Students tackle issues with public demonstrations, Thurs., March 10

CMST
On Thurs., March 10, students from the Communications Studies program will hold public demonstrations in the PUB in an effort to bring critical awareness to social justice issues. Students from CMST 101 and 203 (Intro. to Communications and Communication for Social Change) will present public demonstration performances on Homelessness, the Election, and Gender Neutral Restrooms. Please tell your students about these demonstrations, and take a few moments yourself to observe these performances in the PUB main areas.

9:30 a.m. “Homeless in Seattle” 
Students will create a performative public demonstration on homelessness in Seattle. In this performance, students will challenge some of the dominant stereotypes about homelessness in Seattle and across the nation. We will also be gathering donations for the ROOTS Young Adult Shelter.

10:30 a.m. “What the heck’s a delegate? And the Election beyond”
In this performance, students have divided into four groups (Trump Fanatics, Hill’s Women, Bern Hipsters, and Electoral College news reporters). Through humor and satire, each group will criticize the election spectacle and point out our lack of knowledge in the mysterious election process.

12:30 p.m. “The Gender Neutral Bathroom Museum”
In this public demonstration, students will take over the men’s restroom on the second floor of the PUB and turn it into a bathroom museum. Museum tours are curated and attendees will learn about the history of bathrooms, stereotypical fears about gender neutral bathrooms and information that dispels these fears, options for more inclusive bathrooms, and exit interviews with attendees. Recruiters with tickets will be in the PUB.

“Live! From the Last Night of My Life,” Campus Theater
Thurs., March 10: 7:30 p.m.
live last night
Shoreline Community College Theater Department is proud to present Seattle based Wayne Rawley’s “Live! From the Last Night of My Life.”

Doug Sample is a man who has decided his experiment with life has, for all intents and purposes, failed. He has achieved nothing, accomplished nothing, and has nothing except his graveyard shift at a local gas station and Mini-Mart. He has decided that the best thing for everyone would be if he shot himself in the head, and he is planning to do it right in front of the Mini-Mart’s security cameras at the end of this, his last shift. But before the night is over, Doug will be visited by his past, his present, his possible futures, and some particularly annoying customers as he struggles with some of life’s most challenging questions like “Why should I go on?”, “What does it all mean?”, and perhaps most importantly, “Did I remember to change the cherry syrup in the Slushie Machine?”

Written by Wayne Rawley and directed by Debra Pralle.

March 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12 – 7:30 PM

Molly Magai Artist Statement

I make paintings of landscapes dominated by cities, roads, industry, and the living things that inhabit them. These structures, created for human convenience, are very much in conflict with nature. They are also an awe-inspiring human accomplishment, the work of generations of builders and engineers. Most of us ignore these landscapes as we pass by them. My job as a genre painter is to make you see them, in their destructiveness and their beauty.

I make paintings based on snapshots I take from a moving vehicle. Handicapped by the car’s speed, the camera creates inadvertent effects – unexpected colors, halos, and blurs. I’m interested in the sensation of speed, and the way the image is filtered first through the camera, the painter, and the painting.
