We Pedal Uphill

conoro1991 — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 08:38:21 +0000

The critically acclaimed film created by Roland Tec will screen at The Vintage Theater!

After the second election of George W. Bush, Writer/Director Roland Tec began taking notes. Clipping news stories from the country he saw transforming before him, Tec let his imagination roam where the headlines left off. And so were born the 13 vignettes that make up this penetrating look at a country lost in a haze of post-catastrophic neurosis. From the PR handlers scouring the redwood forest for the perfect spot for a presidential photo op to the gay teenage son of a right-wing politician to the hurricane that brought so many of vastly different backgrounds together (albeit too briefly), the characters fleshed out in this tapestry of modern American life will haunt us for years and make us wonder what has become of “The Land of the Free.”For more information on this film please click here!

August 13th 2010 at 7:00 PM / Suggested Donation of $5.00 (those who can give more or less are encouraged to attend)!

First Friday: Saranton

conoro1991 — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 22:12:31 +0000

August 2010 First Friday will “unwrap” its latest and without a doubt most intense art project ever – a large scale installation with pieces and concepts from various local artists – it is….

It’s about taking down the “metaphoric walls” which hold up the glass ceiling that have prevented so many from reaching the top. Throughout a male dominated Euro-Centric Art History, many marginalized artists who were/are prevented the right to be included…in fact, many have been left out of history & it’s text books. THE GLADfresh MANTRA is one that is “clear” on this “leftover history”; it accepts and acknowledges the walls are a reality for many: 1. Racism 2. Classism 3. Sexism & the last but not the least( because it allows the other three to form the box to contain “other” in)…THAT 4th WALL IS: FEAR!

In the 21st Century we are “CLEAR” as to who, what, why, when, and where people were left out…it doesn’t mean they aren’t worthy LEFTOVERS!!! Beneath all the wrap there really is something worth savoring!!!So KEEP WRAPPING -word

Not sure you understand? Then come on August 6th and all will be made CLEAR!

First Friday (August 6th 2010) is free and open to the public. Starting at 6:00 pm / reFREShments will be served!

Saranton in the works...(it will UNWRAP August 6th, will you be there?)
