This event is General Admission Standing Room on the Floor, and Reserved Seated in the Balcony. BLOC PARTY Moving from hooky post-punk to ambitious genre-mashing - and back again - Bloc Party's artistic restlessness has served them well since the early 2000s. The mix of Kele Okereke's impassioned yelp and Russell Lissack's angular riffs on their first EPs helped shape British indie rock for the rest of the decade, but by the time Bloc Party released their platinum-selling 2005 debut album Silent Alarm, they'd added atmospheres drawn from post-rock and electronic textures to their style. The East London band continued to push themselves on 2007’s A Weekend in the City and the following year’s Intimacy, incorporating influences from hip-hop to modern composition and writing songs that ranged from socially aware to deeply personal. Bloc Party’s later albums were also adventurous, whether they borrowed some of post-hardcore’s bite on 2011’s Four or mused on spirituality on 2016’s reflective, redemptive Hymns. Despite hiatuses and lineup changes, when they returned to their razor-sharp post-punk on 2022’s Alpha Games, Bloc Party sounded as fresh as ever.

Autumn Peltier is Anishinaabe-kwe and a member of the Wikwemikong First Nation and an internationally recognized advocate for clean water. She is a water protector and has been called a “water warrior”. Peltier addressed world leaders at the UN General Assembly on the issue of water protection at the age of thirteen in 2018. Peltier lives on the Unceded Anishinawbe Territory on Manitoulin Island in northern Ontario. She began her advocacy on behalf of water at the age of eight and was inspired by her great aunt, Josephine Mandamin. Peltier gained national and international notice when at a meeting of the Assembly of First Nations she presented Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau with a copper water pot and although she did not have time to deliver her prepared speech she confronted Trudeau on his record on water protection and his support for pipelines. She has attended international events such as the Children’s Climate Conference in Sweden. In April, 2019 the Anishinabek Nation honoured her and raised her up to be the Chief Water Commissioner in her great aunties role. Autumn has travelled far and wide to carry the message of the importance of clean water and the Sacredness of Water. She seemingly came out of the womb already set on her path: to advocate for people’s right to clean water, the rights of water itself, and the political recognition of the interdependency of the two.

Without presenters we just have a large bearded guy, droning on and on and on. And on. And on. So we definitely need you. At the heart of a PechaKucha Night is community + creativity, and everyone has a little of that. The format of a PechaKucha talk is simple. Your 20 slides automatically advance every 20 seconds while you talk or sing or, even dance. Your call. We supply the supporting crowd hungry for your words and images about your ideas, your work, your poetry, your research, your designs, your Big Idea, or your passion. You can do this. Talk to us, we can help. Hell, we might even buy you a beer. Visit the website here or just sign up here ! If you have recently done one, bug your friends (with real bugs, if need be) you know who has a good story in them better than we do!
