NIGHT SCHOOL: “NOT ME. US.” TRANSFORMING LA INSIDE & OUTSIDE A
BERNIE PRESIDENCY Thursday, Feb
27, 2020 at 7pm to 9pm - UTLA
Bernie's campaign has served as a
platform for working class politics in the US for the first time in
decades—supplying energy and excitement to the Democratic Party while
simultaneously piquing the interests of unengaged voters on a scale
that could promise a fundamental change in the political electorate.
But what does that change look like, practically? How does that change
become permanent? And how do we avoid breaking the promises of
political change made by Democrats before? This session will explore
what political change could look like under a Sanders presidency and
how to take advantage of political opportunities locally.
"Ways Of Seeing" Parts 3 &
4 Friday, Feb 28, 2020 @
7pm to 9pm - Burbank
How does capitalism manipulate the image for its benefit? Do
socialists have a different take? What does it mean to approach art
for the sake of liberation rather than profit? "Ways of Seeing," a
documentary in four short parts by radical art critic and novelist
John Berger, takes on these questions. Made in the 1970s for the BBC,
"Ways of Seeing" is even more relevant now in the age of social media,
when pictures and gestures can be twisted round to mean their exact
opposite.
