The Earthling Parade
Time: 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM
Zankel Music Center Thomas Amphitheater: Join us Friday, September 12, at 5 pm, for The Earthling Parade led by artist Yvette Molina. Together, we will process in a sacred and raucous celebration of being alive on this earth!Wear colorful, celebratory costumes, capes, flower crowns, or anything that makes you feel alive, and bring wands, banners, or other items to carry. Not sure where to start? Consider dressing like your favorite creature or one of the elements, or just come as your very own self in your everyday clothes to simply be in community with your fellow earthlings!The Earthling Parade marks the close of the two-year evolving exhibition Yvette Molina: A Promise to the Leaves, which is foregrounded by the four elements, the cosmos, and all creatures of earth. It encourages us to consider care as entangled within circles of life—care for one another, whether human or non-human, is care for ourselves and all.The parade departs from Skidmore’s Arts Quad and will process on paved pathways, ending at the Tang Museum at 6 pm. A map of the parade route will be posted on the Tang's website in advance of the event.This event is free and open to the public.

Conversation with Bill McKibben
Time: 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM
Palamountain Hall Gannett Auditorium: Bill McKibben, in conversation with Joe Donohue Gannett Auditorium at 6 pm Tickets are required— get them here The acclaimed author and environmental activist Bill McKibben will discuss his latest book, Here Comes the Sun: A Last Chance for the Climate and a Fresh Chance for Civilization with Joe Donahue of WAMC/Northeast Public Radio. This event is organized by Northshire Bookstore and co-sponsored by the Environmental Studies and Sciences Department and Sustainable Saratoga. Half of all ticket proceeds will be donated to Sustainable Saratoga. Here Comes the Sun is an honest but hopeful assessment of the climate crisis from “probably the nation’s leading environmentalist” (Boston Globe). McKibben makes the case for sun and wind energy as major asset in the fight against climate change, tracing the history of solar power from a grassroots environmental project to a potential disruptor to the fossil fuel economy. By embracing these alternatives, he argues, we can reclaim the mantle of technological progressivism in a way that benefits the many rather than the few.
