Join WGSS and Cristy Road Carrera for a reading from "Sink or Burn" (2026, Simon & Schuster). Thursday, May 14, 4:30-6:00pm Baker Library, Room 206 Eternal rabble rouser, Cristy Road Carrera is a first generation Cuban-American artist, writer and musician. Blending anti-facist principles with survival love stories – Road has spend over twenty-five years testifying to the beauty of the imperfect. Her carreer began in 1996 with a self-published punk rock fanzine that sparked decades of illustrating for music, literature and social movements. Forging an imprint in queer, feministy counter cultures with graphic memoirs, illustrated novels, and punk rock records; Carrera redefined her career in 2019, after writing, illustrating, and releaseing the Next World Tarot, a 78-card deck that envisions a world based on radical redefinitions of self-love and social justice. Carrera is a singer and songwriter and has been fronting punk rock bands since her days of self-publishing fanzines. She currently performs her songs as Choked Up, making records and playing shows with the ancient pink rock ethos of passion before profit. Engaging with her world in spaces ranging from Yale University to Bluestockings Bookstore – Cristy Road Carrera continues to thrive on the fringe of the mainstream, and the epicenter of revolution. @croadcore @thepromiseofbeauty @dartmouthartsci

NO ICE IN THE CUP • NYC {ink, marker, 2026} Collaboration with @usartsdept + @noiceinthecup2026 !!! • No ICE in the Cup is a national call to action demanding the World Cup remain joyful, safe and secure. This means that the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has no place near the World Cup festivities. We want ICE out of stadiums, out of watch parties, out of local businesses, and off the streets where people will gather to celebrate the game they love. ✖️The World Cup is coming to the United States. It should be a moment of joy and community around the beautiful game of soccer. But for many communities, especially immigrants, the presence of ICE threatens to turn that celebration into a moment of cruelty and fear.✖️Soccer belongs to the world. Our communities and international visitors deserve to experience it without the threat of government violence or intimidation.✖️We are artists, organizers, lawyers, athletes, and community members from small businesses, diverse faiths, veterans groups and labor unions from across the country who have come together to make this demand clear: No ICE in the Cup. ✖️Through public art, community soccer matches, cultural events, and training programs for volunteer N.I.C.E. Brigades, we are building networks of care, protection and joyful resistance. Our goal is simple, to ensure that everyone, and especially immigrant communities, can participate in this global celebration safely and freely. Together, we are building strong connections across sectors and ideologies to continue organizing for our shared values during the World Cup and beyond. {Text from USDAC Campaign at https://www.noiceinthecup.us/ }
