If you’re in NYC this weekend, you can come see Elle and I give two talks at the Next Hackers on Planet Earth conference on Friday night and then at Bluestockings books on Saturday as part of the This is Forever series on Autonomous politics. Then, we’re heading to Chiapas, Mexico to teach part of the Hemispheric Institute for Performance and Politics’ summer class on Art and Resistance.
More details about all of those events are here: Our talk at The Next Hope | Hacktivism Workshop at the HEMI in Chiapas
Also, Emily Hicks recently announced that she’s going to be teaching my book with Barbara Fornssler [powell's] in her fall course at SDSU “Theory from the Street”! I’m so excited to see how it goes, and I’ll also be using it in my Gender and Sexuality in Art class at UCSD. I love Emily, she’s so warm and brilliant. Every time I talk to her or get an email from her is a wonderful experience in itself. She also announced a parallel exhibition called Complexity Fluxus Exhibition which is open for submissions and sounds really interesting. Check it out at Evolver, which has a beautiful quote at the top, which I loved so much I’ll just quote it here:
“Banish the word ’struggle’ from your attitude and your vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration. We are the ones we have been waiting for.” — Hopi elders
