DESCRIPTION:On Saturday, November 19, as cities across the globe mark World Toilet Day 
 2016, San Francisco-based nonprofit Lava Mae is "going big" by staging a 
 14' x 14" x 10' toilet art installation piece to call attention to the 
 eye-opening lack of access to toilets for individuals around the world, 
 across the U.S., and throughout San Francisco:\n\n- 2.5 billion people 
 around the globe lack access to safe, reliable sanitation.\n- 1.5 million 
 Americans lack access to full indoor plumbing.\n- In San Francisco alone, 
 more than 7,500 individuals experiencing homelessness lack access to 
 restrooms and basic sanitation.\n \nPlease join us with your guests on 
 Saturday, 11.19 from 10am to 3pm at PROXY SF (Hayes Valley) for an 
 interactive day of art + activism designed to surprise, educate, and 
 inspire adults + kids of all ages.\n\nLava Mae World Toilet Day activities 
 include:\n\n- An eye-opening, interactive art installation featuring a 14' 
 x 14" x 10' Giant Tent Toilet, plus accompanying toilet paper holder. \n\n- 
 826 Valencia-led student writing activities (think: Poop Haikus!)\n\n- 
 Tours of Lava Mae's well-known and well-loved mobile hygiene Blue Bus.\n\n- 
 "Learn More & Take Action" stations to advocate for increased access to 
 basic sanitation + hygiene for all.\n\nThe Giant Tent Toilet was created by 
 world renowned artist Robin Lasser, who is widely-known for her interactive 
 artworks and Tent Dress series, in collaboration with fashion designer 
 Rachel Richardson and plumber Sean Collins.\n\nAs viewers step inside the 
 Tent Toilet interior, they will see blue swirls of water and hear 
 accompanying audio of flushing sounds. The soundtrack will also include 
 short reflections and stories from Lava Mae's homeless guests, discussing 
 the daily challenges of accessing sanitation and maintaining a sense of 
 dignity.  \n\nWe'd lava for you to join us on Saturday, November 19, and to 
 please share this invitation widely!\n\nFree, and please RSVP.\n
