SUMMARY:Exhibit Opening: 'Genderqueer Pioneers: The Lavender Hill Legacy'
DESCRIPTION:Exhibit on display at the Cherry Gallery August 4th-September 17th \nWHEN: Exhibit Opening August 4th – 5-8pm \nExhibit on display weekends 1-5pm – August 4th-September 17th \nWHERE: The Cherry Gallery\, 130 Cherry St\, Ithaca NY 14850 \nIn 1973\, a brave group of big city homosexuals left the disparaging metropolis and bought a piece of land together out in Danby. They built shelters\, they planted gardens\, and they partied. A lot. They called themselves the Lavender Hill Collective. \nSo much has changed since 1973. What used to be unspoken – and even censured! – about gender identity is now part of everyday vocabulary and culture. Reverence for the earth and home-grown food is as mainstream as “supermarkets” and more idealized than “convenience.” Communities of makers\, maker spaces\, and other artist groups sustain and unite us as politics urges us to split apart. \nWith this exhibition\, we celebrate the Lavender Hill collective as pioneering genderqueer artists. Along with art made by members of the collective\, we are also showing some contemporary pieces that channel the Lavender Hill legacy. After the commune itself ended\, their openness to love and adventure\, land and community endures. \nThis exhibition is co-presented by The Cherry Arts\, and The History Center in Tompkins County and curated by Judy Swann and Laurence Clarkberg. \n. \nLAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT \nThis event will take place in the traditional and contemporary lands of the Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫˀ Nation (Cayuga)\, one of the Six Nations of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy.

SUMMARY:Book Talk: Unionizing the Ivory Tower: Cornell Workers' Fifteen-Year Fight for Justice and a Living Wage
DESCRIPTION:WHEN: Wednesday\, September 6th\, 5:30-6:30pm \nWHERE: CAP ArtSpace in the Tompkins Center for History & Culture on the Ithaca Commons – 110 North Tioga St. Ithaca NY 14850. \nThis event is FREE\, the room can accommodate up to 45 attendants. If we reach capacity\, doors will close 5 minutes before the program is set to begin. \nABOUT THE EVENT \nJoin us for a BOOK TALK the week of Labor Day with author Al Davidoff\, the Cornell student leader who became a custodian and the union’s first president\, for a panel discussion on his newest work ‘Unionizing the Ivory Tower: Cornell Workers’ Fifteen-Year Fight for Justice and a Living Wage’. \nUnionizing the Ivory Tower chronicles how a thousand low-paid custodians\, cooks\, and gardeners succeeded in organizing a union at Cornell University. Al Davidoff\, the Cornell student leader who became a custodian and the union’s first president\, tells the extraordinary story of these ordinary workers with passion\, sensitivity\, and wit. \nHis memoir reveals how they took on the dominant power in the community\, built a strong organization\, and waged multiple strikes and campaigns for livable wages and their dignity. Their strategies and tactics were creative and feisty\, founded on worker participation and ownership. \nThe union’s commitment to fairness\, equity\, and economic justice also engaged these workers—mostly rural\, white\, and conservative—at the intersections of racism\, sexism\, classism\, and homophobia. Davidoff’s story demonstrates how a fighting union can activate today’s working class to oppose antidemocratic and white supremacist forces. \nEvent Collaborators: \nOur thanks to Cornell Press for publishing this important work chronicling local union history\, Odyssey Bookstore for coordinating sales of the book following the panel\, and The History Center in Tompkins County for hosting. \nPURCHASE THE BOOK \n—————————————- \nLand Acknowledgement \nThis event will take place in the traditional and contemporary lands of the Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫˀ Nation (Cayuga)\, one of the Six Nations of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy.

SUMMARY:Anne Carolyn Klein at Buffalo Street Books
DESCRIPTION:About the Event \nJoin Anne Klein at Buffalo Street Books as she discusses her book\, “Being Human and Buddha Too: Longchenpa’s Sevenfold Mind Training for a Sunlit Sky.” \nAnne C. Klein is a professor and former chair of the religion department at Rice University. She is also a lama in the Nyingma tradition and a founding director and resident teacher of Dawn Mountain\, a center for contemplative study and practice in Houston. Her publications include Path to the Middle; Unbounded Wholeness\, coauthored with Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche; Knowledge and Liberation; and most recently a translation of Khetsun Rinpoche’s Strand of Jewels. \nAbout the Book \nThis first volume in the House of Adzom series centers on Longchenpa’s seven trainings in bodhicitta\, our awakened mind\, the ultimate purpose of our practice and training. Anne Klein’s original composition masterfully weaves in Adzom Paylo Rinpoche’s commentary and Jigme Lingpa’s five pith practices and commentary on the trainings\, in keeping with Longchenpa’s skillful integration of sutra\, tantra\, and Dzogchen\, to resolve our most challenging questions about what awakening involves and how it relates to the truth of our human situation right now. As foundational teachings for Dzogchen practitioners\, the seven trainings are framed as contemplations on impermanence\, the adventitiousness of happiness and its short duration\, the multiple causes of death\, the meaninglessness of our worldly activities\, reliance on the Buddha’s good qualities\, the teacher’s pith instructions\, and\, ultimately\, nonconceptual meditation on bliss and emptiness\, clarity and emptiness\, and reality itself.
