SUMMARY:Samizdat Sundays and Other Subversions
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Samizdat Sundays—hands‑on textile workshops inspired by the spirit of creative resistance and DIY culture found in samizdat traditions. Each week offers a different project\, connecting archival stories of subversion with contemporary making. \nWe encourage participants to bring an item each week—a T‑shirt\, a pair of jeans\, or any textile you’re ready to transform\, repair\, or experiment with. \nEach session is free\, open to all skill levels\, and guided by artists who delight in subversion and play. Come for one or come for all—together we’ll stitch\, alter\, repair\, and imagine new forms of expression. \nSchedule:\nSun\, Sep 14 | Hidden Pocket \nBring a piece of clothing to transform with a secret pocket. \nSun\, Sep 21 | Boro Workshop & “Finish It” Clinic \nMake a boro-style cleaning rag\, potholder\, or coaster—or bring back a past project to finish. \nSun\, Sep 28 | Cloth Book Cover \nBring a favorite book and create a custom cloth cover. \nSun\, Oct 5 | Protest Hut \nInspired by shelters made by Crimean Tatars. \nSun\, Oct 12 | Disaster Shirt & Visible Repair \nAdd embroidered text to a shirt or jacket\, plus another chance to finish earlier projects. \nSun\, Oct 19 | Paper Book Cover \nStart a three-week series on folded paper objects.

SUMMARY:Family Day: Postcards Connecting Communities
DESCRIPTION:In the Cold War\, shortwave radio operators used QSL cards as a form of identity. These postcards often featured art from the operator’s homeland. This Family Day\, we’re taking inspiration from QSL cards! You and your family can decorate your own postcard to represent your community. What special places or landmarks would you include? What other things visually represent your city or neighborhood? \nAdditionally\, W6TRW Amateur Radio Club (Redondo Beach) and W6UE Caltech Amateur Radio Club (CITARC) will be demonstrating radio equipment and explaining how amateur radio supports communication\, science\, and emergency response.
