SUMMARY:Poetry\, Place and Politics: Readings and Moderated Discussion at FLUX Festival
DESCRIPTION:How do poets and their poetry intervene into discussions and activism related to the politics of place? How might poetry enrich our understanding of place\, politics and the ways in which they might intertwine? This free event will feature several poets whose poetry addresses these questions. It will involve a brief reading by each poet\, followed by a guided discussion. Come and experience a variety of ways in which poets and poetry can activate our minds and urge us to think and act in new ways when navigating our present most perilous times. \nParticipants include: Kaie Kellough\, Deanna Smith and Marilou Craft with moderation by Prof. Amber Rose Johnson \nFacebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1441377396924951

SUMMARY:Poet & composer Tanner Menard + sound artist Martín Rodríguez @ FLUX Festival
DESCRIPTION:Tanner Menard: A vessel for consciousness\, carrying sound\, vision\, and breath as living currents of presence. Here in relation\, a transparent ray of lineage\, flowing beyond self. THIS open pathway for imaginal becoming—beyond name\, beyond nation—with what is shared\, resonant\, alive. The living path. \nhttps://fullspectrumrecords.bandcamp.com/album/the-poet \nAs a transmission and sound artist\, Martín Rodríguez’s work emerges from his Xicanx upbringing along the Arizona-Mexico border. He employs performance\, intervention\, and installation as a process for deciphering aural histories and entangled identities. After recovering from surgery to remove a brain tumor\, a chance encounter with a radio transmission caught in the pickup coils of his guitar reoriented Rodríguez. Developing his practice from crisis\, he examines radio as a transformative medium.  \nFacebook Event:  https://www.facebook.com/events/1473808313924906
