November 22, 2010 to November 25, 2010
Linked Oppressions: Racism, Homophobia and Transphobia
In conjunction with Trans Awareness Week, “Linked Oppressions” will be a week dedicated to the investigation of the various ways in which the issues of racism, homophobia and transphobia intersect in our culture.
The week’s events are as follows:
Monday Nov. 22: The Trans Inclusion Group hosts a FREE screening of: “TWO SPIRITS”co-hosted by the Women and Gender Studies Student Union. Two Spirits is a compelling documentary about a life that was cut short for a Navajo teenager who was nádleehi - person with both masculine and feminine essences. The film also looks at the lives of the friends, family and larger community of Fred Martinez, reaching beyond the violent act that ended with his murder, and exploring issues of gender, spirituality and sexuality.
The film will be screening in the William Doo Auditorium (45 Willcocks St.) from 6-8 p.m. Refreshments will be provided.
