our upcycling workshop with sam is an invitation to reimagine what you already own— a hands-on, creative way to give your clothing a second life.

when: april 23rd from 6 to 8 pm

how it works: bring one clothing item from your closet— something you love but don’t wear, or a piece that feels ready for a refresh. in this workshop with sam roberts, you'll explore the art of hand stitching to give a new life to an article of clothing you want. you'll learn basic sewing and embroidery techniques to hand-stitch and apply your patches and fabrics onto the garment (jacket, pants, shirt) or tote you bring. natural fibers work the best- cotton, linen, etc. 

sam will guide you through a range of upcycling techniques, offering multiple approaches so you can choose what feels right for your piece. whether it’s subtle updates or a more transformed look, you’ll leave with something uniquely yours.

this workshop is beginner-friendly and open to all— no prior experience needed, just a willingness to experiment and get a little creative.

cost to participate: $35

location: basic. + grounds

believe it or not, japanese cuisine in general is actually quite vegan-friendly, and many dishes can be made vegan with just a simple substitution or two.

you can enjoy the same big, bold, salty-sweet-spicy-rich-umami recipes of modern japanese soul food without so much as glancing down the meat and dairy aisles. and best of all, it's super easy to make!

in vegan japaneasy, tim anderson taps into japan's rich culture of cookery that's already vegan or very nearly vegan, so there are no sad substitutes and zero shortcomings on taste. from classics like vegetable tempura, onigiri, mushroom gyoza, and fried tofu in dashi, to clever vegan conversions including cauliflower katsu curry, french onion ramen, and sichuan-style hot and numbing tofu with ancient grains, you don't need to be vegan to enjoy these tasty recipes. add to that some outrageously good drinks and desserts, like the watermelon mojito and soy sauce butterscotch brownies, and you'll be spoilt for choice!

vibrate higher: a rap story: talib kweli reflects on his journey from a brooklyn kid with a passion for hip-hop to becoming one of the genre's most socially conscious artists. growing up surrounded by artists, rappers, and djs, he was part of the first generation to experience hip-hop as an established cultural force. through collaborations with icons like mos def, kanye west, and kendrick lamar, kweli gained prominence, while also taking control of his own career. his story not only tracks his personal rise but also highlights hip-hop’s role as a political tool, one that has shaped movements like black lives matter and continues to challenge rising white nationalism.

renowned photographer miguel flores-vianna’s visual diary of his travels through 14 countries on 5 continents

miguel flores-vianna’s childhood in argentina was marked by two constants that he believes shaped the life he chose to lead: travel and books. perhaps because the country feels like it is located at the end of the world, most argentines are born with a good dose of wanderlust, and flores-vianna had a higher dose than normal. books helped him discover places both literally and figuratively, creating romantic visions of lands he wanted to visit, and he has gone on to document his peripatetic life with his camera, recording places as he feels they should be rather than as they are.

in this irresistible volume, flores-vianna shares some 250 of his favorite images taken all over europe, africa, asia, and the americas—captured only with his smartphone—in the hope that viewers, seeing the world through his eyes, will learn to love these most wondrous of places as much as he does.
