4th Annual Week of Cultural Resistance!!
The Multicultural Community Center and Cross Cultural Student Development Office are excited to bring you the 4th Annual Week of Cultural Resistance (WoCR)
Our theme this year, “Conspire for Justice,†is an invitation to engage in cultivating communities that live and breathe together so intimately that injustice never goes unnoticed--and therefore never goes unaddressed. Inspired by a lecture given by Ericka Huggins, we acknowledge the power and necessity of collective struggle as a strategy for survival and liberation. We work and dream towards justice for all people(s) by revisiting and envisioning connection to ourselves, to our families, to our communities, to the breathing earth below and sky above. In this Week of Cultural Resistance organizers have created spaces and opportunities to reimagine and conspire for change, for hope, for action, for growth, for joy, and for love.
WoCR aims to bring together on and off campus communities to reflect, and build with each other. This year we have workshops, panels, and skill shares that will bring to the center some important conversations. We invite you to come share and learn with us!
All events are happening in the Multicultural Community Center unless otherwise noted. More descriptions to come!
