SUMMARY:Street Movies! with Bartram's Garden
DESCRIPTION:Free outdoor screening series bringing independent short films and videos to vibrant public spaces throughout Philadelphia\n\n\nScribe Video Center presents the 28th annual year of Street Movies! This film screening and performance series tours outdoor community spaces across Philadelphia every August with a program of independent short films from local\, national\, and international filmmakers\, curated in partnership with neighborhood-based organizations. All events are family-friendly and open to the public. \nJoin us for this free outdoor screening in partnership with Bartram’s Garden. Join us for a live performance and a screening of five short films\, followed by a community discussion. \n7:30 pm – Live Performance by Hudson River \n8:00 pm – Film Program & Discussion \n_____________________________________________________________ \nFilm Program: \nHigher Ground: Restorative Science and Sustainability dir. Ben Kalina (2024\, USA\, 22 min) \nA film funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) that follows researchers from Drexel University into the neighborhood of Eastwick in Philadelphia and the City of Camden as they engage with citizens and municipal leaders in the struggle to adapt to climate change. \nDaughter of the Sea dir. Alexis C. Garcia (2022\, Puerto Rico\, 19 min) \nAfter the death of her grandfather\, a young woman experiences a spiritual awakening when she is called by Yemaya\, the orisha Goddess of the Sea. \nAztec dance in Philadelphia (2016) dir. Ollin Yoliztli Calmecac (2005\, USA\, 15 min) \nMeaning “School of Blood Moving in the Heart” in the Nahuatl language of the Aztecs\, Ollin Yoliztli Calmecac is a dance and cultural troupe based in the heart of South Philadelphia. A visually captivating portrait of the group told through their own voices\, Aztec Dance in Philadelphia raises questions about indigenous history and the retention of cultural heritage in the context of modern immigration. “We consider it a school because we are learning about the culture we have lost\,” says one of the group’s members. The dancers of Ollin Yoliztli Calmecac bring their audiences a pre-Columbian heritage with roots in central Mexico. Kept alive by modern keepers of the culture like those in this trilingual Spanish/English/Nahuatl documentary\, Aztec dance has followed the paths of contemporary Mexican immigrants into the United States. That migration has brought Aztec culture here\, to Philadelphia. Aztec Dance in Philadelphia is an engaging resource for educators teaching modern immigration and a colorful testament to the resilience of indigenous cultures. \nBelmont Plateau Reclaiming Coaquannock (2016\, USA\, 13 min) \nThis film tells the story of how Belmont Plateau served as a powerful gathering space for Philadelphia’s indigenous communities for over a decade and the impact the loss of that space had. Voices from these communities share their histories and give testimony to the importance of having an indigenous gathering space to convene\, celebrate\, and pass on traditions. \n____________________________________________________________________________________ \nFor over two decades now\, Street Movies! has been a great way for people to gather together\, engage with independent film\, and foster discussion around the cultural histories of their neighborhoods and issues affecting their communities. All screenings are free\, open to the public\, and family-friendly.

SUMMARY:Joiri Minaya: Venus Flytrap
DESCRIPTION:BlackStar presents a site-specific\, newly commissioned performance series and installation at Bartram’s Garden\, from artist Joiri Minaya. Curated by writer and editor Dessane Lopez Cassell\, the series will reflect on the intertwined legacies of freedom\, extraction\, and ecology in North America’s oldest surviving botanical garden. \nMuch like a Venus flytrap\, the plant this project is named for\, Joiri Minaya’s practice often employs beauty before its bite\, utilizing sensuality\, lush florals and hues to invite deeper reflection on thornier aspects of history and the impacts of colonialism. For this project\, Minaya will craft a four-day performance series\, custom textile elements\, and a summer-long installation informed by the rich history of Bartram’s Garden. \nEstablished in 1728\, Bartram’s Garden is the oldest surviving botanical garden in North America\, and consequently encapsulates the complexities of Philadelphia’s history and our relationships with land. From its earliest uses as a hub for Indigenous trade to the role of founder John Bartram in popularizing Eurocentric notions of “modern botany\,” Bartram’s Garden can be understood as a microcosm for the ongoing colonial experiment. With Venus Flytrap\, Minaya extends her longrunning interest in foregrounding the histories and possibilities of local and Indigenous plant life. Together\, Minaya and Cassell seek to reveal hidden histories of labor and anti-colonial resistance buried in the grounds of Bartram’s Garden and historic Kingsessing\, and their echoes across the Americas.

SUMMARY:Yogis for Palestine: Int'l Day of Yoga action for Palestinian Liberation
DESCRIPTION:This is a fundraiser for Gazan Families. This will be a family-friendly event w meditation\, yoga & other activities for adults & children\n\n\nIf you purchase a ticket for $25+ (per person)\, you will receive a t-shirt (See here for t-shirt samples). Please register to receive the order form so you can select the style/size for your shirt! Please look at FAQs to know how to buy multiple tickets. \nOn this International Day of Yoga (IDY) (June 21st\, 2024)\, Yogis for Palestine\, La La Lil Jidar\, & Philly Families for Ceasefire invite you to embody yoga in the service of Palestinian liberation — by calling for an end to Israel’s genocide in Gaza and its 76-year occupation of Palestine. \nWe understand IDY to be a holiday that the global far-right weaponizes to advance ethnonationalist and colonial policies. On IDY in 2021\, Yogis for Palestine invited yogis to “repurpose International Day of Yoga in solidarity with Palestinian\, Kashmiri and all oppressed people’s self-determination;” and to apply the principles of “Decolonizing Yoga” to the context of Israeli apartheid and settler colonial occupation. \nRather than celebrate International Day of Yoga\, we invite yogis to: \n\nHold space for collective grieving and healing for our Palestinian martyrs and kin;\nDemand an end to Israel’s genocide & ethnic cleansing of Palestine; and\nUse the power of yoga to call for the dismantling of the Zionist entity & a free Palestine.\n\nThis will be a family-friendly event: we will offer meditation & yoga classes for adults & children as well as other activities. We hope you join us. \n\n\nIMPORTANT NOTES: \n1) Our hope is to also get media attention at our event\, and we plan on filming the event and sharing the video out. If you have the capacity to do so\, we would love for you to purchase a t-shirt for a powerful\, coordinated visual effect! \n2) As mentioned above\, we are selling t-shirts for this event. We are asking that people who wish to buy a shirt donate a minimum of $25 per person attending and wanting a shirt. Please register here to receive the order form to select your t-shirt. We have 3 variations: youth tees\, adult all-inclusive tanks\, and racerback crop top tanks! \n3) Bartram’s Garden has generously agreed to waive the fees of hiring a parking attendant that would be needed if over 75 people attend this event. Because we still want over 75 people to attend\, we offered to help curb the number of cars in the parking lot by agreeing to carpool and use uber/lyft if possible. We will also have volunteer parking attendants from our team helping to coordinate parking in the lot. \n\n\nYogis4Palestine \nWe are Yogis for Palestine (Y4P)\, a collective of yoga teachers and students\, who strive to embody our practice by politicizing yoga toward action for Palestinian freedom and liberation. We understand that yoga\, like any cultural practice\, is not inherently liberatory and peaceful; however\, we believe yoga can be used toward liberatory politics and collective healing. While the organizers of our collective reside in Philadelphia\, PA (occupied Lenni-Lenape territories)\, we are open to yogis from around the globe who share our commitment of using yoga toward decolonization\, anti-oppression\, and social justice liberation to join us in our mission. Follow us here at www.yogis4palestine.com  \nOur Vision:Our vision is to witness a free and self-determined Palestine in our lifetime; and to support the collective healing and care of a Palestinian future. \n\n\nEvent Hosts – Follow on Instagram: \n@yogis4palestine \n@familiesforceasefirephilly \n@lalaliljidar
