Please finalize your forms by this Monday at the absolute latest if you'd like to participate. Ruby already sent out a reminder. Whoever does not have their paperwork ready by Monday cannot be considered. Alisa Margolis from Stuttgart Academy will prepare an alternative program for the students who are not as interested in the PP festival, and I will shortly join the trip as well for moral support.

Listen: Fucking Cancelled podcast herehttps://fuckingcancelled.libsyn.com/ Read: https://www.clementinemorrigan.com/product/fuck-the-police-means-we-don-t-ac... Fuck the Police Means We Don't Act Like Cops to Each Other is a collection of writing on resisting cancel culture and building a left grounded in compassion, kindness, freedom, and respect for difference. This zine explores many related issues including: defining cancel culture, how cancel culture perpetuates harm rather than addressing it, what it means to take responsibility when we've harmed someone, the practice of intervening on violent situations, a trauma informed challenge to the 'believe survivors' narrative, the need for dissent and disagreement on the left, nervous system education, and overcoming people pleasing. This zine takes the work of justice and liberation seriously, values the healing and autonomy of survivors, believes no one is disposable, and seeks to build communities that are not punitive or authoritarian. This is a love letter to left we are building together, toward a more just world where we aren't afraid of our friends.

Parallel 2023 If you are interested in participating in this year's Parallel ( September 2023), please send a short proposal to me by the end of May ( until May 31st). If I have yet to see your work of yours recently, please also include some visuals, sketches, or images. The Academy + our class budget will cover the participation fee, but the selected students will have to self-organize and self-fund transportation and installation. I will choose 7-8 positions and let you know by mid-June. Priority will be given to students of later years, but everyone is encouraged to apply.
