The IAI presents: The Consolations of Pornography with Peter Tatchell

Is porn wrong? Or can pornography be a force for good in the world? While pornography can be dehumanising and exploitative, it can also be educative, liberating, empowering, fulfilling and immensely socially beneficial. It all depends on how it is made, who makes it, what it depicts, and why it is being used. Activist and author Peter Tatchell speaks out against critics.

Peter Tatchell is an Australian-born British human rights campaigner, best-known for his work with LGBT social movements. Peter founded the action group OutRage!. He attempted a citizen's arrest of Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe in 1999 and again in 2001.

Peter Tatchell has done more to keep gay rights on the agenda over the last decade than anyone - Time Out

Art Preview: Karen Edwards ‘ Summer Sculpture Show 2016’

We are delighted to host our second ever 'Summer Sculpture Show' out on the Square Terrace to showcase new works by Karen Edwards. To celebrate this (hopefully) sunny occasion we are inviting you to a free Preview to see Karen's ceramic works over a few drinks and canapés. Our secluded terrace is Bristol's best kept secret and is the perfect location to discover these outdoor works, that are all for sale. Drop in anytime on Wednesday 6 July, 6 - 8pm to have a look and soak up the al fresco atmosphere. Karen has been a full-time potter since 2005 and her work combines interests in plants, landscape and clay. The artist aims to make pieces that harmonise with outdoor surroundings - providing a visual focus throughout the year. Sizes range from tiny pebbles (8cm long) to sculptural forms (60cm high or larger). Karen works by handbuilding using: coiling, slab work, pinching and press-moulding techniques (or a combination) to produce individual designs. Surfaces are polished, impressed, carved, scraped or inlaid to give interesting texture combinations. Colour is applied after the first firing, usually as a metal oxide wash with porcelain slip highlights, but coloured slips, underglazes or glazes are used on some pieces. The high temperature of the second firing vitrifies the clay, so that sculptures or planters can be left outside all year. Artist Website: http://karenedwardsceramics.co.uk/

Jim, whose inspirations include Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg and Jim Dine, also mines a rich seam of pop culture and street influences. " The shape feel and character of birds present thousands of possibilities for making paintings," he says."Herons, for example, are elegant when perched or resting and sometimes ungainly and comical on the move, while birds of prey - 'top guns' of the avian world - are evolved to perfection, sleek in flight and regal when at roost.'' - STATE OF THE ART, The Bristol Magazine, Issue 145, July 2016 Artist Bio Foundation Degree at Chelsea London Institute followed by Kingston University (London). For over 15 years Jim's screenprints and paintings have been exhibited in over 90 shows including: Auctioneers Dreweatt's Urban Art Sales Paintworks (Bristol) and Selfridges (London), solo-exhibitions at London's Dalston Superstore and The Pall Mall Deposit (London), The Coningsby Gallery (London) and 2 Degrees Gallery (Bristol), the Wilder Street Gallery, King of Paint and Weapon of Choice. In addition to Jim’s gallery and show exhibits, he has painted and drawn on location worldwide and was an Expedition Artist for BSES Expeditions on four occasions. In 2014 he exhibited in London, Paris and New York. Artist website: http://www.screenprintjim.com/about/

David Punter is a poet who has published five small volumes of his work, and appeared in a wide variety of magazines including PN Review,Encounter, Outposts and Thames Poetry.

Emma Stadon has recently published her own pamphlet of poems; she writes with eloquence and unflinching honesty.

Jonathan Bradley has recently published Papiliones – featuring poems about butterflies. He writes 'There is poetry everywhere in the natural world, but for me nowhere more so than in butterflies. What is poetic about butterflies? Poetry is a heightened form of writing that plays on our emotions and imagination. Poems use imagery, beautiful or expressive words, rhythms, rhymes and sounds that encourage us to see the world a little differently, as if through a lens. At their best, poems inspire an intensity of perception that changes the way we think and feel.'

There will be some excellent music - superb original songs from Priscilla Andersohn.

Hosted by Tim Burroughs / Charles Thompson

Funzing: The Evolution of Galaxies

TICKETS:

https://uk.funzing.com/funz/the-evolution-of-galaxies-bristol-14986

Telescopes may be the closest things we have to time machines: the farther in space we look, the earlier in the history of the universe we get to see. By observing galaxies across cosmic time, we can deduce how they formed out of tiny quantum fluctuations very soon after the Big Bang, and how they then evolved over billions of years.

Find out how galaxies have evolved from the birth of the universe through cosmic explosions all the way to the present, and how observing galaxies may be our best chance of getting to grips with dark matter and dark energy. Come and be dazzled by the grandest structures in the Universe, and learn about the incredible feats of human engineering and creativity that are required to find out about our place in the cosmos.

Dr Amelie Saintonge is an associate professor at UCL. She studies the formation and evolution of galaxies, using the worlds largest radio telescopes to find out the makings of distant galaxies. Originally from Canada and having completed her PhD studies at Cornell University (USA), she held research positions in Switzerland and Germany before joining UCL in 2013 as a Royal Society Research Fellow. A keen public speaker, Dr Saintonge has recently addressed audiences at the Royal Society Summer Exhibit, the Hay Festival and New Scientist Live.

Funzing: Four Ways to Save The World

TICKETS:

https://uk.funzing.com/funz/four-ways-to-save-the-world-bristol-15275

We are living beyond our means, consuming three planets worth of resources with just one planet to support us and facing potentially catastrophic climate change. But fear not, Dr Denise Baden has spent her career working out the very best ways we can put the world to rights and is optimistic. This talk covers four very diverse projects, each of which is having massive impact in its own way, and each of which you can be part of. There will be talk, music, stories, theatre and green hair! You will also get insights into some of the ideas that have been simmering in the background that have the potential to transform our world. Denise’s first project explores how the way news is presented affects our responses to issues such as climate change, and human rights. She will share with you what the top editors and journalists from Reuters, BBC, Sky, Channel 4, Al Jazeera and others had to say, and why and how we need to radically overhaul how we present the news. Her second project is an exploration into the different values and culture in Cuba centred on notions of solidarity. Her fascination with Fidel Castro and the Cuban revolution led her to develop an innovative musical project which crowdsourced and crowdfunded a musical called ‘Fidel’ (www.fidelthemusical.org). She shares with you why this musical can help change the world. Her third project aims to save the world by creating a cultural body of work that showcases positive visions of what a sustainable society might look like via series of writing competitions (http://generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk/sustainablesocieties/). The government are desperate for scientists from different disciplines to work together to find ways to create more sustainable societies as solutions need to be systemic. But psychologists, engineers, economists etc. all speak different languages and in fact it is creative writers who are best placed to bring together ideas from all these disciplines to imagine a sustainable future. Denise will give you the insiders view on latest innovative ideas that can transform society – and reassures us this will be no ‘Black Mirror’ view of the future And what has green hair got to do with saving the world? Come along and find out!

Funzing: The Psychology of Luck

TICKETS:

https://uk.funzing.com/funz/the-psychology-of-luck-bristol-15744

All of us have at least one big dream we want to turn into a reality. How do you get that elusive thing called ‘luck’ to be on your side for a change? In studying elite thinkers, doers and dreamers, Dr Stephen Simpson discovered one important thing: luck is not random. He believes that we already have luck, sometimes just need a bit of help to find where it is hiding. But what is that special ‘something’ that can simply make all the difference? We know that some people have got 'it’ – but what exactly is ‘it’ – and more importantly, how do you get it? And why do some people just seem to be so plain ‘lucky’?

Dr Stephen Simpson brings out luck in people. As a mind coach he counts luminaries from sporting, gaming, entertainment and business worlds among his clients, including world number one poker legend Chris Moorman. Paul McKenna was recently said about Stephen's work "One of the fastest rising stars in international personal development”.

A monk in the city, not in a monastery or ashram? Dada Jyotirupananda, a yogic monk from a Tantric tradition, will discuss why he took the most unlikely step to become a monk and how it’s helped him find a deeper meaning to life and inner peace.

Dada will explain how meditation can be a key to dealing with the stresses and distractions all around us, and how we can get back on track to finding fulfilment. There will be a short meditation during the talk and discussion on how to take this further in your life. Dada has been a teacher of meditation for over 30 years in about 30 countries. He is the author of “Meditation: Searching for the Real You”, a widely respected introduction to meditation. He is the editor of New Renaissance magazine (www.ru.org) and a speaker at events such as UN conferences, vegetarian and environmental conferences, universities and many other venues.

Explorers Connect: Wheelchair to Endurance Wild Swimmer

Explorers Connect is a collective of explorers and adventurers, meeting for talks, socials and expeditions. Beth French stretches the horizons of her own possibilities, tackling seemingly impossible feats of endurance and adventure. Beth suffered with ME from the age of 10 and by 17, she was in a wheelchair. Overcoming debilitation, she forged a path to ultimate health her own way. Beth is the first woman to swim the notorious Kaiwi- Channel of Bones in Hawaii twice and the first person ever to swim from Cornwall to the Isles of Scilly. Last year, she was named as one of the World Open Water Swimming Association’s top 50 adventurous female swimmers. In 2017, Beth walked away from a world first, record setting, swim series with the end in sight. Find out the many faces of triumph she met as Beth takes us with her into the depths of the night, far out to sea and back to shore. With all her exploring, she still maintains she is ordinary and adventure is in all of us, everyday. What is success in adventure, and what does it mean when your destination is no longer the goal? Beth spins a rip roaring yarn that will leave you inspired and thought provoked, with a strong sense of why you want to tackle your own challenges in the first place.

Explorers Connect: Extraordinary Rituals

Explorers Connect is a collective of explorers and adventurers, meeting for talks, socials and expeditions. James Bayliss-Smith is a cameraman and filmmaker who has been shooting documentaries since 2005. Last year he travelled to Papua New Guinea for the BBC's Natural History Unit to film a brutal 'crocodile' scarification ritual for the recent BBC2 series 'Extraordinary Rituals'. The coming of age initiation involves the ritualised skin cutting of young men and women so that their skin has multiple scars resembling the skin of a crocodile. They believe that by undergoing this process they will gain the power of the crocodile and it is an important right of passage that not everyone can undertake. In his talk James will tell the story of the shoot, which involved a four-day journey deep into the blackwater lakes region of the famous Sepik River. See exclusive photos and hear adventurous tales of what it's like to witness one of the world's most extraordinary rituals.

Funzing: How to boost your life with CBT

CBT - or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is a 21st century buzz term. It's everywhere. But what is CBT and how does it work? CBT started in the late 1960s as a branch of Behavioural Psychology - based in the idea of 'shaping' behaviour through 'conditioning and reward (think Pavlov's dogs). The ideas have filtered into everyday life and CBT has developed into a practical and progressive therapy. SO does it work for everyone? Corinne Sweet, author of best-selling Change Your Life with CBT, will explain how you can develop a 'toolkit' of skills to help you conquer your hatred of spiders, fear of flying or obsessive thoughts, beat anxiety, depression and even to learn new skills.

The Berkeley Square Poetry Revue

A great show in store on Tuesday 13h November at 8.30 at the Square Club Berkeley Square. Tickets two pounds and hosted by Tim Burroughs/ Charles Thompson. We have poets Anna Saunders, Cian Murphy and Marie Ellis and music from Avellana. Anna Saunders has been described as ‘a poet who surely can do anything’ by The North  and ‘a poet of quite remarkable gifts’ by Bernard O’Donoghue. With poems published in journals and anthologies, which include Ambit, The North, New Walk Magazine, Amaryllis, Iota, Caduceus, Envoi,The Wenlock Anthology, Eye Flash, and  The  Museum  of  Light, Anna has proven herself a talented writer with a drive to share not only her work but other talented poets. In 2017 Cian Murphy's work was on the long list of the Cinnamon Press Pamphlet Competition. It has also been long-listed (2017) and Commended (2018) in the Munster Literature Centre Fool for Poetry Competition. This year it was long-listed for the Anthony Cronin International Poetry Award and was chosen for Eyewear Publishing’s Best New British & Irish Poets 2018. Marie Ellis grew up in the flat, expansive plains of the Midwestern U.S. And this provided a lot of time and space to create. It was in that fertile soil that the seeds of who she is today were planted: poet, performer, writer, journalist. After living in parts of California and Berlin, Marie settled in Brighton in 2010 and just recently moved to Bristol. Her poetic style in three words: political, empirical, lyrical. Avellana work through jazz classics , original modern works and other experiments in jazz wonderment.
