How have you been surviving and thriving during queerantine? Come hang out with Landen Motyka (they/them) and Nicki Roth (she/her) and chat about the ups and downs of queerantine life -- Did you binge watch Pose? Struggle with being closeted at home? Weekly topics will be determined by group members; you can join and leave at any time. This free mutual aid group starts September 22nd, and will run every Tuesday at 4pm via Zoom. Email Landen at Lmotyka@brandeis.edu if you're interested in signing up or have any questions. Sponsored by the Gender & Sexuality Center & BCC Community Therapy.
Share aspects of your culture, through your lens, and from wherever you are in the world! This group is open to students all over the world, who identify as a person of color (POC) and/or as an international student. In this workshop, members will serve as expert/presenter and share aspects of their culture(s) through their own eyes. It is up to the expert/presenter how and what they share, but some examples may include: music, pictures, stories, interviews, dress, artifacts, maps, food/recipes, dance. To enhance cultural awareness and to work towards decreasing intergroup bias, presenters will also be asked to share at least one misconception or misportrayal of their culture(s) held in mainstream (or White Supremacist) culture/media. "Is there something you want people outside of your culture to know or better understand?" Workshop leaders will present first as a model/example. If you are interested please call the front desk at 781-736-3730 to get connected!
