Le groupe "Escapades artistiques" organise une exposition dont l'artiste s'inscrit dans l'histoire de l'art comme une figure majeure du 20e siècle : **Nan Goldin** "Nan Goldin (née en 1953, Washington D.C.) est reconnue comme une artiste majeure ayant révolutionné la photographie contemporaine et la culture visuelle de notre époque. De 1979 à nos jours, elle a réalisé de nombreux diaporamas à partir des milliers de photographies qu’elle a prises de son quotidien avec ses proches, de leur intimité et d’évènements familiaux. Elle élabore les récits à partir de sa propre expérience et aborde autant de thèmes que l’enfance, le genre, la violence ou la dépendance aux drogues. Crues et intimes, les histoires qu’elle donne à voir prennent la dimension de contes universels sur l’amour et la perte... Après Stockholm, Amsterdam, Berlin et Milan, l’exposition investit aujourd’hui le Grand Palais et la chapelle Saint-Louis de la Salpêtrière, à Paris, pour offrir une immersion unique dans l’univers intime, bouleversant et profondément humain de Nan Goldin..." Le Grand Palais Pour acheter votre billet (créneau 20h) : https://www.grandpalais.fr/fr/billetterie/creneaux/p82/1 Puis, pour ceux qui le souhaitent nous irons dans une brasserie dans les alentours, pour boire, manger, discuter, échanger autour de l'exposition ou d'autres sujets que nous aimerions évoquer... Enfin, assurez-vous, je vous prie de vos intentions de participation (il y a encore beaucoup trop de désistements et de défections sans forcément un mot ou une explication. Merci à tous votre vigilance et merci à tous ceux qui nous préviennent en cas d'empêchement). Bien à vous tous, belles escapades artistiques et à bientôt ! Jélila PS : j'enverrai tous les détails la veille pour se retrouver et se rassembler, mais vraisemblablement à l'intérieur, à côté de l'accueil (munis de votre billet).

The week feels endless and you can’t see the finish line? Friday blues hitting you hard? Come take a break with us and shake off the gloom of everyday life! **On the program:** chatting over a drink – or two – to get to know each other, social games… And if you want to practice your English (or any other language), don’t hesitate! Many internationals will be there, since we also meet to encourage cultural and language exchanges. An icebreaker game is suggested to meet more people – just ask the organizer. We’ll be a big group, often more than fifty people, so the idea is to talk to everyone – that’s the Friday concept, with the app :) Tall, short, slim, curvy, old, young, beautiful, not-so-beautiful – come as you are, we’ll welcome you with open arms. Two key words: friendliness and curiosity. Come at the time that suits you, but the earlier you arrive, the more you enjoy the vibe! **Practical info:** From 9pm until late into the night Free with the Socializus pass!

Pour notre prochaine rencontre, nous lirons notre premier roman traduit de l’anglais afin de découvrir un auteur aborigène et la littérature australienne : *La Petite Fille blanche* de Tony Birch. (Pour ceux qui ont assisté à la dernière rencontre et seront étonnés par ce choix, je vous informe que malheureusement nous avons dû abandonner le livre estonien convenu car apparemment il n’est plus disponible en vente et il serait trop difficile d’en trouver un exemplaire. Je suis désolée de ce changement qui n’a pas pu être validé par tous les participants.) Odette Brown a passé toute sa vie en périphérie de Deane, une petite ville rurale australienne. Sa fille Lila a disparu sans jamais revenir, lui abandonnant la petite Sissy, âgée d’un an. Pendant treize ans, Odette a réussi à élever sa petite-fille discrètement, évitant l’attention des services sociaux qui enlèvent les enfants aborigènes à la peau claire à leur famille. Mais l’arrivée en ville d’un nouveau policier zélé, bien décidé à faire respecter la loi à la lettre, perturbe la vie des Brown. Odette devra faire preuve de courage et de ruse pour protéger Sissy des autorités tout en tentant de retrouver sa fille. Dans cette fuite à travers l’Australie des années 60, le plus grand conteur indigène australien d’aujourd’hui nous offre un roman immersif et d’une profonde humanité, qui explore les limites que nous sommes prêts à franchir pour protéger ceux que nous aimons. Tony Birch est universitaire, militant aborigène et l’un des auteurs les plus populaires d’Australie. Son roman *La Petite Fille blanche* a reçu le « Prix des écrivains indigènes » au prestigieux New South Wales Premier’s Literary Awards. C’est son deuxième livre à paraître en français après *Du même sang* (Mercure de France, 2016). Merci d'avoir lu le livre avant la rencontre afin de partager vos impressions, sentiments et pensées. À la fin de la séance, nous choisirons collectivement la prochaine lecture et pour, ceux qui veulent, nous poursuivrons la discussion autour d’un petit dîner dans un restaurant.

Bonjour, et Konnichiwa ! 🇯🇵 Je m’appelle Rica, je suis une Japonaise qui vient de Yokohama et organisatrice de ce groupe. Je vous propose de nous retrouver autour d'un café (ou d'un thé) et de parler japonais ensemble. ☕️
Ouvert à toute personne qui apprend le japonais maintenant ou qui a déjà appris le japonais. Discutons de manière détendue en petit groupe (de 4 participantes maximum) en japonais. Pas de soucis, si vous ne pouvez pas être là dès le début ou jusqu’à la fin. Nous aurons 1 heur de conversation en japonais, et vous pouvez rester 30 minutes supplémentaires si vous souhaitez échanger ou jouer le petite joue japonais sans restriction de langue après cela. 😊 Ce sera une belle occasion de vous exercer à l’oral en japonais, ainsi que de rencontrer d'autres apprenants de japonais qui pourront se motiver, échanger des bonnes idées et information pour apprendre le japonais ou le culture japonais. (Merci de noter que cet événement s’adresse à ceux qui ont déjà une base en japonais. Il n’y aura pas d’explications en français pendant la conversation. Si vous débutez tout juste le japonais, n’hésitez pas à m’écrire — je prévois un autre rendez-vous spécialement pour les vrais débutants !) N'hésitez pas à me contacter si vous avez des questions. J’ai hâte de vous voir ! ✨ 👉Vos consommations sont à vos frais. N’oubliez pas la monnaie ! 👉 Merci d’éviter d’annuler votre participation moins de 24 heures avant l’événement. Merci beaucoup, et à bientôt ! Rica

Chers tous ! Cette session du Club Littéraire Parisien (dîner littéraire) se veut un espace de discussion et de débat sur la lecture, notre manière de lire et d’en parler, l’idée qu’on se fait d’un club de lecture. **Deux livres programmés : Thème : La lecture et le club de lecture** **01 – « Sur la lecture « de Marcel Proust (80 pages environ)** « Sur la lecture n'est ni un texte méconnu ni un introuvable. C'est la préface que Proust écrivit en 1905 pour sa traduction de Sésame et les Lys de John Ruskin. Mais ces pages dépassent de si loin l'ouvrage qu'elles introduisent, elles proposent un si bel éloge de la lecture et préparent avec tant de bonheur à la Recherche que nous avons voulu, les délivrant de leur condition de préface, les publier dans leur plénitude. « Hubert Nyssen (Actes Sud) **02 – Une histoire de la lecture » d’Alberto Manguel** « Célébration heureuse de la plus civilisée des passions humaines, cette histoire écrite du côté du plaisir et de la gourmandise est un livre savant qui se lit comme un roman d'aventures. Parti à la recherche des raisons qui ont fait aimer le livre, Alberto Manguel propose un étonnant récit de voyage à travers le temps et l'espace, dont chaque étape lui est occasion de détours, de visites, de réflexions profondes et d'anecdotes réjouissantes. .. » Babelio ***Comme toujours on peut lire l’un ou les deux livres programmés.*** Aussi, vous pouvez réfléchir en amont sur la notion de « club de lecture », vos attentes et vos idées d’y contribuer et d’y participer. Tout sera discuté, débattu, inclus si je le peux, et argumenté de toutes façons. **Et n'oubliez pas !** Partagez, si vous le souhaitez, quelques mots, passages et/ou citations qui vous ont marqués, touchés et qui vous semblent importants à partager avec le groupe et les participants. Enfin, inscrivez-vous, je vous prie, uniquement si vous êtes sûrs de la partie. Bien à vous tous, bonne semaine, bonnes lectures aussi et à bientôt ! Jélila PS : la participation au club de lecture est de 2 euros par personne et par an (les cotisations Meetup sont de 240 euros par an). Mais elle reste facultative.

Join us as we get together for an Arthouse Movie Friday event to see the A24 dark comedy /romance / psychological-thriller, THE DRAMA! The film stars Zendaya and Robert Pattinson as a happily engaged couple whose relationship is challenged when one discovers unsettling truths about the other. Here are details, a trailer and our plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: The film follows a happily engaged couple whose relationship is put to the test when an unexpected turn sends their wedding week off the rails. The film comes from A24, is written/directed by Kristoffer Borgli stars Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Mamoudou Athie, Alana Haim, Hailey Gates and Zoë Winters. QUICK WORD OF WARNING: The film hasn’t screened for critics yet and most of the details are being kept tightly under wraps. But, early buzz (possibly promotional) says the film is a brilliant psychological thriller/romance but also provocative, twisty and some contains occasional uncomfortable viewing! I love the cast and trailer, so look forward to seeing for ourselves! ZENDAYA-PATTINSON TRIFECTA CHALLENGE: Robert Pattinson and Zendaya will star in THREE movies together this year, including THE DRAMA, Christopher Nolan’s THE ODYSSEY this Summer and Denis Villeneuve’s DUNE: PART THREE at Christmas! TRAILER: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zmKcUa4Xxk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zmKcUa4Xxk) PLAN: We’ll plan for 7pm-ish showing and will meet in the lobby area about 30 minutes before showtime! Advance ticket purchase not required for this theater but early arrival is advised. Possibly post-movie get-together at the nearby Rusty Bucket! Complete details will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer. Take care and look forward to seeing you there, Dan

Join us as we get together to see Ryan Gosling and Sandra Huller in the highly anticipated sci-fi adventure, PROJECT HAIL MARY! The film is based on the best-selling novel of The Martian and follows a man who awakens on a spacecraft before realizing his mission to save Earth. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: A science teacher wakes up on a spaceship, light years from home with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. As his memory returns, he begins to uncover his mission to save the Earth. The film is directed by the filmmaking due Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (21 and 22 Jump Street, Into and Across the Spider-Verse) and is based on the 2021 novel by Andy Weir (The Martian). The film stars Ryan Gosling, Sandra Huller (Anatomy of a Fall, The Zone of Interest), Lionel Boyce, Milana Vayntrub and Ken Leung. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VYsnngkS_U BUZZ AND REVIEWS: The buzz and reviews for PROJECT HAIL MARY are off-the-charts good! The film is earning a 95% Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, where critics call it an “old school blockbuster crowd-pleaser” and “a new sci-fi classic!” It’s “deeply hopeful,” well-acted,” funny,” “dramatic,” and “exceptionally rousing throughout!” Others call it “something truly magical” and one that “we’ll be talking about this one for decades to come!” And I believe Slashfilm says it best: “It will lift up and squeeze your heart, crack you up with laughter, and give you a sense of hope and wonder in a way that few movies have been able to inspire.” MOVIE PLAN: Please purchase your ticket for the 2:30pm SuperScreen DLX showing and meet in the lobby area between 2:05 and 2:15pm!

That they’re “for later.”That you can’t touch them. That real estate and retirement money don’t mix. They’re wrong. This meetup is about how investors use **Self-Directed IRAs and Solo 401(k)s** to put retirement capital to work…**buying real estate, funding deals, and even raising private money** (the right way). ### **Featured Guest Speaker: Amanda Holbrook** We’re excited to welcome **Amanda Holbrook of Specialized Trust Company** to break this down clearly and practically…so you understand what’s allowed, how it works, and what to avoid. ### **What You’ll Learn** Amanda will walk through: **Flip inside a Self-Directed IRA or Solo-401(k)** * How to structure the deal correctly * How expenses must be handled * When UBIT may apply **Wholesale within a retirement account** * How assignments work * What type of income it creates **Use OPM (Other People’s Money) to scale** * How investors raise private money from Self-Directed IRAs * How to structure notes properly * How to fund deals inside **and** outside your own retirement account ### **The Core Idea** There is a lot of capital sitting in retirement accounts. This session shows you how real estate investors unlock it **without guessing, winging it, or accidentally creating a compliance mess.** ### **Who This Event Is For** * Investors flipping or wholesaling who want to understand self-directed rules * Anyone raising private money (or wanting more capital sources) * People with retirement funds who want them working harder than stocks/mutual funds ### **Event Details** **Location:** Ohio Brewing Company – 421 E 2nd Ave, Columbus, OH 43201 **Date & Time:** Thursday, March 26th, 6–8 PM *(Doors open at 5:30)* **Cost:** Free *(Seats are limited — RSVP required)* **Food:** Free food included **FREE meetup.

Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 7:00pm on Wednesday, March 25 at Streetlight Guild. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. **SCHEDULE:** 6:45ish - Quick introductions 7:00 - Timer starts: write for 1 hour 8:00 - The End **OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING** happens before and after the writing hour. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. **BEING LATE IS OKAY:** just show up and get settled! If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. Happy writing & I look forward to seeing you at Streetlight Guild! **WHAT SHOULD I BRING?** Whatever you need to be able to write! You're welcome to bring earplugs/headphones if noise will bother you! **OTHER IMPORTANT DETAILS:** * **RSVP:** Please RSVP by 6:00pm the evening of the meeting. This helps me know how many to expect, and if we'll need additional space! * **COVID:** While masks are not required, please be mindful of the other writers around you and their comfort levels. * **WIFI/OUTLETS:** Outlets are limited, so please ensure your devices are charged when you come! But Streetlight Guild does have free WiFi! Yay! * **PARKING:** There is free public parking at Streetlight Guild.

Join us as we get together for a Discount Tuesday / Choose Your Movie event to see your choice of the top-reviewed indie drama TOW or the action-comedy-horror THEY WILL KILL YOU! A winner either way! Here are details, trailer and plan for this event: TOW: This drama follows a homeless Seattle woman who fights her way out of tow-company hell to reclaim her life and the car that held it all together after receiving a tow bill for $21,634. The film is directed by Stephanie Laing and stars Rose Byrne, Dominic Sessa, Demi Lovato, Ariana DeBose, Octavia Spencer, Simon Rex, Elsie Fisher and Corbin Bernsen. Tow premiered to rave reviews at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival where critics declared, “Tow is a winner” and called the film “a story of perseverance, heart, and real fight, the kind of small human story we see less frequently these days, but need now more than ever!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiUtqgeDVI8 THEY WILL KILL YOU: A woman takes a job as a housekeeper in a NYC high-rise, unaware of the building's history of disappearances. She soon realizes the community is shrouded in mystery. The film is directed by Kirill Sokolov and Zadie Beetz, Myha'la, Paterson Joseph, Tom Felton, Heather Graham, and Patricia Arquette. The film is being released immediately following its premiere at this year’s SXSW Festival earlier this month. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYqQPiXpi4w PLAN: We’ll plan for a 7pm-ish showing of both films and will meet in the upstairs lobby area about 30 minutes before showtime! Once showtimes are announced, advance ticket purchase via the GFC website is advised! Once you have yours, please list your movie of choice and seat number in the Comments section of this event. Complete details will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer. PARKING: Close, convenient parking is available in the nearby garage (located between 9th and 11th, just off High St). Bring your ticket with you and have it validated at the theater and for $2, you’re covered for the night! Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
