In the occupied West Bank waste and its infrastructures become braided into people’s senses of ethics, self, and possibilities for alternative futures. Crossing the Mediterranean, Israeli and Palestinian investors are turning Athens apartments into stories of Greek homes that have been turned into Airbnb listings as a mode of maintaining partial attachments under prolonged austerity, a process she calls “controlled alienation.” Together these two projects offer answers to two main questions: How do destructive conditions—be they ecological, political, or economic—remake socialities and relations?

Feb. 19th 10:30 am Attic Angel Community (8301 Old Sauk Rd.) What Does Lake Ice Seasonality Tell Us About Climate Change? Because human observers have recorded the dates of ice on and ice off on many lakes around the world, lake ice provides a view of what is happening, often well before direct climate measurements of temperature were available. In Wisconsin and other states some records began as early as the 1850s. So what do these records tell us? In this Badger Talk Emeritus Prof. John Magnuson, founder of the UW Center for Limnology, will talk about the changes and variability in ice cover in Wisconsin lakes from the 1850s to the present. He will also discuss the value of lake ice to us largely for cultural reasons and as a measure of what is happening to climate. Info? https://www.facebook.com/events/941106277585030/ Mon.

Ave. and Lake St. Transit Equity Day 2024! Advocates will gather for for a Day of Action on Public Transportation as a Civil Right at the closed bus stop. Supporters will hold signs, distribute statements, and thank bus drivers. We are celebrating a belated birthday for Rosa Parks (her birthday is Feb. 4th). Advocates call for a first-rate transit system with both rapid and local buses that better balance the goals of ridership, coverage, accessibility, environmental sustainability, and organizational efficiency. They call for a transit system with equitable access everywhere, including to infill, old and new peripheral developments. They call for drastic cuts to our emissions of greenhouse gasses and conversion of our economy to renewable non-emitting energy sources. Public transit is a public service, not a business. Its purpose is to get people where they need to go and should not focus primarily on ridership or profit. Frequent service without reasonable access to people of all abilities is not transit equity. BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) service should enhance, rather than be at the expense of, local routes. We want more transparency in the budgeting of public transportation. More info?

Feb. 5th 7:00 pm Climate Justice, Resident Science, and the Chicago Heat Mapping Project – Virtual Zoom Event Hosted by 350 Wisconsin. Speakers include: Lonette Sims, chair of the People’s Response Network (PRN) and Dr. Howard Ehrman, PRN co-founder. In collaboration with the City of Chicago and others, PRN received a grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to involve resident scientists in creating a map of localized measurements of temperatures. The project found a differential of 22 degrees between different neighborhoods on July 28, 2023. Under-resourced, redlined African American and Latino neighborhoods experienced the most dangerous temperatures, with the greatest concentrations of heat islands and far less green infrastructure or air conditioning. Lonette and Howard will talk about their experiences working with community organizations, labor unions, and resident scientists to show the award-winning film: Cooked: Survival by ZipCode, about the 1995 deadly Chicago heatwave (the worst in US history) and to create the heat map for Chicago. They will also give an overview of the project and share ideas about how their findings can save lives.

Feb. 1st 6:30 pm WILPF Book Circle - Virtual Discussion of A Day in the Life of Abed Salama: Anatomy of a Jerusalem Tragedy by Nathan Thrall. Five-year-old Milad Salama is excited for a school trip to a theme park on the outskirts of Jerusalem. On the way, his bus collides with a semitrailer. His father, Abed, gets word of the crash and rushes to the site. The scene is chaos—the children have been taken to different hospitals in Jerusalem and the West Bank; some are missing, others cannot be identified. Abed sets off on an odyssey to learn Milad’s fate. It is every parent’s worst nightmare, but for Abed it is compounded by the maze of physical, emotional, and bureaucratic obstacles he must navigate because he is Palestinian. He is on the wrong side of the separation wall, holds the wrong ID to pass the military checkpoints, and has the wrong papers to enter the city of Jerusalem. Abed’s quest to find Milad is interwoven with the stories of a cast of Jewish and Palestinian characters whose lives and histories unexpectedly converge.

The short film follows a nonprofit art gallery worker who tries to stay afloat when a sadomasochistic philanthropist infiltrates the organization. An experimental essay film tinged with noir and fantasy, the work is driven by research into the sparse history of federal US arts funding since the 1930s and more recent universal basic income trials. The film’s tragic narrative takes aim at how seductive philanthropy can be and points toward the need to constantly reinvent strategies against mechanisms of capture. Suggested donation $5.00.
