QUEER MIGRATIONS

Migration has been crucial to the formation and fostering of many queer
communities in the United States; however, population movement has only
recently come into prominence in queer studies in this country and
internationally. This series of seminars will introduce the participants
to this dynamic field of scholarship through a discussion of case studies
from the past and present. Our readings will include essays by John
D’Emilio, Eithne Lubheid, Adi Kuntsman, Kath Weston, Susana Pe=F1a and
others as well as the illustrated autobiography/graphic testimonial
Sexilio/Sexile  by Jaime Cortez. Our main objective is to understand
the importance and interaction of sexuality with traditional as well as
emerging themes such as ethnic/racial assimilation, transnationalism, and
homeland politics.

The free reading group will meet at the LGBT Community Center, 208 West
13th Street, in room 101 from 6 to 8 PM on the first Monday of each month
from June to August.  To RSVP and obtain a course reading packet
contact CLAGS by phone (212-817-1955) or by email (clags AT gc.cuny.edu).
CLAGS strives to make all of its events accessible to our members. ASL
interpretation can be provided for any CLAGS event if requested 10 or

The Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies (CLAGS) and Visual AIDS

Present

AIDS/ART/WORK

Friday, May 30th, 2008
9:30 AM-5:00 PM
The Graduate Center
The City University of New York
365 Fifth Avenue (between 34 and 35 Street)
New York, NY 10016
Rooms 9206/9207

This one-day conference will explore the pasts, presents, and futures of
AIDS art, AIDS activism, and AIDS prevention, and the connections between
them.  In a series of panels and a culminating roundtable,
AIDS/Art/Work will look at the often productive, sometimes uneasy
relationships between art inspired by AIDS and HIV/AIDS prevention,
focusing on the following concerns:

1. An AIDS Art Movement?
How is AIDS art and AIDS activism historicized and how has the process of
archiving both the activism and the cultural production changed it? What
are the processes and purposes of documenting what is essentially
ephemeral from an art historical perspective or from the perspective of
the history of social movements? As grassroots responses became
institutionalized what happened to the art? Is the institution (i.e. the
museum, the university, the archive) the new movement?

Robert Atkins
Alexandra Juhasz
David Roman

 2.  Looking at current contemporary art
Can AIDS activism and "AIDS art" be part of a legacy for
younger, queer artists? What changes when the work is brought from the
street into the classroom? How do younger artists and art historians
reference AIDS art in work that is politicized around the pandemic now?
What is the relationship between so called avant-garde or conceptual art
and representational art within an "AIDS art" framework? Can we
think of "utility" in ways that art isn’t usually called upon
to produce?

Richard Sawdon-Smith
Julia Bryan-Wilson
Derek Jackson
Jean Carlomusto

3. Collaborations - problems and possibilities
What is the history and efficacy or need from HIV-prevention work? How
have artists or how can artists work to create useful or effective
campaigns? How should these collaborations be fostered? How do we define
effectiveness in prevention? Has cultural production changed
post-HAART?  What threats remain and what work needs to be
done?

Paul Sendziuk
Julie Davids
Patrick "Pato" Hebert
David Gere

4. Roundtable
An opportunity to review the day’s discussions and solicit meaningful
responses from the audience. In addition, conference themes may be
addressed including:

How did AIDS change the visual art?
What role can artists play in health promotion and HIV/AIDS
prevention?
What is AIDS art now? What does it look like

Marilyn Martin
Jim Hubbard
Edwin Ramoran
Ivan Monforte

Subject: [JusticeCommittee-NCPRR] Up the ANTE! Police Violence on Latinos
and Immigrants

UP THE ANTE!
A Call to Latinos & ALL People of Color Who Want to End Police
Violence
Tuesday May 13th, & May 27th from 6:30pm - 8:30pm
105 East 22nd Street 4th Fl. (corner of Park Avenue South and 22nd
Street)
6/N/R train to 23rd Street

As we know, police violence is not just a Black issue: it affects all
communities of color. If we are to truly stop police violence, we must
build a broad-based, multi-racial movement.  The Justice Committee
invites all members of the Latino community and other people of color to
attend these meetings to discuss how we can build such as
movement.

If you are interested in getting involved, but cannot attend a meeting,
you can also call us at 212-614-5343 or email us at justicecommittee {AT}
gmail.com.=E2=80=A8 =E2=80=A8
Organized by the Justice Committee
*** PLEASE NOTE: The Justice Committee’s General Meetings take place the
2nd Tuesday of every month.

***************************************************************************=
****************************************
Justice Committee’s Mission:
The Justice Committee (JC) is a Latina/Latino-led organization dedicated
to building a movement against police violence and systemic racism in New
York City. Our organizing strategies include leadership development,
political education, base-building and direct action, as well as resource
development and service provision to meet the immediate needs of victims
and their families. Recognizing that true power can only be exercised by
unified communities, we prioritize developing the leadership of both
youth and elders. We also prioritize building strategic alliances with
other anti-racist, immigrant and people of color-led organizations to
build a broad-based movement for social justice in New York
City.

What We Do:

CASE SUPPORT: VICTIMS & SURVIVORS: Volunteer to support and
strategize with family members and individuals who have been harassed,
attacked or lost a loved one at the hands of racist, trigga happy NYPD
officers.

COPWATCH PROJECT: We need volunteers to join street teams that observe
police officer as they abusively patrol our communities and educate
community members on their rights when approached by law
enforcement.

BLOCK THE SHOT: Youth Initiative, WILL ADD TOMORROW

COMMUNITY OUTREACH: Pick up some KNOW YOUR RIGHTS INFORMATION at the
meeting and begin handing the information out in your community.
(educating community members on their rights is an on going effort, your
support is needed)=E2=80=A8

The Immigrant Gulag - Death, Detention & the American Way

Roberto Lovato, Jean Montrevil, Aarti Shahani & Others TBA
The chilling front page report in the New York Times, May 5th, 2008,
of the 66 people who died while under detention by Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (ICE) and its private subcontractors detail a
moral and political crisis- and one that will worsen without loud denunciation.

More detainees have died while in custody of ICE than died in Abu
Ghraib and Guantanamo combined. Yet, the devaluation of the lives of
immigrants, by politicians, media personalities and others, threatens
to diminish the the neglect and violence they experience while in detention.

Join our panel of human rights lawyers, activists and detainees as we
investigate what’s happening inside America’s newest gulag, its
immigrant prisons.

Roberto Lovato is a writer on immigrant issues with The Nation, the
Huffington Post, and other publications. Jean Montrevil, a Haitian
national greencard holder who has been detained on several occasions,
works with the Brooklyn-based immigrant rights organization Families
for Freedom and is a founding member of the New York Sanctuary
Coalition. Aarti Shahani, whose father was a detainee, is a founder
and board member of Families for Freedom.

4-SESSION CLASS BEGINS
Toward a Politics of Caring & Community

Lisa Maya Knauer & Others TBA
The women’s movement proclaimed that the personal was political, but
it’s also true that politics can, or should be, very personal. There
is often a disjuncture between our political and intellectual
engagement, and the challenges posed by jobs, families (or the lack
thereof) and the demands of caring for children or elders, and
anxieties about our own aging. How can we integrate our political and
personal selves? How can social change movements encourage community,
belonging, and an ethics of caring? This 4- session class will
explore a variety of radical and feminist perspectives.
Sliding scale: $45-$65

The first session of a 10-week study group Workingclass Resistance to
Fascism had a lively discussion on the six essential characteristics
that define fascism. Next week, Monday, May 19 we will review these
points. We will also examine the role of big businesses in Germany
and Italy in the 1930s and their relationship to the parties of
Hitler and Mussolini. We meet at 7:30pm at Freedom Hall, 113 W. 128th
St. in Harlem. Come at 7:00pm to share snacks for a $5 donation. For
info, call 212-222-0633 or
email fsp AT nyct.net. See you Monday!

NURTURING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Green Roofs:
A silver bullet for New York City’s environmental challenges?
A piece of the puzzle?
Or just another sustainability buzzword?

8:00 =96 8:30 Coffee and Registration
8:30 =96 8:40 Introduction by the Moderator
Daniel Bowman Simon, LEED AP, NYC Department of Environmental
Protection
8:40 - 10:00 Presentations by the Panelists
Dr. Cynthia E. Rosenzweig, NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies
Dr. Paul Mankiewicz, The Gaia Institute
Ernest Tollerson, Metropolitan Transportation Authority

10:00 =96 10:30 Questions and Answers

New York City is faced with the threat of rising sea levels, escalating
energy prices, increased air pollution,
heat waves, combined sewer overflow, and intense flooding events. Green
buildings have become a
mainstream solution to mitigating these threats. Green roofs in
particular have been hailed as a solution to
many problems, yet they are not perceived as the most economical approach
to any one challenge.
The panelists will address the science behind green roofs, the process of
designing and constructing green
roofs, regulatory and financial issues related to such construction, and
governmental initiatives that could
foster widespread green roof implementation, if proven economically
viable on the whole.

Subject: [JusticeCommittee-NCPRR] Up the ANTE! Police Violence on Latinos
and Immigrants

UP THE ANTE!
A Call to Latinos & ALL People of Color Who Want to End Police
Violence
Tuesday May 13th, & May 27th from 6:30pm - 8:30pm
105 East 22nd Street 4th Fl. (corner of Park Avenue South and 22nd
Street)
6/N/R train to 23rd Street

As we know, police violence is not just a Black issue: it affects all
communities of color. If we are to truly stop police violence, we must
build a broad-based, multi-racial movement.  The Justice Committee
invites all members of the Latino community and other people of color to
attend these meetings to discuss how we can build such as
movement.

If you are interested in getting involved, but cannot attend a meeting,
you can also call us at 212-614-5343 or email us at justicecommittee {AT}
gmail.com.=E2=80=A8 =E2=80=A8
Organized by the Justice Committee
*** PLEASE NOTE: The Justice Committee’s General Meetings take place the
2nd Tuesday of every month.

****************************************
Justice Committee’s Mission:
The Justice Committee (JC) is a Latina/Latino-led organization dedicated
to building a movement against police violence and systemic racism in New
York City. Our organizing strategies include leadership development,
political education, base-building and direct action, as well as resource
development and service provision to meet the immediate needs of victims
and their families. Recognizing that true power can only be exercised by
unified communities, we prioritize developing the leadership of both
youth and elders. We also prioritize building strategic alliances with
other anti-racist, immigrant and people of color-led organizations to
build a broad-based movement for social justice in New York
City.

What We Do:

CASE SUPPORT: VICTIMS & SURVIVORS: Volunteer to support and
strategize with family members and individuals who have been harassed,
attacked or lost a loved one at the hands of racist, trigga happy NYPD
officers.

COPWATCH PROJECT: We need volunteers to join street teams that observe
police officer as they abusively patrol our communities and educate
community members on their rights when approached by law
enforcement.

BLOCK THE SHOT: Youth Initiative, WILL ADD TOMORROW

COMMUNITY OUTREACH: Pick up some KNOW YOUR RIGHTS INFORMATION at the
meeting and begin handing the information out in your community.
(educating community members on their rights is an on going effort, your
support is needed)=E2=80=A8
