SUMMARY:Amplify: A Storytellling Conference for People of Color
DESCRIPTION:Featuring workshops with Shanthi Sekaran on Writing Outside Your Cultural Experience\, Norman Antonio Zelaya on Cadence\, Community and Representation\, and Vanessa Hua on Narrative Journalism\, amongst others.\n\n\nWe’ve already sold 30% of our tickets in the first 3 days\, so get the Early-Bird deal and buy with a friend now! \n\n\n\nAbout Amplify \n\nWe write\, produce\, craft\, investigate\, report as a means to tell our and our communities stories\, because the stories we hear about us are not told by us. As storytellers\, we contribute to and preserve culture\, we entertain with anecdotes\, and most importantly\, we shape the popular narratives\, fictional or factual\, that inform public opinion and in turn\, public policy. \nAmplify is a chance to connect with other storytellers\, learn from their mastery\, and explore issues that influence your work including race\, class\, community\, and ethics. Keynotes include Glynn Washington from WNYC’s Snap Judgment\, Aimee Allison\, President of Democracy In Color\, Rhodessa Jones\, Director of The Medea Project\, and Mina Morita\, Artistic Director of Crowded Fire Theater. \nBuy your tickets now at bit.ly/amplifypoc

SUMMARY:Kate Schatz and Miriam Klein Stahl present RAD GIRLS CAN

But have you heard about Yusra Mardini\, a Syrian refugee who swam a sinking boat to shore\, saved twenty lives\, then went on to compete as an Olympic swimmer? Or Trisha Prabhu\, who invented an anti-cyberbullying app at age 13? Or Barbara Rose Johns\, whose high school protest helped spark the civil rights movement? \nIn Rad Girls Can\, you’ll learn about a diverse group of young women who are living rad lives\, whether excelling in male-dominated sports like boxing\, rock climbing\, or skateboarding; speaking out against injustice and discrimination; expressing themselves through dance\, writing\, and music; or advocating for girls around the world. Each profile is paired with the dynamic paper-cut art that made the authors’ first two books New York Times best sellers. Featuring both contemporary and historical figures\, Rad Girls Can offers hope\, inspiration\, and motivation to readers of all ages and genders. \n— \nKate Schatz  is the New York Times-bestselling author of Rad American Women A-Z\, Rad Women Worldwide\, Rad Girls Can\, and the illustrated journal My Rad Life. She’s a writer\, activist\, public speaker\, and educator\, who’s been passionate about both writing and politics since she was a kid. She’s a co-founder of Solidarity Sundays\, a nationwide network of over 200 feminist activist groups who meet monthly to take coordinated non-violent political action. She lives with her kids\, cats\, and partner on the island of Alameda. \nMiriam Klein Stahl is the New York Times-bestselling illustrator of Rad American Women A-Z\, Rad Women Worldwide\, Rad Girls Can\, and the illustrated journal My Rad Life. She is a Bay Area-based artist\, educator and activist. In addition to her work in printmaking\, drawing\, sculpture\, paper-cut and public art\, she is also the co-founder of the Arts and Humanities Academy at Berkeley High School where she’s taught since 1995. As an artist\, she follows in a tradition of making socially relevant work\, creating portraits of political activists\, misfits\, radicals and radical movements. As an educator\, she has dedicated her teaching practice to address equity through the lens of the arts. Her work has been widely exhibited and reproduced internationally. She lives in Berkeley with her wife\, daughter\, and their dog Lenny.\n\n\n\n\nEvent date:\n\nSaturday\, September 8\, 2018 – 5:30pm\n\n\n\nEvent address:\n\n\n\nPegasus Books Downtown\n2349 Shattuck Ave\n\nBerkeley\, CA 94704
