Brooklyn's Center for Urban Pedagogy has two interesting events coming up in June:

June 3, N.Y.: "Bodega Down Bronx" screening. In the Bronx, says CUP, bodegas are a way of life. But who chooses what the bodegas sell? And where do all those chips come from? This past semester, students from New Settlement's Bronx Helpers and CUP teaching artist Jonathan Bogarín have been investigating bodegas in the Bronx. The group interviewed bodegueros, visited their suppliers, and met with government officials, health professionals and alternative Bronx food establishments. They've made a documentary to pass along what they've learned. The world premiere is at The Point in the Bronx.

June 6 and 17, N.Y. and Minn. -- "Who Owns the Internet?" What shape is the Internet? On June 17 in New York City, CUP will screen Part I of its youth Urban Investigation on the physical infrastructure of the Internet. CUP teaching Artist Helki Frantzen and students from City-As-School have been working with The People's Production House and Manhattan Neighborhood Network, scouring the suites and streets of New York City to find out who runs the waves, wires, cables and fibers of our Internet infrastructure. On June 6, members of the project team will also be presenting clips from the video at the National Conference for Media Reform in Minneapolis. (Thanks, Caron Atlas.)
