SUMMARY:Reuse and Reimagine: Slow Circuits Wire Weaving
DESCRIPTION:Slow Circuits is a participatory weaving circle where participants will collectively weave a textile installation from discarded electronic wires. The process is accompanied by a facilitated discussion that explores the extractive origins of technologies\, their lifecycles\, and their afterlives. \nBy slowing down the pace of technological consumption and inviting tactile engagement with the remnants of our digital lives\, Slow Circuits transforms waste into a medium of connection and care\, inviting participants to confront their own entanglements within global extractive supply chains while learning practical skills for repair and reuse. Through this collective practice\, the workshop makes visible the material and ecological costs embedded in our technologies and examines how the pace\, planned obsolescence and linearity of modern technology proliferation exacerbates inequities along race\, gender\, and class lines.\n\nSign Up >

SUMMARY:Spring into Street Tree Care Volunteer Event
DESCRIPTION:Join the Lower East Side Ecology Center in welcoming spring by taking care of street trees in the East Village! Volunteers will help remove weeds and litter\, apply compost made from NYC food scraps\, and plant bulbs in local tree beds. Kneeling\, squatting\, or lifting might be among the physical activities. \nSign up Here! \nStreet tree care events serve to both create awareness about NYC’s urban ecology and educate residents on the multitude of benefits healthy trees provide our neighborhoods. The idea is for the food scraps to be repurposed and redistributed back to the community as compost through greening projects. Street tree care events are one of many ways we accomplish this mission and your participation helps to further this cause.
