#RoundtableTuesday explores addiction during COVID, different ways to help folks experiencing homelessness with Glenn Bailey of Crossroads Urban Center and grassroots activist Ty Bellamy of Black Lives for Humanity Movement. Plus, a #3QuickPicks reading list from The City Library's Azra Basic, a legislative update from the League of Women Voters of Utah and more.

Tonight's lineup:

Claire Taylor of the Salt Lake City Arts Council, which March 3-6 presents its next Flash Project, “The Dead See Scrolls” by Alex Moya, at Finch Lane Gallery.

  • "Tired of endlessly scrolling online? Take a break from the digital world, and visit an art installation that takes a playful look at the blurred line between the physical and the digital. Alex Moya combines the ideas of old, analog scrolls that hold history, information, and mystical truths, to comment on our contemporary, digital scrolling through digital pages. The installation will include a projection of “scrolling” video collages and manipulations of social media that will be projected onto a paper scroll. In addition, Moya will create mixed media works on paper that feature elements of social media blended with snippets of old scrolls, blurring the lines between these digital and physical technologies."

  • Click here to schedule your gallery visit. Each appointment is for one group, consisting of 1-5 people. An individual can reserve the space for themselves, or bring up to four other people with them. These individuals are considered an “individual household group” as defined in state documents.

#3QuickPicks on The People's Business at the Utah Legislature with Emily Walsh of the League of Women Voters of Utah. The General Session ends Friday at midnight. Be sure to call your lawmakers to share your opinion on last minute bills and spending.

  • Book/Ebook/Audio Ebook: Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones, by James Clear. “An expert on habit formation, Clear reveals practical strategies that will teach you how to form good habits, break bad ones, and master the tiny behaviors that lead to remarkable results. He draws on proven ideas from biology, psychology, and neuroscience to create an easy-to-understand guide for making good habits inevitable and bad habits impossible.”

The film talks to leading doctors, law enforcement, and other experts while following stories from more than a dozen locations including poignant narratives from recovering addicts and families with losses.”
