Book Discussion: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Seconds before Earth is demolished to make way for a galactic freeway, Arthur Dent is plucked off the planet by his friend Ford Prefect, a researcher for the revised edition of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy who, for the last fifteen years, has been posing as an out-of-work actor.

Together, this dynamic pair began a journey through space aided by a galaxyful of fellow travelers: Zaphod Beeblebrox—the two-headed, three-armed ex-hippie and totally out-to-lunch president of the galaxy; Trillian (formerly Tricia McMillan), Zaphod’s girlfriend, whom Arthur tried to pick up at a cocktail party once upon a time zone; Marvin, a paranoid, brilliant, and chronically depressed robot; and Veet Voojagig, a former graduate student obsessed with the disappearance of all the ballpoint pens he’s bought over the years.

Self, Systems & Solidarity: Artists for Social Justice

Interested in being a CHANGE MAKER on Staten Island?

Continuing with our commitment to equity in the arts, we are excited to announce a FREE workshop series built for artists and community members interested in coming together to work towards social justice under the lens of art and culture.

The goal of this series is to provide participants with an opportunity to community build and acquire the necessary tools to begin dismantling systems of oppression internally, through their art practice, within an office environment, and/or in their own neighborhoods. With an opportunity for self-reflection and a more clear understanding of how institutions and systems are producing unjust and inequitable outcomes, participants will emerge from the series better equipped to begin to work for change. A key component to the training will be the opportunity for participants to join a community cohort that will provide support for one another after the workshops are completed.

Author Talk: N.K. Jemisin: The City We Became

A roiling, ancient evil stirs in the halls of power, threatening to destroy the city and her six newborn avatars unless they can come together and stop it once and for all.
