10 Upcoming Events at Muncie Liberation Studio

This upcoming Wednesday, we will continue our study session of “Black Scare/Red Scare: Theorizing Capitalist Racism in the United States” by Dr. Charisse Burden-Stelly for Black Study Group. This book discusses the long history of anti-Black and anti-communist/radical repression that has been integral in domestic and foreign US policies and governance, and how racism and racial hierarchy are at the heart of capitalist exploitation and US society.

We will be reading an abridged version of chapter 3, “Genres of Black Radicalism”, and discussing how Radical Blackness embodied the pre-eminent threat of the Black Scare and the Red Scare, exemplified the ultimate threat to the US Capitalist Racist Society, and could be understood through 3 genres: 1) The West Indian, 2) the Outside Agitator, and 3)  Red Black / Black Red

This event will be available in-person and on zoom! 

Back by popular demand, Sapphic Saturday will be coming back on October 17th at the Muncie Liberation Studio in collaboration with the Lavender Closet!

This event will be an easy-going craft and community night focused towards sapphic people, however, everyone is welcome! Crafts include nail polish, bracelet making, group games, and clothing patch making, with supplies provided by @zoe.rosie.prints!

Starting this October, Collage with Comrades events will feature different thematic presentations and discussions that focus on anti-fascist resistance and cultural art/community!

For this Collage with Comrades on October 26th, we will be giving a short presentation on STAR (Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries) and early forms of organized LGBTQ+ resistance. Open questions and discussion will be after the presentation. This is to hopefully center a nice conversation and topic for collage!! The collage activity will be available before, during, and after the presentation.

JOIN US on October 26th to learn about revolutionary queer history and make some fun art to take home!

Supplies will be provided. Bringing your own supplies is encouraged! but not necessary.

**Collage events after the upcoming October 26th date will be hosted on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of every month.**

Come out Saturday, September 26 at 7pm for our monthly Open Mic! This is a space to build people's power, deepen our sense of community, and reclaim art for working people. Bring your art, poetry, comedy, music, and other creative mediums that speak to collective liberation!

Call Out for performers is at 6:30pm.

Join us for another session of our self defense workshop led by Brazilian Jujutsu artist Jared Loper!

Self-defense has a long legacy within left radical traditions and should be understood as necessary for collective safety and a portal towards autonomy, self-determination and liberation.

This is a free, hands-on event where attendees will be trained in basic self-defense skills and will walk away more competent and confident in their ability to defend themselves and their community.
