5:00 pm
Driving though Oakland / Skipping the grooves in our brains
Violet Juno will lead limo passengers on a brain stimulating ride that explores the fascinating interrelationships between the creative art practice and neuroplasticity—the ability of the brain to change itself. We may be passengers on the glam pink hummer limo, but we are always the driver of our own brain. Join us as we steer our brains around potholes, skip the needle to new grooves, and use our ingenuity to create new neural pathways for discovery and joy.
Violet Juno is a transdisciplinary performance artist whose work explores the dynamic and intersectional relationships between language/languagelessness, disabilities/super abilities, and binary/non-binary gender identities. Violet’s work often combines text, sound, visual tableaus, kinetic sculpture, movement and a unique form of three-dimensional mapping to create multi-sensory experiences for audience members. Violet has performed at 75 venues in 40 cities and served as a visiting artist at 22 universities since 1990.

6:40 pm
Storying Down the Walls: A Narrative Revolt
Come hear us tell a story - a myth about the creation of walls. And what lies buried, forgotten, inside them, behind them. How walls shape our dreams at night, color our neighborhoods and friendships by day, exiling us from ourselves and each other.
Leslie Marmon Silko said "Don't be fooled. Stories aren't just entertainment; they're all we have to fight illness and death."
It’s the story that matters. Some bring death. Others bring life. We'll tell you a story. Then, you'll help us build a new one, a brave one. For if stories can build walls, they can tear them down, set us free, keep us alive. Journey with us and we'll story down the walls together …
Helen Klonaris is a writer of stories, a teacher of myth, and a practitioner of energy medicine. She lives in the East Bay and teaches at the Academy of Art University in SF. She is co-editor of the recently published anthology Writing the Walls Down: A Convergence of LGBTQ Voices, with Trans-Genre Press.

7:30 pm
Limonauts Gamble For The Fate Of Oakland
L.M. Bogad will guide all intrepid Limo-nauts on a DRIVE-BY AUCTION of cosmic proportions throughout Oakland. Come dressed as a galactic oligarch from the future, hell-bent on gambling against your rivals from the Trump Nebula and beyond for the ultimate real-estate grab. Be prepared to bid! And to sell! This lecture within a game will ask: what are you in the market for?
L.M. Bogad is Associate Professor of Performance Studies at U.C. Davis. He is the author of the books Tactical Performance: The Theory and Practice of Serious Play and Electoral Guerrilla Theatre: Radical Ridicule and Social Movements, and the plays COINTELSHOW: A Patriot Act (PM Press, 2011; performed this February at the San Francisco Mime Troupe), HAYMARKET, SANTIAGO 9/11, and GGPS: The Guillermo Gómez-Peña Global Positioning System. Bogad is a veteran of the Lincoln Center Director's Laboratory and cofounder of the Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army.

He has performed, lectured and led art-activist workshops from Finland to Egypt to Argentina, and was "Art and Controversy" Fellow at Carnegie Mellon and "Humanities and Political Conflict" Fellow at Arizona State University. Bogad is the world's best, worst, and only economusician.
