    Special Screenings

    Camera Obscura

    The VORTEX is on night two of its series “Camera Obscura,” three evenings of film screenings this summer by Central Texas creators, platforming local artists and sharing their work with their neighbors. Media ranges from shorts to features to web series, and each screening features a Q&A session with the filmmaker, all united by a theme: This month’s is Mind & Body. Even better, it’s free and adjacent to Butterfly Bar, so you can pop over to get a drink or hit up Patrizi’s for some delicious pasta. If you’d like to participate as an artist, submissions for the next session open Aug. 19. “We actively encourage submissions from global majority/BIPOC artists as well as from non-binary and transgender creators,” VORTEX writes on their website. “Your unique voices enrich our collective narrative, and we are dedicated to providing a platform for your stories to shine.” – Lina Fisher

    House District 49 Summer Office Hours

    Fun times with Gina Hinojosa! Join the House District 49 representative at Austin’s Central Library for her Summer “Office Hours” program and learn how Gina is working to forestall the impending destruction of our public school system, democracy, and, more generally, life, liberty, and expanded consciousness. There will be discussion of the upcoming 89th legislative session – interesting! – and slots to speak with Gina’s staff about constituent issues and how to get involved. – Brant Bingamon
