SUMMARY:Let The Record Show (in person only)
DESCRIPTION:Join author Sarah Schulman to celebrate the launch of the paperback edition of LET THE RECORD SHOW: A POLITICAL HISTORY OF ACT UP NEW YORK\, 1987-1993. \nIn just six years\, ACT UP\, New York\, a broad and unlikely coalition of activists from all races\, genders\, sexualities\, and backgrounds\, changed the world. Armed with rancor\, desperation\, intelligence\, and creativity\, it took on the AIDS crisis with an indefatigable\, ingenious\, and multifaceted attack on the corporations\, institutions\, governments\, and individuals who stood in the way of AIDS treatment for all. They stormed the FDA and NIH in Washington\, DC\, and started needle exchange programs in New York; they took over Grand Central Terminal and fought to change the legal definition of AIDS to include women; they transformed the American insurance industry\, weaponized art and advertising to push their agenda\, and battled—and beat—The New York Times\, the Catholic Church\, and the pharmaceutical industry. Their activism\, in its complex and intersectional power\, transformed the lives of people with AIDS and the bigoted society that had abandoned them. \nBased on more than two hundred interviews with ACT UP members and rich with lessons for today’s activists\, LET THE RECORD SHOW is a revelatory exploration—and long-overdue reassessment—of the coalition’s inner workings\, conflicts\, achievements\, and ultimate fracture. Schulman\, one of the most revered queer writers and thinkers of her generation\, explores the how and the why\, examining\, with her characteristic rigor and bite\, how a group of desperate outcasts changed America forever\, and in the process created a livable future for generations of people across the world. \nNo registration required. \nSeating is first come\, first served. \nSuggested donation of $10 to benefit the Bureau. \nAll are welcome to join\, with or without a donation. \nWe will pass a bag for donations at the start of the event\, but we can also take credit card donations at the register. \n\nSafety protocol \nIn an effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19: \nIf you have any symptoms associated with COVID-19 in the days leading up to the event\, we ask you to please stay home. \nAll attendees are required to wear masks. \n\nTo reserve a copy of the paperback edition of Let The Record Show (released from Picador on May 17\, $22)\, please write to us at contact@bgsqd.com. Copies will be available for purchase at the event.  \nOr pre-order a copy from our online store to have the book shipped to you after May 17th. \n\nSarah Schulman is the author of more than twenty works of fiction (including The Cosmopolitans\, Rat Bohemia\, and Maggie Terry)\, nonfiction (including Stagestruck\, Conflict is Not Abuse\, and The Gentrification of the Mind)\, and theater (Carson McCullers\, Manic Flight Reaction\, and more)\, and the producer and screenwriter of several feature films (The Owls\, Mommy Is Coming\, and United in Anger\, among others). Her writing has appeared in The New Yorker\, The New York Times\, Slate\, and many other outlets. She is a Distinguished Professor of Humanities at College of Staten Island\, a Fellow at the New York Institute of Humanities\, the recipient of multiple fellowships from the MacDowell Colony\, Yaddo\, and the New York Foundation for the Arts\, and was presented in 2018 with Publishing Triangle’s Bill Whitehead Award. She is also the cofounder of the MIX New York LGBT Experimental Film and Video Festival\, and the co-director of the groundbreaking ACT UP Oral History Project. A lifelong New Yorker\, she is a longtime activist for queer rights and female empowerment\, and serves on the advisory board of Jewish Voice for Peace.
