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.


  • Bees! Intro to beekeeping - Thursday, July 11th / 3:30pm with Olivia Sandoval (liv) ( @liverbugs & @botanicalbitchzine ) - a part of the 2024 summer session of @freeskoolsantacruz 


Location: SubRosa, 703 Pacific Avenue, Santa Cruz, CA - @subrosa_space

The sale will be in the garden courtyard of the Hub Community Center and inside the Fábrica from 12 - 4pm. We will have tons of fabric, sewing patterns, knitting and crochet tools, yarn, notions, sewing machines, and vintage clothes for sale at great prices! 


This is a fundraiser to support the continued operation of our community textile arts workshop. Please share!


Note: The Fábrica is not only our neighbor at the Hub Community Center where we share the courtyard but also folk involved with the project are our friends. The Fábrica started at the Hub a couple years after SubRosa, and we have shared so much over the many years - collective members (being in both projects sometimes simultaneously and sometimes sequentially) and wonderful events and have supported each other in so many ways (including the Bike Church in this too). Come to their yard sale and support a wonderful project with fabulous people.

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. 


Do you want to join SubRosa in solidarity with the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band?

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.
