SUMMARY:Are You Mad Like Me? : Reimagining Psych Cemetery Spaces
DESCRIPTION:“Are you mad like me? / Have you seized back your dreams / in the fists of your crumpled wings?” In this proof-of-concept performance-lecture\, spoken word poet\, sci-fi writer\, and performance activist Steven T. Licardi introduces us to the remains of several state hospital cemeteries scattered around the United States and abroad. He will be sharing works of original film\, photography\, and poetry\, composed and capture on-site\, and will be inviting participants to imagine the future of these forlorn spaces. Part performance\, part memoir\, this event represents nearly a decade of reflection on the part of the artist\, and represents an invitation to reflect with him. Come prepared to be both disturbed and overjoyed.

SUMMARY:Freedom-Makers: Maroons and the Underground Railroad
DESCRIPTION:This offering will be a virtual visit to the “Underground Railroad Tree” in the Guilford Woods of North Carolina. The 300-year-old Tulip Poplar tree is a living monument and witness to the freedom-seekers who were part of this eastern seaboard launching point of the Underground Railroad during the early 19th century. The great tree is located in a 350-acre forest in Greensboro\, N.C. We will walk through the woods\, share the history of the area\, read excerpts from primary source accounts (journals and runaway ads)\, look at material culture and discuss the oral history of runaway enslaved people (maroons)\, and explore the ways in which we–people and our living world–create community and connectivity underground\, overground\, everywhere. \nLed by historian Omar H. Ali from UNC Greensboro\, the offering is part of the “Let’s Learn!: The World as Classroom” initiative of Lloyd International Honors College at UNC Greensboro and the East Side Institute in New York\, in partnership with improvscience\, the African American & African Diaspora Studies Program at UNC Greensboro\, and the all-disciplinary honors society Phi Kappa Phi. \nGreensboro is on traditional Keyauwee and Saura lands settled in the mid-18th century by Euro-Americans who drew upon enslaved African labor. The city was a launching point of the Underground Railroad\, a center of textile production and distribution to the world\, a catalyst of the modern civil rights movement\, and is a refugee site with over 150 languages spoken in its school districts today–a global city that teaches us about cultural diversity\, social justice\, human geography\, political economy\, and world history.

SUMMARY:Natures Beauty: Places to inspire PEACE
DESCRIPTION:Glenn Bridgers will be hosting this event from one of his favorite public gardens – the Sarah P. Duke botanical gardens in Durham\, North Carolina. He will be intermittently going live\, and will have some walk-through films to present some favorite spots in the garden; He encourages any other participant to share their own peaceful sanctuary\, in any way they feel comfortable either by showing it – or even by telling us just a bit about it. \nNothing is required\, except for everyone to be committed\, to being in that space\, and treating themselves to a moment of peaceful self reflection and living in the present moment – to nourish their souls and spirits. \n\nGlenn Bridgers
