Reminder: Streetopia: The Gentrification of The Mind with Sarah Sch... @ Mon May 21 7:30pm - 10pm (Queer Things)

Streetopia: The Gentrification of The Mind with Sarah Schulman at Luggage Store

At The Luggage Store Gallery
1007 Market Street (@6th)

"The Gentrification of The Mind" a reading and panel discussion
with author, Sarah Schulman and members of Homonomixxx, Gay Shame and ACT UP San Francisco.

Is San Francisco the first completely gentrified city in the United
States? Award winning playwright, novelist, and... memoirist, Sarah
Schulman visits from New York City to read and share thoughts from her latest memoir, The Gentrification of The Mind: Witness To a Lost Imagination, in which she considers the toll of gentrification on the political and cultural imagination of cities like NYC and SF. On this night, the 33rd anniversary of the White Night Riot, Schulman, the co-coordinator of the ACT UP Oral History Project, also considers the roll AIDS played in the gentrification of these cities. Schulman will be joined by members of SF's queer activist groups, Homonomixx, Gay Shame and ACT UP San Francisco for a discussion about bringing the tactics and urgency of ACT UP into today's struggles.

We will be giving away a free zine with writing by people from Homonomixx, HAVOQ, ACT UP San Francisco, Gay Shame, as well as an excerpt from Sarah Schulmanns book
