More Free Skool classes

And upcoming shows!


Friday! 12/2: 


-The Principles of Pleasure Film Screening and Discussion – Fridays, December 2nd, 9th, 16th / 5 – 7 p.m. with Stefania Cotei, Ariella Patchen (stefaniacotei@gmail.com)


Location: SubRosa, 703 Pacific Avenue, Santa Cruz, CA


Description:  Join us for a three part screening of the documentary, "The Principles of Pleasure", to learn more about how patriarchy and capitalism have oppressed, racialized, gendered, and classed pleasure of the body, mind, and spirit. With a documentary that explores the relationship between social phenomena and scientific research, we will learn about not only how to cherish and celebrate our bodies, but also how to use our access to pleasure as a weapon against the oppressive social, political, economic systems in which we find ourselves today. Screening (50 mins)+ Discussion (30 mins). - NOTE: showing inside - please wear a mask!


Sunday! 12/4:


-Getting into Foreign Cinema – 4 – 5 p.m. with Taylor Gorman (Yimyamet@gmail.com) and following Sundays too!


Location:  SubRosa, 703 Pacific Avenue, Santa Cruz, CA


Description:  Outside of class, we will watch movies on Kanopy, which is a free streaming service you can access with your local library card. We will watch a movie before each class, ranging from French New Wave to the cinema of Japan and India, and then talk about how these works fit into cinema history and influence. Materials:  Just a library card and a Kanopy account with it.


-Poetry Workshop – 5 – 7 p.m. with Taylor Gorman (Yimyamet@gmail.com) and following Sundays too!


Location:  SubRosa, 703 Pacific Avenue, Santa Cruz, CA


Description:  In this class, we will write poetry (both in and out of class) and workshop our pieces to work on editing, tone, voice, style, and constructive criticism. We will also analyze the work of other contemporary poets. You don't need to have written any poetry before–the class is open to everyone. Materials:  I will bring all the stuff, or steal it from work.


Monday! 12/5:


-Fábrica Open Hours – Saturdays / 2-5 p.m. and Mondays / 1-4 p.m. with Fábrica Collective (thefabrica@thefabrica.org)


Location: The Fábrica, 703 Pacific Avenue, Santa Cruz, CA


Description: The Fábrica is a community workspace where folks can come to learn and share knowledge about textiles arts. This includes Sewing, Knitting, Quilting, Embroidery, Crochet, and Bookbinding, among others. The workshop is operated by volunteers and funded by donations from participants.


-Drag Workshop – 5:30 – 8 p.m. with RoxyMoron (Instagram: @roxxy.moron) and following Mondays


Location:  SubRosa, 703 Pacific Avenue, Santa Cruz, CA


Description:  An open forum for people that do/want to do drag to get together, exchange ideas, practice performing or work on making outfits together! I also envision at least one of the sessions as a group trip to a thrift store (or similar). I don't really like the idea of calling it a "class" or myself a "teacher", because art is so subjective, but I think it would be fun to facilitate a program like that so people can do it collectively and all share knowledge and experience 🙂 Materials:  Nothing required, but if you are working on anything for your own drag art, you should bring it!


Tuesday! 12/6:


-Zine Share and Staple – Tuesday, December 6th / 1 p.m. with frog (@froggy.doll instagram)


Location:  "Plaza Lane" alley near the teahouse & the Tabby Cat.


Description:  Come share zines, pamphlets, and fliers  you like or have written, or come see what others have to offer! We can work on and brainstorm ideas for zines of course too!


Materials:  Optional bring zines or art supplies to make zines.

Comments on the SubRosa website are fully moderated. As a collective, we agreed that the purpose of the website was to promote SubRosa, not to provide an online place for lively and invigorating debate. We hope that the space itself is where conversations on the nature of anarchism and local projects will take place. That said, we occasionally approve comments that are informative or reflect a viewpoint we feel it is important for website visitors to read.
