Please join us for the first public event of Kristiania, an international anarcho-literary collective of politically minded writers. This will be a conversation around the subjects of queerness and subjectivity featuring the exciting authors and thinkers:

Samuel R. Delany
Ana Božičević
Saeed Jones
Trace Peterson
Moderated by Lonely Christopher

Friday, May 2, 2014

These badass queer women writers will read from from their latest. Resident rebel poet Eileen Myles is joined by D.C. writer Jennifer Fink (a novelist and a queer Jewish mommy) as well as New York poet Iris Cushing at this FREE event at the new queer mecca in Manhattan,

The event title is taken from a Craig Epplin review of Myles: “Consisting of moving parts and temporary precipitates, assemblages are necessarily incomplete. Against easy satisfaction, Myles enjoins us to dwell in our own incompletion.” The same can be said for Fink and Cushing.

These writers play with language in a way that gets to a reality both within and beyond the words of their texts.

Performances and Open Mic – Sign Up at 7:30!!!

Salga NYC Townhall: Come learn about all the exciting work that is being done in the desi queer community in NYC. We have several new volunteers who have expressed an interest in joining the steering board and we would like the community to get to know these leaders.

As part of the townhall meeting, we are excited to partner with Darkmatter and SASI to bring you a conversation with Indian Queer Activitists Akshay Khanna and Arvind Narrain.

Ectoplasm refers to a vomit-like substance produced by mediums during seances, supposedly as a manifestation of otherworldly spirits. For this performance salon and accompanying zine, we would like to use the phenomenon of ectoplasm as a way of thinking about the creation of the abject, what for Julia Kristeva constitutes that which has been discharged from the body, rendered excrement. How does the body function as a sight of transactions, of exits and entrances? In what ways is the abject haunted? What ghosts are coming out of you?
GIVE US UR BLOOD UR TEARS UR PUKE.

CHARLOTTE CULLEN
EMILY JANE
LINDSAY SORELL
MONICA MCCLURE
SONIA CHOI
ANDREA CRESPO
