I AIN'T A WOMAN: WOMEN OF COLOR SPEAK OF ACTIVISM
 Long after Sojourner Truth pondered the question – “Ain’t I A Woman?” we continue to face a white supremacist culture that undermines women of color, young women, undocumented immigrants, and the LGBTQ community. We’re convening this panel to ignite a discourse about the real experiences of women of color in the feminist movement and beyond.
We know that the movements to eradicate racism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia and sexism are inextricably connected. We reject the silencing and subjugation of women of color and aim to create a safe and courageous space to raise our voices, confront tensions, celebrate our triumphs, create collective solutions and share our stories. Through this sharing, we can create a united front so that, instead of surviving through silence, there can be a dialogue on how to battle institutionalized oppression.
Speaking our truth is crucial to our survival. By gathering together and learning from our shared and individual tales of love and struggle, we will each emerge with new perspectives that will enable us to engender the change we envision for the world.
As Bell Hooks states, “There can be no feminist revolution without an end to racism, classism, ageism …”

PARISIAN BURLESQUE
 Ahh, Paris in the spring. You watch as the sun slowly sets over the rooftops, punctuated by the sound of church bells and whistling shopkeepers, closing their doors for the evening. The scent of hyancith and roses wafts through your nose. You glance down to the corner where your lover awaits under lamplight, looking smart and sexy in a finely tailored jacket. You get closer, and notice that there are surprises underneath that conservative layer of fabric.
You both giggle and escape into the darkness, enveloped by a seductive mist. The night is yours.
L’Amour!
Please join us for a special evening of Burlesque, inspired by classic Paris.

GET SMART: GREG LINDSAY ON THE "AEROTROPOLIS"
We once built cities around harbors or railroad terminals, which led to the familiar shapes of Amsterdam, Venice, New York and Chicago. But the cities built to take advantage of a hyper-competitive global economy are taking shape around something else instead: the airport. These cities have a name – the aerotropolis. They’re rising around China, India, and the Middle East as each region prepares to take its place on the world stage. They are to our era of instant gratification – the Instant Age – what terminal cities like downtown Chicago and Manhattan were to America’s Gilded Age in the latter half the 19th Century.
Galapagos Art Space is pleased to present its next installment of “Get Smart,” an original new multimedia programming series that features experts in an array of stimulating subjects who impart their knowledge and insight within a fun, laidback cocktail setting On April 8, Galapagos welcomes writer Greg Lindsay. Mr. Lindsay, author of Aerotropolis: The Way We’ll Live Next (March 2011), writes frequently about the intersection of transportation, urbanization, and globalization. He is a contributing writer for Fast Company, and has written for Fortune, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, Wired, and Time.

THE MACHINES PROJECT: GUIDONIAN HAND, ONI BUCHANAN, DUO ORFEO, AND ARTHUR GANSON
 Ariel Artists presents three of its brightest young stars in the contemporary classical world – Guidonian Hand, Oni Buchanan, and Duo Orfeo – together for an evening of slow-burning wonder and painstaking music construction, held together by the delicate workings of Arthur Ganson’s renowned mechanized kinetic sculptures.
As Ganson’s sculptures and films ratchet along through the night on stage, screen and ghostly shadows, a full program of mysterious works from the recent past and brand new compositions of the uncertain present will be performed by this incredible and diverse lineup of musicians.
The New York City trombone quartet Guidonian Hand has made a name for themselves with an inspired attack on all things trombone, from post-modern jungle of Galen Brown to the midnight moods of Thelonious Monk and choral works from Mozart and Debussy. The group has recently commissioned and premiered exciting works that head in all different directions from composers like Galen Brown and Conrad Winslow, with several more new pieces in the works.
