SUMMARY:Gray Area Grand Theater: Good Modeling Picture!! Curated by Molly Soda
DESCRIPTION:Gray Area presents a special night of artist-made films\, selected by internet artist performer Molly Soda. Soda will be present to introduce the films\, and afterwards will participate in a Q&A moderated by Gray Area Associate Curator Wade Wallerstein. \nBringing together a diverse group of artists\, Good Modeling Picture!! offers a variety of perspectives on digital culture over the last 25 years. More specifically\, the selected films explore fame and fandom\, self and other\, and the power dynamics of perception in screen-mediated spaces. Livestream gifting culture\, online encounters with strangers\, and digital photography from Y2K-era party circuits are just a few of the techno-social phenomena through which these films offer insight into modern identity formation and self-perception.

SUMMARY:Garden for the Environment: Beginning Beekeeping: The Basics and Mid-Season Colony Health
DESCRIPTION:So you’re thinking of becoming a beekeeper? This workshop is an introduction to bees and beekeeping practices whether you’re starting a backyard hive or are just curious about bees. We’ll cover some basics on bees\, their progress through spring and summer\, and what to expect as colonies expand in the warmer\, longer days. There will be a class outline\, suggested reading\, and additional recommendations provided. Instructors will bring an observation hive for you to see bees in action\, and you’ll also get to see GFE’s hives from a distance. \nThe class is designed for absolute beginners so no prerequisite knowledge is required. We will have more beginning beekeeping classes this year\, and each will emphasize what is happening in a beehive throughout the seasons. Keep checking our workshop schedule for more beekeeping workshops! \nInstructors: \nOur instructors are members of the San Francisco Beekeepers Association and experienced\, longtime beekeepers. \n    Philip Gerrie: Philip is past president of the San Francisco Beekeepers Association and has kept bees in SF for 25 years. He maintains and average of ten hives.\n    Dan DeCuir: Dan is an avid gardener and backyard hen handler who has been keeping bees since 2006. He has been fascinated by social insects since childhood\, when he dreamed of having a farm. He currently keeps three beehives in San Francisco: on a neighbor’s rooftop (at her request)\, at the Park Street Community Garden\, and at Alemany Farm\, where he has taught beginner beekeeper classes. He is a member of the San Francisco Beekeepers Association\, and on the swarm catcher list – his first hive was a re-homed swarm. When not tending to his bees\, Dan can be found planting vegetables and weeding in his plot at the Arlington Community Garden\, feeding his backyard chickens\, or trying to catch Dungeness crabs at local beaches. \nNo walk-up registration permitted for this course.

DESCRIPTION:During the upcoming AAPI Heritage Month\, San Francisco will welcome a cultural event that bridges tradition and modern expression. The Jing Ying Cantonese Opera Institute will present its 13th Cantonese Opera Festival on May 16–17 at the Great Star Theater in Chinatown. Through live performances and community engagement\, the festival highlights the enduring vitality of Cantonese opera as an intangible cultural heritage in contemporary society. \nAs one of the few organizations in Northern California dedicated to promoting Cantonese opera\, Jing Ying has long been committed to expanding access through bilingual productions\, educational programs\, and public dialogue. By breaking down language and cultural barriers\, the organization enables audiences of diverse backgrounds to experience and appreciate this traditional art form. Organizers hope that through more interactive and accessible presentations\, this centuries-old performance tradition will continue to evolve and thrive within American society. \nThe festival will take place over two days\, with a special program on May 16 featuring State Senator Scott Wiener\, former Mayor Willie Brown\, Board of Supervisors President Rafael Mandelman\, and Supervisor Danny Sauter\, joining community members on stage for a shared performance. \nJing Ying notes that as the performing arts landscape rapidly evolves\, traditional opera faces challenges including shifting audience demographics and cultural distance. Through cross-linguistic and cross-cultural innovation\, the organization aims to bring more young people and non-Chinese-speaking audiences into the theater\, offering new ways to engage with this historic art form. \nOrganizers emphasize that Cantonese opera is not only a legacy of the past\, but a living tradition that continues to be reinterpreted and renewed. Looking ahead\, Jing Ying will continue to promote the development of Cantonese opera in the Bay Area through performances\, education\, and community engagement\, allowing it to flourish within a multicultural environment. \nTickets range from $30 to $100. For more information and ticketing\, please refer to the organizer’s website or event materials.

SUMMARY:Manny’s: Monthly Chocolate Club at Manny's - Let's Explore Chocolate
DESCRIPTION:Monthly discussions exploring and enjoying the wonders of chocolate! Bring curiosity and a chocolate to share! \nVenture with us into this endless and delicious topic. \nEach club session is a round table discussion in the Living Room\, at the back tables. \nWhat you bring to the conversation is curiosity and chocolate to share. Your contribution may be a bar or a confection\, a nostalgic favorite\, a sample of a rare cacao\, or even something you dislike and want to learn more about. Everyone please bring something to contribute to this beautiful community! \nHere are a few infrequently asked questions about chocolate: \n    What actually is chocolate?\n    Why does chocolate resonate so vividly with us in body\, mind\, and spirit?\n    Cacao is called the “Food of the Gods” and is highly nutritious. What is science showing us about phytonutrients that benefit our health and well-being?\n    How might we think about chocolate in contemporary culture and our shared human history? The oldest confirmed evidence of cacao use by our ancestors is approximately 5\,000 years ago. Our history and future with chocolate are worth discussing.\n    We have a complex language for discussing wine—why not cacao and chocolate? \nWho is David? \nDavid has fifteen years of professional experience and a lifetime of enthusiasm for chocolate. As a chocolatier\, he makes delightful creations with amazing chocolate in micro-batches and offers them online and at farmers markets. His career in chocolate is rooted in pastry and chocolate production. Working with farmers\, researchers\, chocolate makers\, chefs\, and fellow chocolatiers\, he continually explores and enjoys the culture of chocolate. \nSpace is limited. Please reserve a seat at the table. \nMore information about David and chocolate can be found on his website: https://www.duchocolatier.com/
