"2" not to B missed events

Bloggers Kifna ?

so 2 emails about events i received early this morning and i'm sharing with you guys not to miss:




  • the first: 98weeks  tonights' event at 6  - as featured on their website:



15.10.12


98TALKS










"Are you talking to me?"
Presentation of the Bik Van der Pol Workshop

Thursday October 18, 2012; 6pm

After a week-long intensive workshop, Bik Van der Pol and participants will present their stories, maps and documentation of their experiences.


Participants traveled by taxis, talked with drivers, recorded their conversations, and returned with stories which will be disseminated by public radio. The space of 98weeks functioned as a hub where workshop participants listened and discussed their recordings while constructing of a large city map of the routes taken and speakers were invited to talk about public space, mapping and the forming of collective memory.

The taxi is regarded as social place, as carrier and interface of public voice, knowledge/history, often across generations. By choosing the taxi, the project also subtly touches upon two major urban management issues in present-day Beirut: lack of public space (spaces of collectivity) and transportation.



  • the second Share Beirut is over but it seems their events are not- email below for their event on Friday night:



Kifkon dear friends,

We've got two nice occasions for this edition of SHARE newsletter:
 
1.      Share.mov II is finally released online, and available to watch here. Give it a shot and help us spread it over the Internets, we've put a lots of time and energy in producing it. Movie is a fast-paced and very dynamic documentary blending loads of ideas, experiences, and wisdom told in 72 hours of this year's edition of SHARE conference in Belgrade, mixed with short-cuts from a wicked night program in clubs around the city. It also consists of a teaser from Beirut edition movie which is in the editing process at the moment, so you even might spot yourself among all the hipsters and geeks filmed during these three wonderful days.
 
2.      Our lovely friends from Lamba Labs are giving all of us an opportunity to keep on sharing and meeting each other. If you're in Beirut on Friday, don't miss this event, here's their invitation message:
Hello awesome people!

Do you miss Share already? Well Share misses you back. There has been some chatter around how to keep the energy alive and the excitement moving after the conference is over. All the people who attended, contributed, and spoke at Share are part of the same community. How do we all grow together, and ensure that there will be an even bigger conference next year?

So now we’re calling all of you – future thinkers, artists, technologists, activists, amazing people who want to make amazing things – to join us at Lamba Labs this Friday at 8pm for a Share and Tell. Bring a personal project, tell us about your favorite moment from Share, bring falafel/pizza, tell us what inspires you.

We’ll gather at the Lamba Labs hackerspace, and let’s carry on the torch of sharing and light up the future.

Light and Love,

The Lambas
