EARTHLab SF

E.A.R.T.H.Lab SF produces experimental environmental films, performances and art, in collaboration with the Earth. E.A.R.T.H. Join us.

Lab SF is a dynamic hotbed of creativity. We build community by creating collaborative, multidisciplinary art projects that re-envision the Earth, all of its beings, and environmental activism with fresh eyes. Our organization expands prevailing notions of environmental art, challenges the mainstream’s binary concepts of gender, sexuality, and race, and incorporates inclusive, diverse, and imagina

tive possibilities for sustainable living. We champion the adoption of public policies based on scientifically informed environmental practices; our projects promote love, tolerance, sustainability, and peace. We make movies, produce performances, present talks, host symposiums, create images, do pop-ups, and support artists and activists we love. Much of our work takes place across unceded, ancestral homelands of the Muwekma and Ramaytush Ohlone, Miwok, and Mutsun and Awaswas-speaking peoples on Uypi Tribal land. They are the past, present, and future stewards of this place commonly known as the San Francisco Bay Area. We recognize that colonization is an ongoing cultural, political, and ecological process, and we honor those peoples for whom this land has been a home for thousands of years. Their stewardship has allowed the land to flourish in ways that benefited colonizers past and present. Now, as we enjoy, experience, and fight for the protection of this land, we must affirm the sovereign rights of indigenous communities and the traditional and contemporary evolutions of their culture. As colonization is a tool of domination by the heteropatriarchal nation-state, so too is systemic and deeply entrenched racism. Over recent years we have witnessed, endorsed, and championed the growing power of the Black Lives Matter movement and its calls to action. We stand in solidarity with all those working to dismantle white supremacy. We see the struggles of our Black, Indigenous, Latinx and other colleagues, friends, and fellow humans and, in our work, endeavor to create spaces in which racial and other diversity is celebrated. We won't always succeed, and we acknowledge the unearned privilege afforded to us. We commit to working towards a world in which all are free from discrimination, fear, bias, and harm, and where all have equal access to education, a living wage, housing, medical care, visibility, power, healthy food, and beautiful parks to enjoy.

Found the most awesome restaurant/bar in SF. It's called Old Skool Cafe, and it's all a youth run restaurant that is a non profit org helping young adults learn skills to help them in their life. The food was divine, drinks yummy, prices quite good. I wanna take you there. We went for the food and got so INSPIRED!!! A GREAT way to help kids on parole, homeless youth, and foster kids, etc. The LOVE there was palpable. WE met the chef and restauranteur, and staff was awesome. It's just 6 minutes from our house. We'll be going there lots more. The woman that started it was a police officer and was heartbroken by the kids hopeless attitudes and lack of support, so she started this place. Just go!

Old Skool Cafe is a youth-run, jazz-themed restaurant in San Francisco.

The Reverend Cecile Williams, left his body today. Two days ago, Lordres Portillo, Chicana filmmaker extraordinaire left hers too. The heat is getting intense and homage to them both. I want to share a memory about Cecile and his wife, Janet Mirikitami (once poet laureate of SF). While I did not know them well, Annie Sprinkle and I were blessed to be sainted by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence at the same time that Cecil and Janet were sainted too. We were sainted together. And what an honor that was. It felt more important that the Guggenheim. And I want to dedicate today, Earth Day to Cecil and Janet. While I am not a religious person, I experienced them in action at Glide Memorial Church and they were spiritual, smooth and silky, soulful and connected to something much bigger than themselves. They inspire me to embrace social justice, even more than I already do. Blessed Be.
