REAP WHAT YOU SOW: VIRTUAL STORYTELLING EVENT
When: Friday 5/8 8pm
Where: Minnesota Street Project (Virtual)
411: Join Minnesota Street Project and Back Pocket Media for their third and final installment of the SEEDS series, a virtual gathering of journalists, writers, and artists. Featured speakers will share stories about how present actions inevitably shape future consequences – you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll relate. Storytelling has been around since the beginning of humanity, and it continues to be a powerful tool in the way we express our feelings and how we own our narrative. Tune in to hear these true tales, and maybe you’ll learn a thing or two from their lived experiences. // $5 Registration.
SPACESHIP EARTH
When: 5/8 – 5/15
Where: Roxie Cinema (Virtual)
411: Imagine this, you and some of your friends decide to quarantine yourself from the rest of the world – oh wait – we are already doing that. In the early ’90s, a group of scientists and experts decided to isolate themselves in what was called Biosphere 2. The movie “Spaceship Earth” documents the eight visionaries who spent two years inside a replica of Earth’s ecosystem and the real-life obstacles and challenges that came along the way. The stranger than fiction film is showing in the Roxie’s virtual theatre, and half of all proceeds go to supporting the theatre. // $3.99 Ticket.
