Plus. PNCA has inexplicably scheduled a book tour talk on art night by a writer living in Nahalem, Oregon who could visit and speak any time. The speaker would be Micah White. He is enmeshed with Ad Busters and co-created the idea of Occupy Wall Street. He is promoting his book The End of Protest: A New Playbook for Revolution. It proposes ever evolving creative slactivism and performance-oriented political tactics. At PNCA www.pnca.edu 511 NW Broadway Map 7PM Free
And for the plus plus, Portland's own international musician, Soriah, performs tonight. He is recently returned from Tuva, Siberia, Russia from visiting his family.
