Bringing a Metal Tree to Life

Bringing a metal tree to ‘life’, we will be filling out the bark (in form of recycled fabrics) to a 9-12 ft tall metal structure. There will be paint to paint fabrics, lights to string up and through, and bring your creative mind what ever physical thing you want to include (if any) to be a part of this public art piece.
Will be a part of the Nocturne Art Festival and shown for a week in the library after.

Beyond Racial Solidarity: Asian Organizing in the Context of the Rise of the Reactionary Right

Come attend “Beyond Racial Solidarity: Asian Organizing in the Context of the Rise of the Reactionary Right,” a lecture by Helena Wong and Adrian Leong ‘16.5!

While there has been a well-documented increase of the reactionary right, there has also been an increasing presence of reactionary forces within Asian communities in the US. How are they connected? How do they differ? And what are the ways that Asian communities continue to align themselves in struggles for racial and social justice?
