Poetry ((PRO)) ((FANA)) Presents: EcoPoetics and The Ecology of Everyday Life!
Sunday February 12, 2012
5pm to 7pm
Free and Open to the Public
If the topsy turvy winter weather has you wondering about the environment and our place in it, by all means come out for this event!
It perhaps needn’t be said, but human activity has had an intensely powerful effect on the environment — from transforming entire landscapes, to creating the largest dump heap in the history of man, to modifying the genetic code of the life forms around us. This event reconsiders what “nature” might be in today’s world and how that impacts our relationship to the spaces we inhabit and the lifeforms we encounter. Come explore how poetry can help us think through these processes and lead us to a space of potential regeneration.
Join us for POETRY ((PRO) (FANA))’s debut as we hear author/editor Brenda Iijima and scholar Josua “Sha” LaBare each share from their work.
Sha LaBare is a widgeteer, nexistentialist, and straight up univore who works on science fiction as a way of thinking about and being in the world. He is particularly interested in radical ecological ethics and making first contact with the aliens all around us right here on earth. Sha recently completed his PhD – Farfetchings: on and in the sf mode – in the History of Consciousness program at UC-Santa Cruz, where he worked under the direction of Donna Haraway. As a postdoctoral fellow at Carnegie Mellon’s Humanities Center, his current project is called “The Ecology of Everyday Life”. This project focuses on creating and expanding sense of wonder in our encounters with the memes, critters, and widgets that make up the texture and tenor of our everyday lives.

POETRY ((PRO) (FANA)) is curated by Sueyeun Juliette Lee and Dawn Lundy Martin. Check the website atpoetryprofana.wordpress.com

An evening at 720 and the Soul Cafe
On this Friday August 19th 720 Music Clothing Café will be hosting the PBMF Soul Café. We kick off at 6:30pm. Cost is only $10. For the past few years, Pittsburgh Black Media Federation has brought a good feeling to Pittsburgh audiences across the city, with the Soul Cafe. The Soul Cafe's lineup of some of the region's most talented singers, musicians and spoken word artists continues to make everyone feel good. More importantly, the fact that the proceeds from the Soul Cafe benefit the PBMF Scholarship Fund makes everyone feel very good. PBMF presents scholarships annually to college journalism students, who've participated in the organization's summer urban journalism workshop while in high school. Be sure to join us and get your own good feeling Friday evening at 6pm. Grab a snack from our cafe, relax and enjoy the show. Don’t forget to check in once you’re here!
