I’ve had a fantasy recently of getting a bunch of people dressed as either John Lennon or Yoko Ono to go out bowling.
The Garden workday is from 1-3pm on Sunday. Wear clothes you can work in and don’t mind getting dirty.
The Community Garden is a student-led project that is attempting to increase the amount of organic produce that students consume on campus. We are currently building the garden; it’s located on a small patch of land behind the Freeman center. It’s not finished yet, but we’re trying to get plants in the ground quickly. We’re currently finishing some raised beds, digging a terrace, and erecting a fence; that’s probably what we’ll work on tomorrow.
To reach the Smart Home from East campus, drive down Campus Drive for about two minutes and take a right on Swift Avenue. Take another right on Faber Street.
To reach the Smart Home from Broad Street, Drive to the South end where it becomes Swift Avenue. Then take a left on Faber street.
Hi folks, today’s the day of silence. It’s a day when participants are silent “in recognition of those who are forced to be silent due to anti-LGBT bullying and violence.” You can choose what media you choose to be silent in and how long you choose to be silent. If you’d like to participate in the protest, just pick up a button from the BC Plaza so people will know what you’re doing. Otherwise, just pick a length of time and see what social effects emerge from your being silent.
Annie Sprinkle and Elizabeth M. Stephens are COMING to UNC-CH Tuesday, April 14th 5:30 PM Hanes Art Center.
*This event is ***FREE*** and open to the public*
ADVENTURES OF THE LOVE ART LABORATORY
With Annie Sprinkle and Elizabeth Stephens
‘We, Elizabeth M. Stephens and Annie Sprinkle, are an artist couple committed to doing projects that explore, generate, and celebrate love. We utilize visual art, installation, theater pieces, interventions, live-art, exhibitions, lectures, printed matter and activism. Each year we orchestrate one or more interactive performance art weddings in
collaboration with various national and international communities, then display the ephemera in art galleries.
Our projects incorporate the colors and themes of the chakras, a structure inspired by Linda M. Montano’s 14 Years of Living Art. The Love Art Laboratory grew out of our response to the violence of war, the anti-gay marriage movement, and our prevailing culture of cynicism. We hope the Love Art Laboratory will help make the world a more fun, sexy, tolerant, love- filled place.
Love is the new sex! We hope you will join us for a show and tell afternoon.”
Annie Sprinkle, Ph.D. is an artist and sexologist.
Elizabeth Stephens a professor of art and is the Chair of the Art Dept. at UCSC.
Relay for Life runs until midnight on West today.

I can’t find her original text, but there’s a Yoko Ono instruction piece where you walk until you have to turn, and then always make a left. I thought we might incorporate some sort of instructional (directional?) parameter on our walking day.
