| Sustainable Fashion: Mend, Thrift, Style and Sometimes Buy | Thursday, March 14 | 7 PM
In Person: $15 | Livestream: Free | | |
| | Fashion is self-expression. It’s art. It’s also responsible for roughly 10 percent of planet-warming emissions. But it doesn’t have to be.
Join KQED climate reporter Laura Klivans and Remake to learn how fashion can be sustainable. We’ll talk about mending basics and how to thrift like a champ, and we’ll bring out professional stylists to teach us how to work with our favorite pieces so they shine anew.
The event will feature an on-the-spot styling session for 1 lucky attendee and a clothing swap at the end! | | |

| Rebel Girls Bingo | Thursday, March 21 | 7 PM
In Person: $10 | | |
| | | KQED culture writer Rae Alexandra chronicles the forgotten stories of women who defied the restrictions of their time in her series Rebel Girls From Bay Area History. A pregnant teen who captained a clipper ship in 1856, an Indigenous newspaper editor who used the press to champion her community, a politician that swung a sledgehammer in Sacramento — these women shaped the Bay Area as we know it. We’ll hear their stories in this bingo night, co-hosted by KQED Arts & Culture’s Senior Associate Editor, Sarah Hotchkiss. Join us for an evening of drinks, historical delights and a different spin on the bingo you know. | | |
