Please join us on Tuesday, 4/28 at 7PM for Panic Wisely: A Workshop with Ira J. Allen. We're facing an infopocalypse. Infopocalypse, or epistemic breakdown, is what happens when our shared apparatuses for sensemaking across distance and difference unravel. This workshop draws on psychologist Laura Noll's concept of "epistemic wellbeing" as a dynamic communal achievement, and on communication scholar Jeremy Engels' notion of "mindful democracy" as a practice for being together with both uncertainty and care, to share ways of navigating epistemic breakdown wisely.

We have a pop-up Creative Cafe on April 23rd at 5pm. This particular cafe will focus on sharing songs and collective singing. The Creative Cafe series was co-founded as a community arts education project in October 2024 in Bloomington, Indiana.

The Creative Cafe is a monthly series inspired by three main objectives:

-A desire to have dedicated spaces to honoring new residents and artists through performance and dialogue.

-A place for all artists within Bloomington to socialize and invent new means of collaboration and expression.

-Time and space of proactive community-planning and destigmatized conversations around migration in a country that has seen an overwhelming increase in xenophobia and anti-migrant sentiment.

Bring a song, an instrument, or your voice. We will have some lyric sheets, a keyboard, and some percussive instruments, but feel free to bring anything else you would like to bring! "

Revolutions of Our Times is an urgent declaration that advances an internationalism from below focused on people and movements as agents of our collective liberation.

We belong to a single transnational struggle—and we stand against an internationally organized elite. We know that if we remain isolated, we will achieve nothing. We have begun to weave a network of planetary connections from front lines to popular assemblies, from feminist strikes to resistance committees, from occupied roundabouts to occupied forests, and have discovered a common sensibility.

Revolutions of Our Times draws on the experience of uprisings taking place across the globe over the past two decades and sets out a vision for revolutionary internationalism.

Speakers:
Morteza is activist and independent researcher from Iran and a member of Roja collective.

Rindala is a Syrian member of The Peoples Want.

Roula is a writer and organizer working with migrant and refugee communities in the SWANA. She is the International Coordinator of Women in Migration Network (WIMN) and an award winning novelist.
