SUMMARY:Black Box Presents: Sunset Seduction
DESCRIPTION:South Philly Autonomous Cinema is pleased to present Sunset Seduction by Charles de Agustin! Screening followed by discussion!\n\n\nBlack Box Presents: Sunset Seduction\nIn Partnership with South Philly Autonomous Cinema\n \n3/6 FREE Doors at 7:30pm\nSouth Philly Autonomous Cinema is pleased to present\, in collaboration with Vox Populi’s Black Box Presents Program\, Sunset Seduction by Charles de Agustin on Thursday\, March 6\, 2025. Doors at 7:30pm\, screening at 8pm\, followed by an extended audience discussion with the artist and organizers. \nSunset Seduction is an evolving project centered on a 45-minute film alongside site-specific contracts and discussions\, starring a liberal philanthropist who yearns for his next fling with radical politics. Made as the Palestine solidarity movement escalated in 2024\, the film unfolds in essayistic fragments considering ideas of freedom\, violence\, and the seductive capture of revolutionary ideology.  \nNonprofit organizations—even those driven by equity\, decolonization\, abolition—are tied to an unsustainable infrastructure that consistently creeps toward establishment liberalism. Sunset Seduction revitalizes the spirit of INCITE’s The Revolution Will Not Be Funded (2007); emphasizes collective grassroots action in the popular imagination\, which may include siphoning and subverting philanthropic resources\, far beyond electoral politics and do-gooder grantmaking; and works toward a “more radical form of complicity” (Moten & Harney). \nWith influence from Faye R. Gleisser’s notion of “risk work” and histories of the contract as artistic intervention\, a scene in the film explains that the artist will work with each exhibiting institution’s staff to enact a “genuine and disruptive act of treason against the socioeconomic interests of the ruling class” in order for the work to be presented\, intending to materialize the particular responsibilities of cultural workers in the global north. \nCharles de Agustin is an artist based in Brooklyn who primarily makes films. Rooted in essay and diary cinema alongside an expanded practice in writing and performance\, his work considers ideas around critique\, access\, intimacy\, and capture\, often in the context of cultural institutions. Solo and group presentations 2021-25 include Alternative Film/Video (Belgrade)\, Ann Arbor Film Festival (Michigan)\, Arts + Literature Laboratory (Madison)\, Gene Siskel Film Center (Chicago)\, Kassel Dokfest (Germany)\, Maysles Documentary Center (New York)\, Revolutions per Minute Festival (Boston)\, Saigon Experimental Film Festival (Vietnam)\, South London Gallery (England)\, Spectacle (Brooklyn)\, XINEMA (Vancouver)\, among others. de Agustin has a BFA from Rutgers University and an MFA from the University of Oxford. He has received grants from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts\, NYSCA\, Brooklyn Arts Council\, and the Elephant Trust. His artistic practice is mutually informed by experiences as an organizer\, educator\, and programmer. \n \nSouth Philly Autonomous Cinema is a collectively-run organization screening leftist\, queer\, and rare films in South Philadelphia. \n \nAbout Black Box Presents \nMade possible by the William Penn Foundation\, Black Box Presents is a yearlong series transforming our Black Box Performance Theater into a platform for 12 community arts organizations\, each curating their own monthly event. This initiative amplifies experimental music\, dance\, film\, and spoken word while ensuring free\, accessible programming that strengthens Philadelphia’s creative networks. \nAbout William Penn FoundationThe William Penn Foundation\, founded in 1945 by Otto and Phoebe Haas\, is committed to expanding access to resources and opportunities that promote a more vital and just city and region for all. We do this through funding programs in the Philadelphia region in arts and culture\, children and families\, democracy and civic initiatives\, environment and public space\, and workforce training and services.

SUMMARY:Pomological: Poison Apples and Fallen Fruit
DESCRIPTION:Through discussion and producing fruit leather from salvaged fallen apples\, this workshop ruminates on apples in mythical\, cultural\, and\n\n\nPomological: Poison Apples and Fallen Fruit presented by Biomaterials Working Group in partnership with The Philadelphia Orchard Project \n \nWe are eating apples in the end of times. Through discussion and production of fruit leather from salvaged fallen apples\, this workshop ruminates on apples in mythical\, cultural\, and biological contexts. Apple leather is presented in simultaneous processing stages: cooking\, dehydrating\, and as a bioplastic material within art practices. \nThis workshop explores apples as symbols of knowledge\, tickets to (un)paradise\, fairy tale poisons and folk remedies\, and sci-fi symbionts\, grafted from clones. This seemingly simple\, homely fruit unfolds into complex layers – how do we parse inherited stories around sustenance\, medicine\, and colonial forestry? Through food preservation\, what future are we planning? \nThis event is free and open to the public\, registration is highly encouraged as space is limited. Accessibility information for the POP Learning Orchard will be updated shortly! \nAbout The Biomaterials Working Group \nThe Biomaterials Working Group (BWG)\, is an arts research collective based in the part of Lenapehoking called Philadelphia. BWG members include Marcellus Armstrong\, Jazmyn Crosby\, Theo Loftis\, Cecilia McKinnon\, and Elizabeth Shores. As artists\, educators\, and researchers\, we share an interest in exploring sustainable alternatives to plastics and toxic materials conventionally used in studio art practices\, as well as a broad curiosity about the transformative potential of everyday materials used in unconventional ways. Our various previous avenues of exploration include: algae-based bioplastics\, eggshell concrete\, fermentation\, natural pigments\, kombucha leather\, saltwater radio antennae\, and more. \nRead more about Teaching and the End of Times

SUMMARY:Creative Economies Workshop: Networking for Artists
DESCRIPTION:“What do you do?” – Networking Strategies for Artists\n\n\n“What do you do?” – Networking Strategies for Artists \nAs artists\, we are often asked to talk about our artwork and these conversations can often have direct professional consequences. Whether it be a future collaborator\, curator\, a visiting artist\, or someone who can directly support your work\, there are crippling moments where you will have to not only introduce yourself\, but discuss your work. These situations can lead to the most wonderful of collaborations\, friendships\, and often change our career trajectories. But\, it can someimtnes be more difficult than creating the work itself. How many times has someone asked you “What do you do?” and you left the conversation feeling lackluster? More people struggle with these issues than you can imagine. It’s how to thrive in those situations with a Strategical Social Confidence\, and in this interactive workshop we will both share and practice some of the tools we’ve gathered along the way. \nLearning Outcomes: \n\nHow to discuss your work.\nWhat to say when you meet someone you admire.\nHow to get to the thing (your ask\, project\, etc)\nDiscovering and maintaining cponnections\nDismantling ‘Networking’\n\nThis is the third in four workshop series funded by the City of Philadelphia’s Commerce Department. \nInstructors: \n \nVictor Vieira-Branco is a vibraphonist\, improviser\, and blue-collar composer-performer\, based in Philadelphia\, with much of his life spent in São Paulo\, Brazil. He currently leads a trio called Bark Culture\, as well as performing and contributing to other situations often.

SUMMARY:Mobilizing and Creating Coalitions Through Story Circles
DESCRIPTION:Led by Lizania Cruz / part of Teaching at the End of Times\n\n\nMobilizing & Building Coalitions led by artist Lizania Cruz \nIn this workshop participants will learn how to use story circles as a way of uniting\, mobilizing\, and honoring the histories of immigrant communities. And as a framework for creating coalitions based on different expressions of power: power within\, power with\, and power to. The goals of this workshop are to understand the framework of story circles and how to put it into praxis\, to draw connections between the stories shared and how these could become tools of organizing by creating “power with\,” “power to\,” and “power within.” \nWater and snacks will be provided during the event and food will be served towards the end of the workshop. \nRead more about Teaching and the End of Times and the workshop leader \nSee the full schedule of related events here

SUMMARY:Divine Seeds
DESCRIPTION:Led by Tiny Farm Wagon / part of Teaching at the End of Times\n\n\nDivine Seeds led by Tiny Farm Wagon \nIn her essay\, “Rootedness: The Ancestors as Foundation”\, Writer Toni Morrison argued that because Black people were disregarded\, our ways of knowing were disregarded. Because Black life is often depicted as pathological\, we create rituals to honor the wellness practices inherent in Black culture. Join Tiny Farm Wagon for seed planting and collage activities. We’ll put our hands in the soil\, set intentions\, and create art with quotes from Black self-help/wellness gurus\, and images from Black culture\, Black history\, and nature.  \nWater and snacks will be provided during the event and food will be served towards the end of the workshop. \nRead more about Teaching at the End of Times and the workshop leader \nSee the full schedule of related events here
