At a time when everything we love seems to be at risk, Joanna Macy offers a kind of road map for this unique moment in human history when we must come alive to our truest power, to “look straight into the face of our time,” and to participate in the Great Turning.
What is the Great Turning? It is, as Joanna describes it, the shift from the industrial growth society to a life-sustaining one. It is, she believes, the third major revolution of human times, after the agricultural and industrial revolutions. This one, though, has to unfold much more quickly. The good news is that it is, all around the world.
“The most remarkable feature of this historical moment on Earth,” says Joanna, “Is not that we are on the way to destroying the world — we’ve actually been on the way for quite a while. It is that we are beginning to wake up, as from a millennia-long sleep, to a whole new relationship to our world, to ourselves and each other.”

Ungliðahreyfing Íslandsdeildar Amnesty International býður ungu fólki að taka þátt í skiltagerð vegna mótmæla sem fara munu fram á Austurvelli 16:15 næstkomandi laugardag.
Skiltagerð fer fram í Andrými kl. 14, laugardaginn 28. maí.
//
The youth movement of the Icelandic branch of Amnesty International invites young people to take part in sign making for the protest that will take place at Austurvöllur at 16:15 next Saturday.
Sign making takes place in Andrými at 14:00, on Saturday May 28th.
On Sunday May 29th, Andrými will host Edie Roberts and Chelsea Tadeyeske, two queer performance poets from the United States.
Edie and Chelsea recently spent a month-long residency at Gamli Skóli on Hrísey island where they completed a collaborative project titled “what if loving you wasn’t about me?”.
They will perform sections of this project as well as some of their own work.
“What if loving you wasn’t about me?” is an investigation of the ways we love each other. The project traces connections between scarcity mindsets and confessional modalities imported from capitalism and private property into our ideas of romance and pair-bonding. The performance utilizes two voices, to bring the tension of the the text to life then ultimately reaches for a joyous queer vision of something radically different.
There will also be an open mic at the start of the evening – you are encouraged to bring your own poems or short stories about relating, unconventional love or joyous queer sex to share.
Doors at 19:00

Roberts and Tadeyeske are seasoned performers who have toured extensively throughout the United States, Canada, the UK and Europe.
Chelsea Tadeyeske is a poet, performer, and bookmaker from Milwaukee, WI. She is the founding editor of pitymilk press, publishing short-run chapbooks and journals both online and in physical form. She has released many chapbooks including, the floor of a cage floating above the floor of a house (bathmatics, 2019), if you bend it backwards nothing really happens (Rabbit Catastrophe, 2016) and we were all born with the right to be angry (bathmatics, 2016), as well as the short story collection Princess Diana, (bathmatics, 2019). By tracing comedic edges around uncomfortable and private tragic experiences both on the page and in performance, Chelsea teases out the feels and makes a soft weapon of vulnerability. Her work can be found online at Hobart, Landfill, DEAR Poetry, Leopardskin & Limes, among others. She is a Virgo sun/Libra rising/Aquarius moon born in the year of the snake. chelseatadeyeske.wordpress.com, pitymilkpress.wordpress.com, IG @pity_milk, @pitymilk_press
Edie Roberts is a rabbit with a hat: a genderqueer mouthpiece ponied up to bat, cheeks fat with american anxiety and morale relay.

Titles include The Roof is On Fire pt.1&2 (2012/2016), The Heel and The Face (2016), Little Book of Shit (2016), Everywhere You Go (2019) and Ain’t Life Grand (2020). They lend hands, eyes and heart at pitymilk press and run a hapdash production site called bathmatics when there is time and purpose bubbling.
