"Loving God Boldly Together (the lgbt church play)," written by UGA student Caro Caden, follows six LGBTQ+ individuals in Marietta and their various attempts to find a chosen family while navigating the difficulties of their often-hostile evangelical environment.

2. a2ru Webinar: Introducing an Art-based and Future Research Ecosystem
Thursday, December 1 at 2 PM
https://a2ru.org/event/introducing-an-art-based-and-future-research-ecosystem/
**As an a2ru member institution, UGA students, faculty, and staff are eligible for free registration.**
A2RU welcomes French artist and futurist Raphaele Bidault-Waddington to present her expanded art and future research ecosystem. Building on the heritage of conceptual art, her initial statement in 2000 was to consider art as a vast laboratory to explore, question and open critical perspectives on the world, and as a way to produce knowledge, eventually disrupting conventions, borders or disciplines. Exhibited and published, her image laboratory addresses topics ranging from aesthetic speculation and value(s) creation to cities, metaverses and future world-building, from the digital transition to the post-truth paradigm.
Her idea laboratory (renamed LIID Future Lab in 2016), also occasionally published or exhibited, experiments collaborations with organizations at the frontier of art with knowledge, economy, critical design, urban design, innovation and future studies. From 2008 to 2017, her R&D lab on the future Greater Paris metropolis, hosted at ACTE Institute (Arts Research), Paris 1 Pantheon Sorbonne University, was laureate of several selective academic research and pedagogic innovation programs. Her latest R&D future lab Toward Alien Cosmologies focuses on post-human and post-colonial futures, the Anthropocene and the related anthropological and epistemological reset.

7. a2ru Ground Works CFP: Creating Knowledge in Common
Deadline: January 31, 2023
https://a2ru.org/ground-works-releases-cfp-for-creating-knowledge-in-common/
Ground Works, a2ru's peer-reviewed platform for arts-integrated research, announces a call for submissions to a special themed issue entitled Creating Knowledge in Common. With this issue, we seek to lift up university-community partnered research and inquiry that center the arts. We invite submissions that deepen our understanding of how the structures, processes, and outcomes of such partnerships result in reciprocal relationships that advance new knowledge. In addition, submissions should make clear how the shared work benefits both the academic and the community partners. Ground Works encourages a wide array of submission types that incorporate multimedia to tell the story of creating knowledge in common.
