Join us on Thursday, August 29, from 6-8 p.m. for an enlightening evening with our Resident Artist, Oscar Romo, as he leads a dynamic panel discussion titled DISCOVER! The Promise Zone. This event will focus on crucial notions of sustainability, featuring insights from Oscar and other renowned experts. Together, they will delve into pressing issues affecting the Promise Zone residents and brainstorm innovative opportunities for a sustainable future. The panelists will explore sustainability through the lens of four foundational domains, each integral to comprehensive sustainability knowledge, values, and practices: Interconnection within Nature: Understanding the intricate web of relationships that sustain our ecosystems. Environmental and Human Health: Examining the vital link between a healthy planet and the well-being of its inhabitants. Equity and Social Justice: Advocating for fair and inclusive solutions that uplift all community members. Movement Building and the Economy: Exploring how collective action and economic strategies can drive sustainable change. One of the fundamental principles we'll discuss is entropy—the natural tendency of systems to wear out and break down. This concept underscores the importance of sustainability, as it reminds us that without proactive efforts, structures crumble, resources deplete, and the environment deteriorates. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with thought leaders, share your ideas, and contribute to the vibrant future of the Promise Zone.

Necking has been a free-punk improvising collective since 2004. For this event, they’ve invited like-minded collaborators, including past members, to participate in a series of stunts that break Necking into its composite parts and themes. This five chapter essay will cite influences lofty and lowly, using the language of some of our best misfits! Known for its freely rotating lineup built around a few central members, the collective now proudly features Amy Cimini, Nick Lesley, and Nathan Berlinguette. Their signature free-punk sound is a raw, communal form of improvisation that’s fast and loud, exhausting and cathartic; it’s a celebration of friendship and creative spontaneity. For this “one night only” performance, Necking will be joined by Michael Buehl, Aaron Demuth, Ana Díaz De Cossio, Alethia Espinal, Nathan Hubbard, Shayla James, Alia Jaywook, Anishka Lee-Skorepa, Jota M, Batya MacAdam-Somer, Christian Molenaar, Scott Nielsen, Linda Posada, Josh Quon, Kathia Rudametkin, Michael Trigilio, Ilana Waniuk, and more.
