SUMMARY:SOMArts Cultural Center: In This House We Are All Buried Alive (opening reception)
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the opening reception of Paola de la Calle’s In This House We Are All Buried Alive on Friday\, July 28\, 7:30–10:00 PM PST. \nDrawing inspiration from Colombian poet María Mercedes Carranza’s piece “La Patria” (“The Motherland”)\, De la Calle threads together personal and collective memory to repair the ruptures of historical amnesia. \nThrough her multidisciplinary practice\, her debut solo exhibition examines the relationship between power and memory. What becomes the memory of a culture? Of a family? Who benefits when memories are forgotten? \nS﻿tay tuned for upcoming announcements!  \nA﻿bout Paola de la Calle \nPaola de la Calle is a Colombian-American multidisciplinary artist whose work examines home\, identity\, borders\, and nostalgia through the use of textiles\, printmaking\, and sculpture. In her practice\, De la Calle combines photographs sourced from family albums and found images which she prints on textiles\, as well as poetic texts\, paintings made with coffee instead of paint\, and found objects\, to mine the aesthetics of nostalgia and examine the socio-political relationship between the United States and Colombia. \nShe is a graduate of the New York Foundation of the Arts Immigrant Artist Program in 2019 and the lead artist for the Caravan for the Children Campaign as part of her residency with Galeria de la Raza in 2020. She’s a KALA Fellowship Award recipient and currently Artist-in-Residence at the Textile Arts Center in Brooklyn\, NY.

SUMMARY:Garden for the Environment: Summer Fruit Tree Pruning
DESCRIPTION:Fruit trees require year-round care\, and summer pruning is critical to their health. Summer pruning allows air and light to reach fruits and lower branches\, controls growth on vigorous trees\, helps direct a tree’s shape\, and is an opportunity to remove dead\, damaged\, and dying wood. Our expert instructors will teach general pruning techniques\, discuss the differences between summer and winter pruning\, and lead a hands-on demonstration so you can learn which cuts will keep your trees healthy and productive. \nF﻿ollowing the workshop\, you can put your newfound skills to use! Feel free to bring a lunch and eat with GFE staff and volunteers\, and then at 1pm\, join a group of fellow workshop participants and others from the GFE community to prune our orchard trees. \nYour expert instructors Jamie Chan and Blas Herrera are natives of San Francisco. They tend a small homestead in San Francisco with their two girls\, complete with honey bees\, chickens\, greenhouse\, mini-orchard\, and vegetables. Blas has a degree in environmental studies\, a certificate in sustainable design from the Urban Permaculture Institute of San Francisco and currently is assistant director of education at CuriOdyssey\, Zoo and Science Museum. Jamie has an MS in science and a doctorate in education from SF State University. She is a certified UC Cooperative Extension Master Gardener and is currently director of programs at the Gardens of Golden Gate Park (which includes the SF Botanical Garden\, Conservatory of Flowers\, and Japanese Tea Garden).

DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the Opening Reception Saturday\, July 29\, 2023 from 6 to 9PM. \nVisible Light Spectrum is a collection of paintings further exploring the perceived notions of color.

Having begun his career as a kid tagging MUNI buses\, Apexer moved to the wall\, then the canvas\, in careful exploration of abstract letter forms. His pieces are crafted with multiple layers\, patterns\, and colors that evoke the sense of urban building. Part of the Gestalt Collective\, Apexer has curated and created mural projects throughout the city. His fine art has been exhibited at Pacific Asia Museum\, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts\, White Walls\, the Luggage Store Gallery\, and abroad. He completed an artist residency at the Headland Center for the Arts and has been featured in numerous documentaries and publications about art in the Mission District.

SUMMARY:Manny’s: Meet California Senate candidate Congresswoman Barbara Lee!
DESCRIPTION:T﻿he race for California’s Senate seat has already started to heat up\, with three strong contenders from across California announcing their candidacy. \nO﻿ne of those strong contenders is none other then East Bay representative Congresswoman Barbara Lee! Throughout her time in Congress\, representative Lee has been a consistent progress voice in Washington and now is looking to take those progressive policies to the Senate. \nJ﻿oin us on Monday\, July 31st at 5:30pm for a special meet and greet with the amazing Congresswoman Lee. This will be an opportunity to meet not only a local representative\, but also one of the 3 candidates running for California Senate! \nA﻿bout Barbara Lee: \nCongresswoman Barbara Lee has been representing California’s 12th District (formerly 13th) since 1998. She is the highest ranking African American woman appointed to Democratic Leadership\, serving as Co-Chair of the Policy and Steering Committee. She also serves on the Budget Committee and the powerful Appropriations Committee\, which oversees all federal government spending. \nIn 2001\, Congresswoman Lee received national attention as the only Member of Congress to oppose the authorization for the use of military force (AUMF) in the wake of the horrific events on September 11th. The Congresswoman believed this AUMF would become a blank check for endless war. As of 2013\, this authorization had been used more than 30 times to engage in military action without Congressional oversight. Congresswoman Lee is working to repeal this blank check and restore Congress’s constitutional oversight to matters of war and peace. She was also an outspoken opponent of the Iraq War. \nCurrently\, Congresswoman Lee serves on the Budget Committee and the powerful Appropriations Committee\, which oversees all federal government spending. She serves on three subcommittees (Ranking Member\, State and Foreign Operations; Labor\, Health and Human Services\, Education; and Agriculture\, Rural Development\, Food and Drug Administration) of the Appropriations Committee. In January 2021\, she became the first African-American to chair the House Appropriations Subcommittee on State\, Foreign Operations\, and Related Programs.

SUMMARY:Manny’s: Honduras & The Drug Trade:SF Chronicle Editor in Chief + Reporters Discuss
DESCRIPTION:The open air drug markets in San Francisco drug trade is one of the main issues affecting San Francisco today.

Duration 1 hour  \nTickets are on a sliding scale basis starting at $30 \nNo one turned away due to lack of funds\, please contact visit@500cappstreet.org \nLa Pocha Nostra’s Artistic Directors Balitrónica and Gómez-Peña will present a duet performance featuring excerpts from their most recent performance manuscripts and bank of ritual actions. Utilizing a casino roulette and several tarot decks\, Balitrónica will use various forms of oracular magic to select spoken word texts and props for Gómez-Peña’s live performance. The fate of the script and the performance are determined by methods of divination\, chance\, and direct contact with the spirits that be at the dining room of 500 Capp Street. \nAlso on view in the Dining Room starting August 3rd is an evolving exhibition of selected objects from Gomez-Peña’s own “living archives” arranged in dialog with the eclectic collection already inhabiting the room. Curated by Emma Tramposch (La Pocha Nostra’s Executive Director and Curator of the Living Archives) and Lian Ladia (Curator\, Exhibitions and Programs\, 500 Capp Street). Both partners have been investigating topics vital to a current conversation about decolonization and the nature and future of museums and collecting—including who is served and represented by museums\, what it means to curate an archive for artistic reinvention\, political dialog and spiritual survival. \nAbout the Artists \nGuillermo Gómez-Peña is a performance artist\, writer\, activist\, radical pedagogue and artistic director of the performance troupe La Pocha Nostra.

SUMMARY:Manny’s: Hot Labor Summer: Is Union Organizing Having a Resurgence?
DESCRIPTION:If you’ve been reading the news lately then you’ve probably seen reporting on a lot of major wins for labor unions around the country…or at the very least big strikes and fights being waged for fair compensation of their members. \nBetween Amazon\, Starbucks\, and the recent writers and actors strikes in Hollywood the question is out there is this a hot labor summer or a longer-term trend? \nComing to Manny’s to discuss this very question are two of San Francisco’s most senior labor leaders Rudy Gonzalez\, of the building and trades\, and Kim Tavaglione\, The executive director of the San Francisco Labor Council. \nIs there something going on around the country right now\, perhaps something about the post pandemic era\, that’s making labor unions stronger and more bold? \nOr has this been going on the whole time and it’s just being reported on more in this moment. What are folks fighting for and what are they entitled to? How does the advent of AI and streaming tools and gig workers affect the fight for fair compensation and fair work practices these days? \nM﻿anny’s never turns away someone due to lack of funds. If you need a complimentary ticket\, please email the title of the event and the word “grapefruit” to angelina@welcometomannys.com \nWant to support community members? By purchasing a “Pay It Forward” ticket you will allow us to provide free tickets to those who may not be able to afford entry otherwise and ensure we can create a diverse socio-economic audience that represents San Francisco. \nA﻿bout Rudy Gonzalez: \nRudy Gonzalez carried his first Union card at the age of 18 as a member of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. After serving the rank and file as shop steward\, he volunteered as a member organizer and learned to campaign in the South\, where he saw firsthand the struggle that workers face when they attempt to unionize under hostile conditions. \nInformed by his Catholic upbringing’s social justice doctrine and motivated by a sense of stewardship instilled by his father’s lifelong career as a firefighter\, he found purpose in building power for workers. \nIn 2008\, he was hired as a full-time Business Representative and Organizer for Teamsters 856. He negotiated private agreements under the NLRA and RLA and public sector contracts under MMBA\, EERA\, and HEERA. After rising to the rank of Organizing Director and was elected twice as Vice President. During his time at 856\, he led organizing campaigns that nearly doubled the size and strength of the local union\, which now boasts 17\,000 members. \nIn May of 2018\, Rudy was selected by his peers on the SFLC Executive Committee to assist the Council as Interim Executive Director. In August of 2018\, Rudy was nominated and elected unanimously by the Council delegates to a two-year term\, becoming the first person of color and youngest person elected in the 125-year history of the SFLC. \nAt the Labor Council\, Rudy led the staff team to assist affiliated unions with political mobilization\, contract campaigns\, and strategic organizing. Under his leadership\, the Council shored up its finances\, hired the first-ever Campaign Director\, and revamped the political and affiliate support apparatus. Rudy oversaw program expansion of the We Rise SF labor center for immigrant rights which serves workers and families with naturalization services and other immigration casework. The Council also unified labor to win both the highest minimum compensation ordinance for home care workers in the US and a citywide project labor agreement for construction workers. \nIn 2021\, Gonzalez was elected to lead the San Francisco Building & Construction Trades Council. Under his leadership\, affiliated unions won the first community workforce agreement in the State with the University of California for over 1 billion dollars in work. The Council has launched a first of its kind program to ready women of color and non-binary workers for apprenticeship and mentor them into union and/or industry leadership. The Council also sponsored legislation to help prevent exploitation of the residential construction sector by authoring and winning the Wage Theft Prevention Act of 2022. \nRudy enjoys volunteering his time on various non-profit boards and spending his off time with his family in Oakland\, where he resides with his wife\, Sarah\, and their three children\, Zoe (14)\, Jules (12)\, Isaac (5)\, and the Council mascot\, Oliver The Bulldog. \nA﻿bout Kim Tavaglione \nKim Tavaglione joined the Council as Campaign Director in September of 2018\, after serving as an Executive Committee member for nearly a decade. Kim previously worked as a representative with SEIU and then as community and political director at NUHW\, bringing years of experience organizing and campaigning with public\, private\, and nonprofit workers. \nIn 2020 Kim moved into the role of Executive Director of the Council\, becoming the first woman to lead the Council. Kim uses her leadership and experience to assist affiliates with strategy development to continuously build power for the working-class movement.
