Do you remember when we wrote about Solutions?
That’s how we got to know John Boylan, who moderates a series of open dialogues at venues around Seattle. We’ve asked John to host a conversation at our very own Kornerhaus on May 2. It’s called Gather.
Upcoming this Saturday
Meanwhile, I thought I’d share details of a talk to precede Gather, this one’s about activism this Saturday at Canoe Social Club.
Here are details:
The Next Conversation: “Looking Back, Looking Forward,” co-produced by John Boylan and Philip Wohlstetter
Saturday, April 25 :: 4 to 7pm
Canoe Social Club at Theatre Off Jackson
409 Seventh Ave. S., International District
Free, but $5 donations go to Northwest Harvest.
Looking Back, Looking Forward
As chairman of Columbia University Students for a Democratic Society and a co-founder of the Weathermen in the 1960s, Mark Rudd was at the center of many of the conflicts that still pervade our politics and signal our cultural alignments. Join Mark and activists from diverse backgrounds in a freewheeling, intergenerational, roundtable discussion.
What can activists across the generations learn from each other? What were the dead ends and roads not taken in the 1960s? What have we learned since then? What’s exciting about what’s happening now, and where do we go from here?
