SUMMARY:Shared Language: Community Writing as Care
DESCRIPTION:A free\, drop-in writing & reflection workshop for mothers and caregivers \nHosted by Nadia Tahoun\, artist and MSW candidate \nJoin us for a supportive\, participatory workshop where language becomes a space for care\, connection\, and reflection. Through carefully held prompts\, mothers and caregivers are invited to anonymously contribute words and phrases that gather in a shared visual field. As language accumulates\, repeated words grow more visible\, others shift and rearrange\, and unexpected poems emerge. \nTogether\, we reflect on the poetry that forms\, noticing what it reveals about our needs\, what we can offer\, and how care moves between us. The workshop holds space for the idea that some of us hold what others need\, and that care and solidarity can emerge horizontally through relationships. \nNo writing experience needed. Drop in at any time. \nThe Birthing Place Womb Bus will also be on site offering free perinatal and maternal health resources. \nFree and open to all. \nThis project is a part of the What Can We Do? Artist Grant program\, presented by Asian American Arts Alliance (A4) and is supported by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council. Special thanks to Council Members Christopher Marte and Sandra Ung.

SUMMARY:K(now) Y(our) R(ights) Business Outreach
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our outreach efforts to build community and share KYR resources with local businesses and employees. \nNote: If you are not already involved with Jackson Heights Indivisible\, we will ask you to join us at one of our biweekly meetings so we can get to know each other a bit before joining us on an outreach shift. You can register for an in-person meeting or a Zoom meeting. \nWorking in pairs\, we meet owners\, managers\, and employees at their work sites to share information on ways we can prepare now for ICE raids\, what to do if ICE comes\, what to do in case of detentions\, and where to find additional resources. \nWe supply multilingual materials for employers and employees\, and scripts for volunteers. We begin with a 30-minute training session for volunteers who have not done this work before. \nThis action is rooted in principles of cooperation\, empathy\, and collective action. Effective community care involves building networks of mutual support and empowering ourselves (community members!!) to meet our collective needs.

SUMMARY:Honoring Sappho: A Lesbian Poetry Book & Sappho en Santo Domingo
DESCRIPTION:This poetry book compiles original poems written by the author\, Jacqueline Jiménez Polanco\, and her personal creative expansion of several Sappho’s fragments. The book has been written to honor Sappho and express the author’s admiration for Sappho’s extraordinary life during which she nurtured a genuine lesbian romance with Atthis and built a diverse lesbian community with women she mentored to write and sing poetry for love\, leisure\, companionship\, support\, and visibility. This book is a tribute to Sappho’s rich and unique poetic work and a token of gratitude to the first and grand lesbian Muse in the history of humanity. \nHe conversado en sueños con Sappho. Ella me cuenta los desafíos de su relación con Atthi\, sus proezas para verla y estar juntas\, sus anhelos no realizados\, las lágrimas derramadas y la alegría de vivir felices en Santo Domingo luego de tanto pesar. De esa conversación nace mi inspiración para este libro de poesía lésbica que escribo con gran emoción en honor a Sappho\, la gran Musa lésbica de la historia de la humanidad. En este poemario\, la lectora se deleitará con una prosa cotidiana de una estética excelsa sobre la isla caribeña\, su gente\, su arte\, sus costumbres\, el erotismo lésbico y una reflexión profunda sobre tradiciones que limitan el lesbianismo en su más auténtica expresión.

SUMMARY:Cristina Candela\, Barbara Martinez & Raphael Brunne -Flamenco
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening of flamenco where Cristina’s expressive dance meets the warm voice of Barbara Martinez. With guitarist Raphael Brunne and a solid group of accompanying musicians\, they bring a thoughtful and intimate approach to flamenco in a night of rhythm\, song\, and dance. \n7:30 pm to 8:30 pm(First Set) \n9:30 pm to 10:30 pm(Second Set) \nAdmission: $20: Cover at Mezzanine. \nFeaturing: \n\n\nCristina Candela / Bailaora \n\n\nBarbara Martinez / Cantaora \n\n\nRaphael Brunne / Guitar \n\n\nAbout Cristina Candela: \nCristina Candela has been dedicated to flamenco since 2007\, performing in tablaos such as El Patio Andaluz in Barcelona and touring internationally in Malaysia and Singapore with Chalachi. She has collaborated with companies like María Carrasco Cía and Apuchelando Cía\, taking on roles as dancer\, choreographer\, and producer. \nHer artistic curiosity has led her into fusion projects\, notably with Anlage Cía in Granada\, and into educational initiatives such as Voices of Tomorrow under the Yehudi Menuhin Foundation\, where she served as a cultural ambassador. \nCristina’s work also bridges cinema and performance — she has acted\, danced\, and participated in the production of short and independent films. Deeply engaged with both the stage and its creative processes\, she sees dance as a language for expressing her vision of the world. As she recalls the words of Pina Bausch\, “Dance\, dance\, otherwise we are lost.” \nAbout Barbara Martinez:  \nBárbara Martínez is a flamenco singer\, dancer\, songwriter\, and interdisciplinary artist whose career began at age 11 with The Children’s Chorus of the Metropolitan Opera. She is one of the few flamenco artists in the United States who performs regularly both as singer and dancer with leading flamenco companies\, including Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana\, A Palo Seco\, Pasión y Arte\, and EntreFlamenco. \nHer work bridges flamenco with jazz\, Latin American\, Middle Eastern\, and Sephardic musical traditions. She leads several original projects\, including a Latin jazz/flamenco ensemble that debuted at Carnegie Hall\, the flamenco fusion project ALBA MUSIK with Albert Alabedra\, and Barbarella\, a new body of original songs in English and Spanish. She is also the creator of TrashBata\, a one-woman performance work addressing the environmental crisis through flamenco and theater. \nComing from a celebrated artistic family\, Bárbara is the granddaughter of Argentine tango singer Morenita Rey and grandniece of legendary vocalist Libertad Lamarque. Her work has been featured in the documentary Sobre Las Olas – A Story of Flamenco in the U.S. and the exhibit 100 Years of Flamenco in New York. The New York Times praised her ability to make “something fresh of the Latin style.” \nBárbara holds degrees from Brown University and Berklee College of Music and currently teaches music in New York City. \nAbout Raphael Brunn: \nRaphael Brunn is a flamenco guitarist and composer born on December 19\, 1973\, in Hackensack\, New Jersey\, into a family of performers whose roots span juggling\, dance\, and trapeze. Raised in an environment where performance was a way of life\, he developed an early sensitivity to rhythm\, beginning his musical path on the bass guitar at the age of ten. \nAt fourteen\, Raphael moved to Europe to join his father\, a renowned juggler and acrobat whose work had long incorporated live flamenco music. Through this connection\, Raphael was immersed from an early age in the flamenco world\, gaining exposure to respected artists such as El Manzanita\, El Recortao\, and Pepe Márquez\, among others. \nHis debut as a flamenco guitarist took place during the opening festivities of the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona\, marking the beginning of a professional path deeply tied to the tradition. Over the years\, he has performed alongside many of the artists who influenced his development\, including collaborations with El Farruquito and El Torombo in the production Incognito in Frankfurt\, Germany. \nNow based in New York City\, Raphael Brunn continues to perform with a range of flamenco artists while developing his work as a composer. He is currently working on his second album.

SUMMARY:Queens College Choral Society: 85th Annual Spring Concert
DESCRIPTION:With the Queens College Orchestra\, Vocal Ensemble and Treble Choir \nJames John\, Director \nDavid Stern – Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass: Cantata for Soprano Solo\, Chorus and Orchestra (World Premiere) \nGabriel Fauré – Requiem \nIn 1839 Walt Whitman taught in a one-room school house that was on the grounds of the present day Queens College campus. David Stern’s new cantata celebrates the universality of Whitman’s words with music that is ethereal\, intimate and profoundly joyful. \nFauré’s Requiem is one of the most beloved works in the choral-orchestral repertory\, beautiful in its grandeur and deeply comforting in its warmth. \nTogether\, these two works offer a heartfelt glimpse into the mysteries of the human soul.
