Welcome to the COYOTE Calendar. Here are this week's handpicked events, just for you.

In the immortal words of Rob Thomas: man, it's a hot one. Stay hydrated and cool, friends. Here are some tips if you don't have AC. Or, get this dream job working and living in the Point Reyes Residential Lighthouse and you won't need AC.

This weekend there are some last-gasp-of-summer festivals and parties, including Petaluma River Craft Beer Fest (exactly what it sounds like), Tiny Fest ("dance with fairies and oracles"), and Best Buck in the Bay Rodeo & Festival (gay rodeo). There are still a handful of tickets to the Chautauqua Revue up in Occidental, and Thursday kicks off Bay Area Theatre Week, which spans 35 different theaters from Sonoma to Saratoga. If you're more interested in the sets than you are in the actors, Thursday also marks the beginning of the 23rd Annual Architecture + City Festival which runs through the end of the month. Later in the week, the Berkeley Old-Time Music Convention kicks off, as does Unity Fest.

School is back in session and I may have gone a tiny bit overboard with academic talks this week, but I just couldn't decide what to cut! Some weeks are for brain growing, some weeks are for booty throwing. I don't make the rules! I just report what I find.

This week we've also got pruning, taxidermy, corn, cardboard, making U2 mad, and more. We'll post new events each Wednesday. Go forth and enjoy!

  • Navigating the Seasons: Unraveling the Genomic Basis of Hibernation in Brown Bears 〰️ When brown bears go to sleep for the winter, they don't just take a long nap. Their bodies change, and in fact, as these researchers have documented, their gene expression changes. This is amazing, and if we can understand how these bears go from one mode of gene expression to another it would mean learning cool shit about bears and also could have big impacts on things like human disease treatments (how do we get certain unpleasant genes to shut up, for example). 〰️ 12:30-1:30pm 〰️ UC Berkeley 〰️ FREE 〰️ more info
  • The Black Body and its Many Histories: Corroborating Black Health and the Death of Medgar Evers 〰️ Civil rights activist Medgar Evers was murdered by a white supremacist in 1963, so why was his body exhumed over thirty years later for another autopsy? In this talk, Dr. Alex Hack explores the fields of medicine, forensics, healthcare and more to ask questions about who is believed, who is an authority, and what evidence counts. Lunch will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis. 〰️ 12-1:30pm 〰️ UC Berkeley 〰️ FREE 〰️ more info
  • Edible Insects and the Future of Food: Capitalist Dreams, Loss, and Everyday Immigrant Practices 〰️ Remember when eating bugs was heralded as as the "food of the future?" (Our very own Soleil Ho definitely does). What ever happened to that? In this talk Berkeley's Paolina Lu "traces how insects became a hopeful response to anxieties about ecological crisis, food security, and changing ways of life" and brings "one Southeast Asian American family’s enduring practice of foraging for grasshoppers into conversation with the emergence and transformation of the insect agriculture industry." 〰️ 3:30-4:30pm 〰️ UC Berkeley 〰️ FREE 〰️ more info
  • Co-Motion: Re-Thinking Power, Subjects and Feminist and Queer Alliances book talk 〰️ If you're horny for queer political theory, boy is this for you! Paola Bacchetta, Professor and the Chair of the Department of Gender and Women’s Studies, digs into her new book and talks about the ways in which "feminist and queer coalitions take shape across differences and how collective movements can transform prevailing ideas about power, identity, and political agency." If academic jargon like "theory-assemblages" gets you going you're going to love this one. 〰️ 5-6:30pm 〰️ UC Berkeley 〰️ FREE 〰️ more info
  • Visiting Artist Lecture: Kainoa Gruspe 〰️ Or maybe you like your educational talks more of the visual art variety? Don't worry, Berkeley has that too! Kainoa Gruspe (whose bio includes the fact that he has "successfully gone two years without ordering anything from Amazon and everything is still okay") makes really gorgeous and interesting mixed media pieces that combine materials like fossilized squid, teak, cement and embroidery to engage with ideas around "lures: methods of attraction, visual trickery of another thinking being, hypnosis, craftsmanship in order to trap, standing out and blending in." Really juicy stuff, in my opinion. 〰️ 5-6:30pm 〰️ UC Berkeley 〰️ FREE 〰️ more info
  • Punk and Archiving author talk 〰️ I devoured We're Having Much More Fun by Tom McEnaney and Judith Peraino, a book about how punks have not only built their own collectives and communities, but how they've also archived those worlds (seriously, check it out, it's so cool). At this event McEnaney and Peraino are joined by Anna Brown, author of Hail Murray! a beautiful book of Bay Area punk photos by Murray Bowles. Together, they'll talk about "archiving and uncovering punk history in the East Bay and beyond." 〰️ 6-7pm 〰️ Berkeley Public Library, North Branch 〰️ FREE 〰️ more info
  • Changing Gender: Susan Stryker 〰️ This is sold out, which is why I put it on the Buy Tickets Now section of the calendar that is just for paying subscribers! If you want the intel on events like this, throw us a couple of bucks. The Bay Area Lesbian Archives is co-presenting this one, in which local trans scholar Susan Stryker talks about her latest book with award-winning filmmaker Cheryl Dunye. 〰️ 7-8:30pm 〰️ Oakstop California Ballroom, Oakland 〰️ $17.85+ 〰️ more info
  • Art Against Brutality 〰️ Even in the most brutal, devastating conditions, humans make art. This new book by Claudia Bernardi — an artist in her own right — looks at art projects that emerged in El Salvador, Guatemala, Colombia, Argentina, México, and the United States amidst repression, violence, and terror. Bernardi argues in the book, and will discuss at this event, the idea that these works are "evidence that community-based artistic expression can arise from collective intention and serve as a vehicle to retain memory and dignity as well as aiding the relentless demand towards obtaining social and human rights for communities affected by political violence." 〰️ 7-9pm 〰️ Clio's Books, Oakland 〰️ $10 〰️ more info
  • Bake Sum Book Talk 〰️ If you missed the last Bake Sum talk never fear! They're running it back, and you can get in on how this book came together, what it means for them both, and a taste of what makes the book and the bakery so tasty. I don't even really like sweets and I'm obsessed with Bake Sum. 〰️ 5:30pm 〰️ On Waverly, SF 〰️ FREE 〰️ more info
  • What Now? Creating Communities for Emerging Bay Area Artists 〰️ At COYOTE we are deeply invested in questions about how to support, sustain, and retain artists in the Bay Area. What does it look like as the cost of living continues to rise, grant funding dries up, and everything gets more expensive? This talk from four folks who facilitate art making across the Bay Area will explore "how to support emerging visual artists with mentorship, community, and new models for training in the shifting Bay Area arts landscape. 〰️ 6-7:30pm 〰️ University of San Francisco 〰️ FREE 〰️ more info
  • Jon Else in conversation with Charles Oppenheimer 〰️ Jon Else's new book Frenchman Flat: The Rise and Fall of Atomic Bombs explores not just how the bomb came to be, but how absurdly lucky we have been that nuclear war hasn't destroyed our entire planet. He's joined by someone who knows a thing or two about the bomb: Charles Oppenheimer, grandson of J. Robert Oppenheimer. Spooky season begins indeed. 〰️ 7pm 〰️ City Lights, SF 〰️ FREE but RSVP required 〰️ more info
  • The Boxes We Put Nature In: Rethinking How We Study the World 〰️ In order to understand the world around us, we make categories. It's one of the main projects of science, really, is sorting stuff into this box or that (plant or animal, land or water, ocean or seafloor). But what about the stuff that defies those boxes and lives in between? In this talk geological oceanographer Ivano Aiello takes the audience through three cases of liminal chaos, to "reveal how the boundaries we create can change what we see, what we understand, and how we respond to our messy, interconnected natural world." 〰️ 7-9pm 〰️ Nirvana Soul Coffee, San Jose 〰️ $27 〰️ more info

  • Chilean Socialism and US Intervention: A people's history of September 11, 1973 〰️ There is more to 9/11 history than the Twin Towers. In 1973 the US supported a coup in Chile that installed Augusto Pinochet and led to a violent reign that still ripples through Chile today. Come learn about this history and how it can inform modern organizing. 〰️ 7pm 〰️ Oakland Liberation Center 〰️ FREE 〰️ more info (and, if you’d like another option for learning about this same history, La Peña is putting on an event about it too)
  • Never Forget How Sexy You Are 〰️ This event doesn't actually seem to have a formal title, but it's a DJ set featuring Ghostmilk and Lobotomy and it's a good way to get your freak on on a freaky day. 〰️ 9pm-1am 〰️ $5-15 sliding scale 〰️ more info
  • Early Japantown in San Francisco: A Walking Tour with Naomi Hirahara 〰️ You all know I can't resist a walking tour!

  • Black-Eyed Pea Festival 〰️ This is the 11th annual festival celebrating “the pea, the whole pea, nothin but the pea!” — but in reality it’s a lot more than the pea.

  • The Makers Hive Market 〰️ You know I love a special market, and this one is themed for Hispanic Heritage Month so it features not only amazing artists but also good tunes, a special Ballet Folklórico performance, and more.

And while we're not fully into full fungal season just yet, you can get in the mood at this art exhibition entirely focused on mushrooms!

I don't know what that means, but I'm curious! 〰️ 5pm 〰️ The Alembic, Berkeley 〰️ FREE 〰️ more info

  • San Francisco Science Fiction Short Film & TV Showcase 〰️ Before Star Wars, Lucas made Electronic Labyrinth: THX 1138 4EB. Before 2001, Kubrick made Fear and Desire. My point is that a lot of iconic sci-fi directors made small short films before they took off, and you could check out some of today's up-and-coming directors and their shorts at this showcase.

  • Indigenous Ideas for Postponing the End of the World: Lessons of Brazil 〰️ "What if we already have some of the tools we need to postpone the end of the world?" That is the question that Oakland-based writer and "recovering international-development strategist," Michelle Taylor Bruno is bringing to this session that is less a talk and more a conversation, featuring Ailton Krenak, an Indigenous philosopher and activist, and Lélia Gonzalez, a pioneering Black feminist thinker. This might be about the apocalypse, but you might leave feeling hopeful. 〰️ 7pm 〰️ Mother Tongue Cafe & Bar, Oakland 〰️ $15-25 〰️ more info

  • The Earth Said Remember Me, a guide to resisting environmental amnesia 〰️ If you've ever spent any time having an internal crisis about climate change and the paradox between the apocalyptic nature of the thing and the seeming indifference humanity has towards that apocalypse, this is for you.

  • We Survived the Night with author Julian Brave NoiseCat 〰️ I loved We Survived the Night so much and think that Julian (also the director of the Oscar-nominated documentary Sugarcane) is lowkey a genius, so definitely check this one out.

  • Learn Bookbinding 〰️ If you love using a pointy tool to stab stuff, bookbinding is such a great hobby. I mean, also if you love books.

Eight legs, one heart. 〰️ 4-8pm 〰️ Prescott Market, Oakland 〰️ FREE 〰️ more info
  • Queer Trans Hysto Zine launch party 〰️ This event is technically full, but I'm putting it on here because often you can get in off the waitlist at Local Economy, and I'm hoping I'm one of those people who does! Hear contributors to a zine anthology of personal essays, poetry, and art about hysterectomy from trans and queer people all over the US and abroad "as they reflect on the medical system and barriers to good care, the joy and heartbreak of community aid, surgical autonomy, sex and desire, and ambiguous loss." 〰️ 6-8pm 〰️ Local Economy, Oakland 〰️ FREE 〰️ more info

  • NEGATIVLAND LIVE AT INTERNET ARCHIVE 〰️ In 1991, the sound collage collective Negativland put out an EP called U2, the title track of which was a bizarro kazoo filled parody that mashed up 'I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For' with legendary DJ Casey Kasem going off the rails (you can listen here). It will shock you to learn that U2 (the band who forced every Apple user to download their album) was not pleased and sued the tiny punk collective for $100,000, citing copyright infringement. Now, 35 years later, you can see Negativland perform a new "theater of the mind" experience. U2 could not be reached for comment. 〰️ 6-10pm 〰️ Internet Archive, SF 〰️ $21.98 〰️ more info
  • Free Film Screening: Kin Dza Dza 〰️ Calling all fans of R.U.R. and The Doomed City.

It's weird, it's funny, it's surprisingly on point. 〰️ 7-9pm 〰️ The Church of Mother Gong, SF 〰️ FREE 〰️ more info
  • The Secret Lives of Great White Sharks 〰️ I am absolutely more afraid of a Real Housewife of Beverly Hills than I am of a great white shark, but I'm fairly certain both can smell blood in the water.

Hear from a team of researchers about their project tracking sharks as they migrate, eat, mate, betray one another, and make dubious real estate deals. 〰️ 7-9pm 〰️ Guildhouse, San Jose 〰️ $27 〰️ more info
