We are here to slow down the panic and give you a clear place to process the complexity. Across four live sessions\, we will move beyond hype\, panic\, and abstract concern to building a solid foundation for understanding what AI is\, how it works\, and how to make sense of the range of opportunities and harms that exist. We will examine concrete case studies\, practice making complex decisions around AI usage\, intervention\, and accountability\, and restore agency by creating practical options beyond all-or-nothing.

SUMMARY:Performance - The Table
DESCRIPTION:The Table is a new work of performance that explores insatiability\, grief\, and the body within larger systems. Through immersive\, visceral meditations and a fever dream-like performance language—combining movement\, puppetry\, and everyday objects—the work opens liminal\, shifting worlds where anything can become a portal. Rooted in Pink Fang’s legacy of socially engaged\, interdisciplinary performance\, the work centers collective experience\, relational exchange\, and the body as a site of inquiry. Both poetic and unsettling\, it examines the forces that drive desire and dissatisfaction\, asking a central question: What is enough?

SUMMARY:Screening - THE GAS STATION ATTENDANT
DESCRIPTION:As a young boy\, H. N. Shantha Murthy ran away from home to escape the extreme poverty of his Indian village. He traveled the country in search of work\, dreaming that one day his life would change. It did\, following a serendipitous encounter with a couple visiting India from Houston\, Texas. But life in the States was not exactly the “American Dream” come true. Karla Murthy’s film weaves together home videos and phone conversations recorded while her father worked as a gas station attendant in Texas. Alongside his story\, she reflects on her own experiences as the daughter of immigrants (her mother is from the Philippines)\, trying to make a life of her own in New York City\, and now as a mother of two boys. What emerges is an intimate love letter – a meditation on a complicated father-daughter relationship and a poignant tribute to the immigrant working class. \nSpecial Engagements: \n\nFri Jun 12\, 7pm: Post-Screening Q&A with director Karla Murthy and writer Mira Jacob\nSat Jun 13\, 6pm: Post-Screening Q&A with director Karla Murthy and composer and podcaster Jad Abumrad\nSun Jun 14\, 5pm: Post-Screening Q&A with director Karla Murthy and executive producer and founder of Basement Bhangra DJ Rekha\nThu Jun 18\, 6:30pm: Post-Screening Q&A with director Karla Murthy and Economic Hardship Reporting Project’s Alissa Quart
