Antioch University Los Angeles Professional Practices Group “A Night to Remember”
One night only student art show to be held at the Mandrake in Los Angeles

CULVER CITY, CA – January 21, 2009 – The students of the AULA Professional Practices class proudly announce “A Night to Remember: Antioch University Professional Practices Group Show” to be held on Friday, February 13th at 7:00pm.  Shrouded in mystery, Friday the 13th is a night in which obsessions, fantasies, fears, and danger come together to create infinite possibility within the imagination.  It is a night that is unfettered by the restraints of Logic.  The pall of this urban legend surrounds the one night only art show entitled A Night to Remember.

Antioch University Los Angeles Announces Free Sinister Wisdom Reading, Sponsored by the LGBT Specialization
The event features Latina lesbian authors featured in the Sinister Wisdom magazine’s Latina lesbian edition (74).

CULVER CITY, CA – January 21, 2009 – The LGBT Specialization in Clinical Psychology at Antioch University Los Angeles invites the public to a free reading of Sinister Wisdom Issue #74, Latina Lesbian edition. The event will be held at A Different Light Bookstore in Hollywood on Saturday, January 17, 2008, at 7:30pm.

The issue features the passion and vision of 76 Latina lesbian writers and artists born in 12 Latin American countries and the U.S.  The contributors, of varying ages and backgrounds, weave poetry, essays, short stories, letters, and artwork to portray the myriad challenges they have confronted throughout their lives.  The collection provides readers with a striking array of perspectives written in Spanish, English, and Spanglish, that delve into topics like gender and sexual identity, heterosexism, race, nationality, class, and the challenges of coming out in Latin American and U.S. communities. This unique issue describes the various types of support networks Latina lesbians build to empower themselves, their loved ones, and their communities. Equally important, they speak about the triumph of spirit that defies adversities and strengthens their struggles for human rights. SW 74 is the most geographically diverse Latina lesbian collection to be published in the U.S since Ramos’s 1987 anthology, Compañeras: Latina Lesbians.
