Colostomy Bag Buddies is a PG-13 puppet show with performances scheduled for 4 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday at Maker Space, Portland.

Ibarra's performance shattered the historical designation of the nude woman as beautiful in art but vulgar in the flesh, challenging societal norms.

"The responders weren't just FEMA, it was people taking up direct collections for food, for clothing; it was a community response."

The exhibition, entitled Forget Me Not: South Lebanon in Memory and Motion, took place earlier this month, as this largely rural part of the Levant became a front in the US and Israeli war against Iran.

When performers fall out of sync, even the best improv starts to break down. Innovation is a team sport, and skill alone won't yield favourable results.

A group of organizations calling themselves the De-ICE Citizens Bank Coalition is demanding that the bank end its relationship with ICE, specifically by halting its financial ties with CoreCivic and The GEO Group, prison corporations that work on behalf of the federal agency.

"I think that stealing from a big box store-I'll just state my platform-it's neither very significant as a moral wrong, nor is it significant in any way as protest or direct action."

Riot Queens, takes that real act - which sparked San Franciso's 1966 Compton's Cafeteria Riot, the first known full-scale riot asserting transgender and gay rights in the U.S. - and explores the emotional boiling point that led to it.

On Jan. 28, 2026, Bruce Springsteen released "Streets of Minneapolis," a hard-hitting protest against the immigration enforcement surge in the city, including the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. The song is all over social media, and the official video has already been streamed more than 5 million times. It's hard to remember a time when a major artist has released a song in the midst of a specific political crisis.

On a cool winter night in Los Angeles, dozens gathered to protest the Trump administration's attacks on the arts and the recent federal immigration raids in southern California. But these protestors didn't carry signs or chant in front of a government building they recited poems such as Antifa Tea Party and Love in Times of Fascism. They performed anti-fascist improv to a small but lively crowd at The Glendale Room, a library-themed theater, as part of the monthly show Unquiet: A Night of Creative Resistance.

Last summer, I did face painting at a block party in my Brooklyn neighborhood. In the sweltering August humidity, I rendered pink butterflies and Spiderman webs on tiny, sticky faces; unsurprisingly, my designs didn't last very long in the bouncy castle. Except for the glitter. For weeks, I found it in my hair, on my cats, in my sink, and in random corners of the house, migrating to and fro like dandelion fuzz.
