Happening at SubRosa! And elsewhere!

Happening at SubRosa! And elsewhere!

SubRosa is a collectively run anarchist community space - 

let's create together the world(s) we want to live in now.

• Aulinta: An Introduction to a Critical Utopia – Saturday, June 29th / 11am – 1pm AND Monday, July 8th / 6pm with Blaize Wilkinson (stblaize@gmail.com)

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

Description: The Aulinta Project is a multi-year social art practice, involving over 100 contributors. The project posits an alternate-present timeline, where decisions made in the 1970s have resulted in a nearly-post-scarcity, more decolonial, and more liberating world. This event will have the project founder, Blaize Wilkinson, give an introduction to the project, its history, its current status, its goals, and its future. Audience participation in the questions of goals and future will be solicited. Both past, current, and future participants are welcome and there will probably be something for nearly everyone?

Note: This event will take place inside. Masks are encouraged.

-And another neighbor - Bike Church // Open Hours, Thursday - Monday, 12–5pm (Repeats every week) 

AND W.T.F. (Women, trans, femme) bike days are back! Every Tuesday starting from 5 - 8pm -  we will be open to anyone identifying as female, trans, femme, non-binary and gender-queer <3 if you do not identify as any of the above, come by the shop a different day! :) 

About our wonderful neighbor, The Bike Church (enter on Spruce St) - "The Bike Church is a project of the Hub and has been Santa Cruz's only community bike shop since 1998. Our shop functions in a DIY/DIT (Do-It-Together) manner: we provide the tools, space and instruction for individuals to fix their own bike with the guidance of knowledgeable mechanics. We ask for a donation of $5-15 per hour to use the shop--no one is turned away for lack of funds. We provide used and new parts for affordable prices, and have many used bikes for sale. We give away kids bikes for free. Our shop is run by a collective of mechanics and apprentices who are all paid equally. We use consensus meetings to make decisions about the running of the shop."

SubRosa is part of the Hub Community Center, in downtown Santa Cruz, CA which is the unceded homelands of the Awaswas-speaking Ohlone people known as the Uypi, who stewarded these lands since time immemorial. Centuries of colonial violence led to the removal and displacement of the Uypi. The Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, comprised of the descendants of indigenous people taken to missions Santa Cruz and San Juan Bautista during Spanish colonization of the Central Coast, is today working hard to restore traditional stewardship practices on these lands and heal from historical trauma.
