its operations to dismantle companies and infrastructure supplying weapons to the ongoing genocide in Gaza. In July of 2025, Palestine Action was labeled a terrorist organisation by the UK government. As a result, the film’s UK theatrical release was blocked and the directors removed the online version. It is currently forbidden to screen this film or to support Palestine Action in the UK.
After the film let’s come together to learn, strategize and escalate tactics against the imperialist war machine with Demil BK Navy Yard and Keegan Stephan.

This is part of a shibari-poetry series I began in October 2022 at a local kink temple. Once again we return to my beloved home base, @cypressinncafe, with the fourth installment.
Witness the freeform dance that is poetry and rope bondage. Poets will read original work as a shibari artist ties her model. Two performances at a time, two forms at once— what will you learn about yourself? Each other? In these in-between spaces, we reckon with the tender flow of “taboo”.
Rope and poetry are intimate and dynamic mediums; with this combination I seek to explore how we move, how we speak, how we tangle with vulnerability and unfurl. This is an exploration I believe is at the root of freedom: pleasure, undoing and openness of form.
We hope you enjoy!

Hearing Time in Silence is an immersive art organism that composes sound and silence, time and relation through auditory, visual, and bodily experience. Audience, performers, objects, media, light, sound, and silence function as equal agents, overlapping to form a living universe.
Through shifting time and space, audiences encounter multiple coexisting universes. Movement and stillness, live performance and media, sound and silence intertwine, prompting the question of where the universe one enters exists. The space functions as an expanded opera, a constantly transforming sensorial field in which presence, relation, and time are continuously reconfigured.
Hearing Time in Silence is a durational performance. Audience can enter and exit at any point throughout the performance time, 4–8pm on Friday and Saturday, Jan 30-31.

The Fire This Time is a radical reading series examining the intertwined histories of capitalism, racism, and colonialism across the Atlantic world hosted by Terrence Freeman. Through works of history, post-colonial studies, and revolutionary theory, we explore racial capitalism, the transatlantic slave trade, settler colonialism, and the long arc of BIPOC resistance. Reading the past not as memory but as strategy, the series invites participants to sharpen their political imagination and consider how historical struggles for liberation inform the movements of today.
Terrence Freeman is a historian and community activist from the South Bronx, who studies the histories of radical social movements in the mid-to-late twentieth century United States. The thesis he completed while a graduate student at NYU, For a Healthy and Community Controlled Bronx: White Lightning and the Fight Against Social Abandonment and Struggle for Neighborhood Socialism, investigates the intellectual contributions and health politics of White Lightning, a Bronx-based New Left organization of the early 1970s founded by former heroin addicts. Through his work as a historian, he aims to not only shed light on the underexplored histories of working class and BIPOC resistance, but also instrumentalize the insights of the past as a tool to inform and advance our contemporary struggles for justice and liberation.

Stillness is fake, always rotating on the planet's axis, always circling around the sun. History repeats itself with continuous and confounding sinuous waves of lifeforms.
How do we sense time? How does the pattern repeat itself? How do we embracing change within these feedback loops? With these questions, we ponder at the scale of trees, ecosystems, and planets. Together, we invite you to present work about this theme, "Confounding Continuums"

"An organism breathing: order, chaos, chance. You—..."An organism breathing: order, chaos, chance. You—part and whole, indivisible."
Hearing Time in Silence is an immersive art organism that composes sound and silence, time and relation through auditory, visual, and bodily experience. Audience, performers, objects, media, light, sound, and silence function as equal agents, overlapping to form a living universe.
Through shifting time and space, audiences encounter multiple coexisting universes. Movement and stillness, live performance and media, sound and silence intertwine, prompting the question of where the universe one enters exists. The space functions as an expanded opera, a constantly transforming sensorial field in which presence, relation, and time are continuously reconfigured.
Hearing Time in Silence is a durational performance. Audience can enter and exit at any point throughout the performance time, 4–8pm on Friday and Saturday, Jan 30-31.

On January 31st, 2026, LOOVE Annex welcomes Vance ...On January 31st, 2026, LOOVE Annex welcomes Vance Provey & The Truth Ensemble for an evening of free music, deep listening, and spontaneous composition.
The core of this ensemble was forged in the early 1980s, when Provey was teaching at Bennington College in the Black Music Division under Bill Dixon—a radical pedagogical and artistic environment that redefined composition, improvisation, and collective responsibility in sound. Drummer Dennis Warren’s first musical experience was at Antioch College with legendary pianist Cecil Taylor and drummer Andrew Cyrille before being enrolled at Bennington College, where he collided with trumpeter Vance Provey and fellow student, guitarist Tor Snyder. Pianist Eric Zinman was also a student of the Black Music Division, and a Bennington College graduate. Bassist Albey Balgochian, who toured with Cecil Taylor, has performed with Dennis since the 1990s, and group as a whole continues to perform in various settings.
In remembrance of Dixon’s recent centennial in late 2025, we celebrate insistence on autonomy, structural freedom, and music as a site of inquiry as embodied in the Truth Ensemble’s dedication to spontaneous composition.
"The key to humanity is in this music! The war of revenge and hatred must end. Improvisation is the art of the 21st Century. Improvisation contains the science of evolution and the natural chaos of the universe with all its potential. This music demonstrates our ancient roots and our future communications, swirling through our biochemical spheres and igniting our souls for the hope of love in humanity."
- Dennis Warren

This year this coincides with the Kabbalistic Mystical practice of Tu Bishvat: the Jewish new years for the trees.
We will gather together and explore trees and ecologies of the wooded areas of prospect park. We will explore some winter ID skills together, but with a special focus on using words and senses to observe. All in service of becoming better stewards of the very real forests we live in here in Lenapehoking/NYC, urban and intact alike, with special attention to the development plan threatening our beloved Vale of Cashmere.
There is so much to say about Tu Bishvat, reciprocity, anti z 1 0 n1 sm, sensuality and mysticism. I’ll leave it at that for now. No Jewish prayers will be recited collectively tho you are welcome to recite on yr own ♥️
On Imbolc it is also customary to notice changes and shifts happening from winter to spring, any time of thaw, meltings, trickles, buddings, sap rising, however small or early or subtle. We will be practicing our observational skills in service of this too.
You do not need to be of these lineages to join – all very welcome!
Some topics discussed:
-Winter Tree identification
-Mysticism (mostly from Jewish Kabbalistic lineage)
-ecosystem roles and maintenance
-Land stewardship
-The struggle around the development of the Vale of Cashmere
-Working with our senses
-Imbolc traditions
-Fungi factoids
-Fire (this will be at a legal designated area)
We will be eating tree fruit together. There will be some provided and some instructions on what fruit to bring. There will also be some hot tea provided. Please take care of any other food or hydration needs.

Curated and organized by Monica Mirabile, Open Movement is a free program open to all ages, abilities, and levels of experience that offers both space for self-guided movement practice and artist-led workshops. Here, participants are invited to move in whatever way they choose—stretching, drawing, dancing, rehearsing, and observing if they don’t feel called to move. Folks in the Open Movement community describe this environment as a sacred space for self-discovery, connection, and grounding towards personal and collective practices.
At 4pm, our program shifts to feature workshops guided by artists and practitioners. Each week, these sessions offer a unique opportunity for participants to engage in two hours of participatory practice, exploring a range of themes from movement techniques, to performance philosophies, wellness practices and beyond. Open Movement workshop facilitators are a part of our extended Performance Space network: many of these artists have been regular participants in Open Movement and have created or hosted programs in our theaters.
This season features workshops by Nhi Le Phuong, Evan Suzuki, Justine Pierre, Jerron Hermon,Madison Wada, Barnett Cohen, Coco Villa, Immanuel J, and more!
As part of our commitment to process-focused initiatives, throughout the year we also host WIP Feedback Front, a showcase of works in progress from artists, many of whom are part of the Open Movement community. Artists present their projects in a casual, supportive atmosphere to get feedback while the works are still being developed. Audience members are invited to share their responses anonymously, creating open exchange between creators and observers. This season WIP will be showcased on XXX whether you’re experienced or a newcomer. Our mission is to provide a welcoming space for curious-minds to reconnect, ground themselves, and expand their perspectives, wherever they may be on their journey.

We'd love it if you could send us a monthly tip that matches what you spend on Big Tech subscriptions. You may be paying monthly fees of $11.99 (Spotify), $14.99 (Amazon), or $17.99 (Netflix)—could you send a similar amount to us? Like carbon offset but it's big-tech-offset <3
That said!!! We deeply appreciate even a dollar or two here and there <3333 whatever you can give helps. Thanks for being part of our community and helping us keep Red Calendar alive.

In Sink or Burn, the year is 2121, and fascism has overthrown a once-thriving utopia. Amid the ashes of a fallen nation, Cheap Glitter—a queer, punk rock band—becomes the voice of resistance. As they tour across a fractured America, raising funds for the fight against a brutal regime, they navigate wildfires, sunken landscapes, and the terrifying laws of a collapsing society.
At the heart of their journey is CT, a lovelorn survivor whose romantic entanglement with a fellow bandmate—a survivor of a different war—complicates their quest for both personal healing and social revolution. As the band balances the weight of trauma with the urgency of their fight, they discover that love, however chaotic, may be their greatest weapon.
A punk rock anthem and a manifesto for the broken-hearted, Sink or Burn tells the story of a tortured artist’s evolution into a divine healer. Cristy Road Carrera, a punk rock icon and Latinx artist, weaves together individual survival with the broader struggle for liberation.

We're back after the loss of the Park Church Co-op and we're hosting a dance session on the first Wednesday of the month at the Prime Produce cooperatively-run event space.
With the lights out you can dance without worrying about ‘getting it right’. NLNL is ~60 minutes of party classics and tunes to get you moving. Bring a water bottle and comfortable clothes to dance in. Snacks and drinks are available for purchase from the cafe and donations $15 and above will receive $5 off any purchase.
NLNL offers a welcoming space for people to dance freely in a friendly, non-threatening, drug- and alcohol-free environment. With the lights dimmed, everyone can dance without worrying about their appearance. Please refrain from using phones on or around the dance floor. We hope you enjoy this opportunity to dance independently in the company of others. Talking is discouraged to enhance the experience.
Due to limited space, we kindly ask that you obtain a ticket in advance. Tickets are a $15 suggested donation. It is important to us that NLNL remains accessible so do not worry if you do not have the means—no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Folks will be admitted at the door until capacity is reached and cash donations are accepted.

What might we write in a first letter? How might we navigate the power dynamics that prisons create between those on the inside and the outside? What tensions exist between intimacy and instrumentality when it comes to prisoner correspondence? How might we navigate communication under intense surveillance and censorship without overly censoring ourselves?
During the workshop and to anchor the conversation, participants will also watch “What These Walls Won’t Hold,” a documentary that chronicles the organizing and relationships of people who came together beyond the separations created by incarceration, in response to the COVID-19 outbreak at San Quentin State Prison.

Thanks so much for being part of the Red Calendar ...Thanks so much for being part of the Red Calendar community!!!
This is a labor of love -- we spent hundreds of hours building this all from scratch out of a sense of urgency that we GOTTA be able to gather without big-tech-controlled social media as middlemen!
Can u please help support us?
We'd love it if you could send us a monthly tip that matches what you spend on Big Tech subscriptions. You may be paying monthly fees of $11.99 (Spotify), $14.99 (Amazon), or $17.99 (Netflix)—could you send a similar amount to us? Like carbon offset but it's big-tech-offset <3
That said!!! We deeply appreciate even a dollar or two here and there <3333 whatever you can give helps. Thanks for being part of our community and helping us keep Red Calendar alive.

The Fire This Time is a radical reading series examining the intertwined histories of capitalism, racism, and colonialism across the Atlantic world hosted by Terrence Freeman. Through works of history, post-colonial studies, and revolutionary theory, we explore racial capitalism, the transatlantic slave trade, settler colonialism, and the long arc of BIPOC resistance. Reading the past not as memory but as strategy, the series invites participants to sharpen their political imagination and consider how historical struggles for liberation inform the movements of today.
Terrence Freeman is a historian and community activist from the South Bronx, who studies the histories of radical social movements in the mid-to-late twentieth century United States. The thesis he completed while a graduate student at NYU, For a Healthy and Community Controlled Bronx: White Lightning and the Fight Against Social Abandonment and Struggle for Neighborhood Socialism, investigates the intellectual contributions and health politics of White Lightning, a Bronx-based New Left organization of the early 1970s founded by former heroin addicts. Through his work as a historian, he aims to not only shed light on the underexplored histories of working class and BIPOC resistance, but also instrumentalize the insights of the past as a tool to inform and advance our contemporary struggles for justice and liberation.

In some ways, continuing to organize workshops whe...In some ways, continuing to organize workshops when war is accelerating everywhere all at once, seemingly on every front imaginable, feels laughably inadequate.
And yet, in the midst of U.S. invasions of ever more countries, broad daylight kidnappings of heads of state, renewed nuclear stand-offs and accelerated murders and kidnappings of people off the streets, a tiny strip of brave land called g-a-z-a is still standing, a people who boldly ripped the mask off the face of imperialism two years ago and exposed the ugly truth of it for all the world to see.
In that corner of the world, the noble people of Gaza are still fighting for their land and have not yet given up the struggle for independence from U.S.-led imperialism and colonialism. There is much we need to change about our work and orientation as a collective as the terrain continues to shift, but we are still committed to our original intention of providing ongoing support for the Palestinian people as long as it is still needed.
However, we do not wish to inadvertently normalize the genocide by focusing on fundraising alone, as though to imply that providing survival funds to Palestinians is all we can do. As people who exist in the imperial core, our responsibilities to destroy this empire from within are paramount and the focus on material aid to the victims of *our* holocaust can become an easy bargaining chip that we use to rid us of our guilt.
We want to find a way to continue supporting Palestinians materially while being clear that we owe them, and all victim of our colonial and imperial wars, so much more than that. Our responsibilities here are steep and will require more than tipping some change out of our wallets every few weeks so that we can continue on our way stepping over third world corpses.
We will be making more announcements in the coming weeks about the changes we are making. In the meantime, we invite you to join our very talented friend, comrade, and teacher Priti Cox, for an online embroidery lesson where she will teach us how to “replace propaganda with testimony” using our own hands. All proceeds to the Sameer Project!

Curated and organized by Monica Mirabile, Open Movement is a free program open to all ages, abilities, and levels of experience that offers both space for self-guided movement practice and artist-led workshops. Here, participants are invited to move in whatever way they choose—stretching, drawing, dancing, rehearsing, and observing if they don’t feel called to move. Folks in the Open Movement community describe this environment as a sacred space for self-discovery, connection, and grounding towards personal and collective practices.
At 4pm, our program shifts to feature workshops guided by artists and practitioners. Each week, these sessions offer a unique opportunity for participants to engage in two hours of participatory practice, exploring a range of themes from movement techniques, to performance philosophies, wellness practices and beyond. Open Movement workshop facilitators are a part of our extended Performance Space network: many of these artists have been regular participants in Open Movement and have created or hosted programs in our theaters.
This season features workshops by Nhi Le Phuong, Evan Suzuki, Justine Pierre, Jerron Hermon,Madison Wada, Barnett Cohen, Coco Villa, Immanuel J, and more!
As part of our commitment to process-focused initiatives, throughout the year we also host WIP Feedback Front, a showcase of works in progress from artists, many of whom are part of the Open Movement community. Artists present their projects in a casual, supportive atmosphere to get feedback while the works are still being developed. Audience members are invited to share their responses anonymously, creating open exchange between creators and observers. This season WIP will be showcased on XXX whether you’re experienced or a newcomer. Our mission is to provide a welcoming space for curious-minds to reconnect, ground themselves, and expand their perspectives, wherever they may be on their journey.

Workshops/seminars are either free or affordably priced and are usually limited to 10 participants. They are open to community members regardless of prior experience, and are held online or our studio, located at the Old American Can Factory (232 Third Street #E-303, in Gowanus, Brooklyn).
These workshops are a part of UDP’s broader mission as a literary arts organization to create affordable opportunities for writers, poets, and artists of all levels of experience to expand their skill sets and learn small press practices. By keeping workshops either free or sliding scale, we also aim to help address inequities in arts education in New York City. In the long run, we hope this program expands the small press tradition and contributes to the sustainability of an alternative ecosystem for artistic production and distribution. You may also be interested in our volunteer Presse Days, an open invitation to community members to visit our studio, assist with the production of chapbooks and books, and learn bookmaking techniques from our staff.

We aim to create an inclusive, encouraging, and diverse environment to bring together Brooklyn's radio hackers, antenna experimenters, shortwave listeners, toroid winders, satellite chasers, and balloon launchers.
Come make some noise in the weird and wonderful medium of radio!
This is a masks optional event.

We're back after the loss of the Park Church Co-op and we're hosting a dance session on the first Wednesday of the month at the Prime Produce cooperatively-run event space.
With the lights out you can dance without worrying about ‘getting it right’. NLNL is ~60 minutes of party classics and tunes to get you moving. Bring a water bottle and comfortable clothes to dance in. Snacks and drinks are available for purchase from the cafe and donations $15 and above will receive $5 off any purchase.
NLNL offers a welcoming space for people to dance freely in a friendly, non-threatening, drug- and alcohol-free environment. With the lights dimmed, everyone can dance without worrying about their appearance. Please refrain from using phones on or around the dance floor. We hope you enjoy this opportunity to dance independently in the company of others. Talking is discouraged to enhance the experience.
Due to limited space, we kindly ask that you obtain a ticket in advance. Tickets are a $15 suggested donation. It is important to us that NLNL remains accessible so do not worry if you do not have the means—no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Folks will be admitted at the door until capacity is reached and cash donations are accepted.

You may also be interested in our volunteer Presse Days, an open invitation to community members to visit our studio, assist with the production of chapbooks and books, and learn bookmaking techniques from our staff.

Curated and organized by Monica Mirabile, Open Movement is a free program open to all ages, abilities, and levels of experience that offers both space for self-guided movement practice and artist-led workshops. Here, participants are invited to move in whatever way they choose—stretching, drawing, dancing, rehearsing, and observing if they don’t feel called to move. Folks in the Open Movement community describe this environment as a sacred space for self-discovery, connection, and grounding towards personal and collective practices.
At 4pm, our program shifts to feature workshops guided by artists and practitioners. Each week, these sessions offer a unique opportunity for participants to engage in two hours of participatory practice, exploring a range of themes from movement techniques, to performance philosophies, wellness practices and beyond. Open Movement workshop facilitators are a part of our extended Performance Space network: many of these artists have been regular participants in Open Movement and have created or hosted programs in our theaters.
This season features workshops by Nhi Le Phuong, Evan Suzuki, Justine Pierre, Jerron Hermon,Madison Wada, Barnett Cohen, Coco Villa, Immanuel J, and more!
As part of our commitment to process-focused initiatives, throughout the year we also host WIP Feedback Front, a showcase of works in progress from artists, many of whom are part of the Open Movement community. Artists present their projects in a casual, supportive atmosphere to get feedback while the works are still being developed. Audience members are invited to share their responses anonymously, creating open exchange between creators and observers. This season WIP will be showcased on XXX whether you’re experienced or a newcomer. Our mission is to provide a welcoming space for curious-minds to reconnect, ground themselves, and expand their perspectives, wherever they may be on their journey.

The amateur radio hobby has something for everyone, from Morse code to modern digital modes. Bring projects you're working on, gear to fix, problems that puzzle you, outings you'd like to organize, or just yourself to meet & greet your friendly local hams. Drop by the #n2ycr channel in Discord any time to say hi.
You do not need to be a member of Resistor to be a member of the club, nor do you need to be a licensed amateur radio operator (though of course we hope you'll become licensed with our help).
We aim to create an inclusive, encouraging, and diverse environment to bring together Brooklyn's radio hackers, antenna experimenters, shortwave listeners, toroid winders, satellite chasers, and balloon launchers.
Come make some noise in the weird and wonderful medium of radio!
This is a masks optional event.

This is an unprecedented crime against a sovereign nation and a warning of how far this administration is willing to go. We will show up as people in the United States to make one thing unmistakably clear: we will not accept the kidnapping of the Presidents of sovereign countries in our name.

In some ways, continuing to organize workshops whe...In some ways, continuing to organize workshops when war is accelerating everywhere all at once, seemingly on every front imaginable, feels laughably inadequate.
And yet, in the midst of U.S. invasions of ever more countries, broad daylight kidnappings of heads of state, renewed nuclear stand-offs and accelerated murders and kidnappings of people off the streets, a tiny strip of brave land called g-a-z-a is still standing, a people who boldly ripped the mask off the face of imperialism two years ago and exposed the ugly truth of it for all the world to see.
In that corner of the world, the noble people of Gaza are still fighting for their land and have not yet given up the struggle for independence from U.S.-led imperialism and colonialism. There is much we need to change about our work and orientation as a collective as the terrain continues to shift, but we are still committed to our original intention of providing ongoing support for the Palestinian people as long as it is still needed.
However, we do not wish to inadvertently normalize the genocide by focusing on fundraising alone, as though to imply that providing survival funds to Palestinians is all we can do. As people who exist in the imperial core, our responsibilities to destroy this empire from within are paramount and the focus on material aid to the victims of *our* holocaust can become an easy bargaining chip that we use to rid us of our guilt.
We want to find a way to continue supporting Palestinians materially while being clear that we owe them, and all victim of our colonial and imperial wars, so much more than that. Our responsibilities here are steep and will require more than tipping some change out of our wallets every few weeks so that we can continue on our way stepping over third world corpses.
We will be making more announcements in the coming weeks about the changes we are making. In the meantime, we invite you to join our very talented friend, comrade, and teacher Priti Cox, for an online embroidery lesson where she will teach us how to “replace propaganda with testimony” using our own hands. All proceeds to the Sameer Project!

In a remote Chinese village, a farming family surv...In a remote Chinese village, a farming family survived wars, political upheaval, and famine. Persecution and hardship eventually forced the family to scatter. Against the backdrop of China’s rapid urbanization, the filmmaker sets out to unearth her family’s enduring bond with this long-forgotten village, hidden deeply in the vast mountain range of Loess Plateau.
Infused with performance, poetry, and animation, the film constructs a living archive of oral history and community theater. Summoning the past into the present, May the Soil Be Everywhere chronicles China’s history of war, famine, and rapid urbanization through the lens of four generations in one family. We invite you to gather and meditate on familial history, heritage, soil, and community liberation.
Followed by a Q&A with filmmaker Yehui Zhao and artist Walis Johnson.
Red Calendar is an arts and action calendar that helps NYC gather without
big tech middlemen. Managed by a team of editors, the Calendar also
encourages cross-pollination among NYC's leftist/arts/culture communities.
Anyone can add events for free, pending editor approval!
Red Calendar is big-tech-free—no Meta, no AWS, no GCal. Each day's
events reorder when you refresh and each event, when expanded, has its own
sharable url. We are called Red Calendar because we wanted a color, and
this was the shortest (and cheapest) url we could find that incorporated
"calendar" and a color.
This is a labor of love. Countless hours have gone into
building/maintaining the site—and none of us are rich kids or make
much money. Could you
please donate?
