Fashion Show! Fashion Show! Fashion Show!

Urban Guerilla Theater presents: FASHION FOR THE PEOPLE! a benefit for the Albany Social Justice Center

When: November 18th doors open at 6pm

Where: WAMC's The Linda

Why: A fundraiser for the Social Justice Center and a FLY FASHION SHOW

TICKETS ON SALE NOW: $10.00 (message SJC)

This will be a truly unique fashion show that will push the boundaries of the clothing industry’s typical messaging and raise awareness for local clothing artist and vendors. The fashion show will be a canvass for conversation about sustainable/green clothing, sweat-free/worker friendly production, and gender expression.

Bell's Roar is the Solo Project of Sean Desiree. The music builds from its layered guitar effects, lusty beats, and crisp vocal stylings, at times, reminiscent of 1930's crooners. Though her songs are anything but sentimental.

dancealisadance composes original music as inspired from sad room/root of their little giant heart. dancealisadance sings about heartache, oceans, being a mom and queer/dear love.

Evan Greer from Riot Folk and Spiritchild from Mental Notes

ABOUT THE BACK TO THE ROOTS TOUR:
rEvolutionary hip hop for justice
queer riot-folk for liberation

Hip-Hop has been gentrified. Folk music has been watered down. Punk rock sold out. Inbthe face of this mainstream betrayal, two of the movement's most dynamic performers have joined forces to take their respective genres BACK TO THE ROOTS, celebrating the role of music in people's resistance to oppression around the word. Evan Greer and spiritchild are revolutionary artists from radically different musical styles who share a common commitment to using their craft as a tool and a weapon in direct support of grassroots struggles for change

First "Feather Weight"© Green Roof ever installed is now on our roof! This is a great new technology that allows us to have the benefits of a green roof; better urban air quality, cooler building in the summer, and animal habitat, without the intense weight that our old roof cannot support . This design is based on plants that vine with the soil concentrated on the parapets at the perimeter. Many thanks to the NYS DEC for pr oviding us with the grant to create the roof. Thanks also to Hudson Valley Natural Building for the design and installation.

Eat for Peace!
