BUSTED! movie + indoor picnic

Saturday, January 20
Doors: 12pm
Event: 12:30pm

~

BUSTED! a critical conversation series --> began in Jan 2023 --> and aims to invigorate a community of artists, writers, activists, citizens, conformists, and anti-conformists about the state of community through the ever-refracting prism of power. BUSTED! slides into 2024 with a movie and indoor picnic, as we contemplate alienation, community, and our urban home(s).

We'll watch a matinee film and consider our own relationships to the provocative questions the film engenders. Communities are broken and formed inside the film and BUSTED! also will ask us to think about our own. Questions drive the BUSTED! conversation series --> there will be no easy answers.

What does community mean in the city we live in? How has community thrived, how has it failed? What does it take to build community? How do we make community within the proliferating polarization (economic, racial, political) of our times? How do we address the alienation and polarization inside our city? What does it take to build truly inclusive and diverse communities? Do we have the strength?
