STRIKE: Igniting the Fuse of Possibility
(A City Lights May Day event)

STRIKE addresses strategies of resistance. We pose the question: what serves as meaningful resistance in an age of disaster capitalism? We shall explore the liberation of the commons- through poetry, performance, music, and magic.

An evening of narratives that cut through the core of the neo-liberal agenda. 30 local poets, performers, fiction writers, playwrights, and musicians deliver 3 minute pieces offering imaginative responses to the hunger of global capital and its effects upon community.
