ANNOUNCEMENTS
See Say DO. @ Squirrel Haus Arts, 3450 Snelling Ave • 5pm
See. Say. DO Art To Change The World October 2018 Art to Change the World (ACW) is a non-profit, multidisciplinary, cross-generational coalition of 20 social practice artists, educators, scientists, authentic/expert voices and supporters who are committed to creating events which deliver powerful and transformative experiences. We aspire to investigate what divides us and discover strategies which might unite us. Our specific mission is to encourage the marginalized, disenfranchised, underserved, as well as the ruling elite, to DO Something. Although our organization is new, our collective spans age (18-75), race, gender, physically challenged, education and more. Many are seasoned and experienced veterans. What makes ACW unique is that it brings together the arts and sciences, at a time when both disciplines are struggling to be heard above the fray of “fake news.” It is our belief that art and science are integral to each other and essential components to the development of culture and critical thinking. ACW’s events, which include exhibitions, performances plus onsite workshops and school and community center visits, serve as an incubator for traveling corporate, community and school workshops which will feature major artworks focusing on topics such as gender and social equity, recovery, emotional first responders, motherhood, water quality and climate change. For our debut exhibit, Art to Change the World, will host a two week event with performances and workshops around the theme of See. Say. DO-Art To Change The World (SSD-ACW) from October 5-14, 2018. There will be a dozen established artists and their authentic/expert voice team members creating major social and environmental justice works. The space at Squirrel Haus Gallery, a new cutting edge art space that has agreed to host ACW for this exhibit, will be transformed into an alternative universe which draws the visitor through a sometimes shocking, and always thought provoking, interactive journey. (This will not be your mother’s gallery visit!)
Artist Neighborhood Partnership Initiative Small Grant Program Request for Proposals
CURA’s Artists Neighborhood Partnership Initiative (ANPI) provides small grants to artists of color and Native artists working in neighborhoods in Minneapolis, St. Paul and the surrounding suburbs. ANPI grants recognize the valuable role that artists and the arts play in the work of fostering neighborhood wellbeing, and are intended to support the leadership of artists in these efforts. This grant program is particularly focused on directly funding individual artists or groups of artists working to build a more equitable Twin Cities.
We are now accepting proposals for one-year support of artist driven projects.
The goal of the program is to identify and support compelling projects that artists have developed in response to their community’s specific challenges and opportunities.
Projects must demonstrate a clear commitment to a neighborhood or place, as shown by the relationship between that place’s community to the project’s development process and focus.
The request for proposals is open to individual artists of color and Native artists, or artist teams. Organizations may not apply, although they may partner with an artist or artist team who is leading the project. Proposals will be accepted until November 11, 2018 (end of the day). We have a total of $60,000 in grant dollars for 2019, with maximum grant awards of $15,000/project.
These funds are designated for one-time project support, and must be spent within one year. Funds will be disbursed around late March/early April 2019.
Deadlines:
Applications are accepted until the end of the day (11:59 pm) on Sunday, November 11, 2018.
Final decisions will be made by early January 2018.

Science Book Club: Spook by Mary Roach @ Boneshaker Books, 2002 23rd Ave S • 11am
Copies are in stock at Boneshaker at a 20% discount off the regular paperback price. Boneshaker’s Science Book Club reads books that are science-related, but hopefully accessible to those without an academic background in science. We seek to select titles that are in line with Boneshaker’s mission of social justice.
ABOUT THE BOOK: The best-selling author of Stiff and Bonk trains her considerable wit and curiosity on the human soul. “What happens when we die? Does the light just go out and that’s that?the million-year nap? Or will some part of my personality, my me-ness persist? What will that feel like? What will I do all day? Is there a place to plug in my lap-top?” In an attempt to find out, Mary Roach brings her tireless curiosity to bear on an array of contemporary and historical soul-searchers: scientists, schemers, engineers, mediums, all trying to prove (or disprove) that life goes on after we die.

A Magical Story Time @ @ Boneshaker Books, 2002 23rd Ave S • 11am
It is our mission with this story time to promote children’s books that shine a spotlight on a wide array of racial and cultural identities, genders, orientations, experiences and abilities. We want to create a space that places a special emphasis on promoting self love, empathy and a greater understanding of the strange, magical world we inhabit. There is serious deficit in children’s books that depict protagonists who are a people of color, people with disabilities, LGBTQIA+ or any combination of the above. That is why Madeline and Sam’s Magical Story Time seeks out books that do just that. Positive representation in books is crucial to a child’s development of a positive self image. It can be absolutely life affirming for a child to see a protagonist who reflects them accomplishing anything they set their mind to. It is also crucial in developing empathy for a child to experience diversity at a young age.

Monday, October 8
“Soon all of Eden followed the apple’s example and started to decompose and rot, and since then this has happened in all gardens and everything in nature, and honey mushrooms came into existence, and rot and parasites and beetles arose. But the apple was first, and it never stops rotting, it just gets blacker. The apple has no end, just like this fairy tale.”- Jenny Hval, Paradise Rot Norwegian singer/songwriter Jenny Hval has received acclaim for her deeply visceral, surreal, and evocative explorations of politics and sexuality in her music. Now, she brings the same searing aesthetic vision to her debut novel, Paradise Rot (Verso, October 2nd, 2018). https://www.versobooks.com/books/2775-paradise-rot
Join us at Moon Palace Books, where Jenny will appear in conversation with City Pages music editor Keith Harris.
About PARADISE ROT: Jo is in a strange new country for university and having a more peculiar time than most. In a house with no walls, shared with a woman who has no boundaries, she finds her strange home coming to life in unimaginable ways. Jo’s sensitivity and all her senses become increasingly heightened and fraught, as the lines between bodies and plants, dreaming and wakefulness, blur and mesh.
“In Paradise Rot, Jenny Hval creates a parallel world that’s familiar but subtly skewed. As intriguing and impressive a novelist as she is a musician, Hval is a master of quiet horror and wonder.” – Chris Kraus, author of I Love Dick
“Psychologically dark and at times claustrophobic, this unusual debut portrays raw want as a gradual encroachment. Paradise Rot dances between dream and nightmare, probing the jagged line between exploration and suffocation with unnerving clarity.” – Karen Rigby, Foreword Reviews
Storytime with Mama Ray @ Moon Palace Books, 3032 Minnehaha Ave • 10:30am

How to Talk to Children About Race @ Moon Palace Books, 3032 Minnehaha Ave • 6:30pm
A live podcast recording Talking about race with children can be difficult. It’s easy to avoid it for fear of saying the wrong thing, but the only way to combat racism is to talk about it. The hosts of the podcasts Parent Town and Teaching with the Body in Mind have put together a panel of parents to discuss how they talk to their children about race. We will use the book, Not My Idea by Anastasia Higginbotham as the jumping off point in what is sure to be a lively discussion. https://moonpalacebooks.com//?q=h.calevent&eid=3912

Living in the Future’s Past: What Kind of Future Would You Like to See? @ Lagoon Theater, 1320 Lagoon Ave • 7pm
Jeff Bridges shares the screen with scientists, thinkers and earth’s living creatures to reveal eye-opening concepts about ourselves, our past and our future. Living in the Future’s Past shows how no one can predict how major changes emerge from the spontaneous actions of the many. How energy takes many forms as it moves through and animates everything. How, as we come to understand our true connection to all there is, we will need to redefine our expectations, not as what we will lose, but what we might gain by preparing for something different.
Local favorite and U of MN professor, Nate Hagens, will lead a post-movie discussion.
Wednesday, October 10
“The Passage” by Justin Cronin and open to the public Join us for an October discussion of The Passage – the thrilling first novel in what Stephen King calls “a trilogy that will stand as one of the great achievements in American fantasy fiction.” An epic and gripping tale of catastrophe and survival, The Passage is the story of Amy – abandoned by her mother at the age of 6, pursued and then imprisoned by the shadowy figures behind a government experiment of apocalyptic proportions. Special Agent Brad Wolgast, the lawman sent to track her down, is disarmed by the curiously quiet girl and risks everything to save her. As the experiment goes nightmarishly wrong, Wolgast secures her escape – but he can’t stop society’s collapse. As Amy walks alone, across miles and decades, into a future dark with violence and despair, she is filled with the mysterious and terrifying knowledge that only she has the power to save the ruined world.

GAME OVER Minneapolis, a night of the music from video games: old classics, modern titles, and everything in between. Featuring, Bards of the Goddess, Do a Barrel Roll!, and The Super Marcato Bros. Game Over Minneapolis supports Gamer’s Rhapsody, a Minnesota-based 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to celebrating the art video games, those who make it, and every kind of video game fan. —– The Super Marcato Bros. are a video game music duo who compose original music, and host a weekly video game music podcast. Also, they are a live band, performing the best VGM! http://www.supermarcatobros.com/ Do a Barrel Roll! is the real deal. This elite band uses absolutely no MIDI or studio wizardry to create their music. Every single note and part is played by a real living being (even if they may not necessarily be from this planet). The complex arrangements heard on the recordings are true representations of what the audience will hear coming from the stage as they join DABR! in their fight against evil by playing videogames during the live events. Bards of the Goddesses are a merry band of bards with often more than double the instruments on stage as sets of hands to play them. An acoustic trio with a renaissance groove style, they feature music from games and series such as The Legend of Zelda, Elder Scrolls, Professor Layton, Assassin’s Creed, Mario Kart, Pokémon, and more!
