SUMMARY:Crafting Safer Spaces - Discussion
DESCRIPTION:This will be an ongoing event\, each first Thursday of the month\, to create better accountability processes within the space\, and to create more accountability among the community. In the effort of maintaining the Alternative Library as a safer space\, we will be discussing practices and protocols of the space\, and exploring what engaged people can do to actively advocate for folks who have suffered from\, or are targets for\, sexual harassment and assault. A secondary function of this time may be to discuss holding safer space for marginalized groups of all kinds\, including discussions about how to combat racism\, sexism\, homophobia\, transphobia\, systemic oppression\, and the like in the Alt Lib and other connected venues and art spaces in the community. \nHere is the current Alt Lib policy on safer space \nSafer Space

SUMMARY:Rebel Worker Movie: Who Bombed Judi Bar
DESCRIPTION:Whatcom/Skagit IWW presents the monthly Rebel Worker Movie on the fourth Wednesday of each month. \nWho Bombed Judi Bar (2012): January 24th\, 2018 \nJudi Bari and Darryl Cherney were falsely arrested for car-bombing themselves on May 24\, 1990 while on an Earth First! musical organizing tour for Redwood Summer. They sued the FBI for violations of the First Amendment\, claiming the FBI knew they were innocent but arrested them to try to silence them. Having survived the bomb but now stricken by cancer\, Judi Bari\, a leader of the movement to save California’s old growth redwoods\, gives her on-camera\, deathbed testimony about the attempt on her life and her colorful organizing history with the radical environmental movement Earth First. \nPlease bring a $5 donation to support the IWW organizing fund.

SUMMARY:Cult Film Night w/ Arrington de Dionyso and Benjamin Bennett
DESCRIPTION:Each Wednesday night the Alternative Library hosts a film screening\, usually focused on cult classics or art films. For this instillation\, we’ll be showing the film “Reak: Trance Music and Possession in West Java” by director\, Arrington de Dionyso\, who will be in attendance\, and will also be performing a set of improvised music under the moniker\, This Saxophone Kills Fascists\, alongside percussionist Benjamin Bennet.\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrington_de_Dionyso \n— \nPreceding the film\, Benjamin Bennett will be performing a set of solo percussion music. Benjamin Bennett has worked as an improvising percussionist for 10 years\, touring North America and Europe as a soloist\, in various ensembles\, and ad-hoc collaborations. He developed a unique approach to percussion which took the lineage of free-jazz\, free-improvisation\, Berlin reductionism\, and extended technique playing as its foundation. In searching for an expanded sonic palette\, and more fluid movement between various techniques\, he distilled the drumset into a small collection of drumheads\, stretched membranes\, and other objects which offered a wide variety of unconventional sounds from very few materials\, which could be rearranged into different combinations during a performance. This aesthetic development also translated to a practical advantage\, in that this setup was small enough to fit into a backpack\, freeing him from using a car to transport heavy percussion gear. He began touring by bus and bicycle\, even completing a 7-day\, 7-show bicycle tour through New England.  \nContinuing on this path of aesthetic and practical dematerialization\, or doing more with less\, he has found ways to extend his performance practice into movement\, voice\, and video. While these newer outgrowths are a result of a radical and perhaps esoteric interpretation of the history of music\, they have proven to be readable and accessible outside of the sphere of music. \nIn 2014\, Bennett began a YouTube series entitled “Sitting and Smiling”\, in which he sits cross-legged on the floor\, smiling directly at the camera without moving\, for four hours at a time. It can be viewed live\, and is recorded for playback. His channel went viral in January of 2015\, creating an internet/media buzz and getting coverage from The Atlantic\, VICE\, Gawker\, TechTimes\, and other outlets. It was live-streamed at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia\, and has received more than 11 million views worldwide. \nBenjamin tours actively from his home base in Philadelphia\, where he also continues his internet-based performances. \nRSVP and more info – https://www.facebook.com/events/2011893792432975/
