Indigenous Peoples' Day
2020
|
|
We acknowledge that Stanford occupies the lands of the Muwekma Ohlone Nation, the Indigenous inhabitants of the San Francisco Bay Area, that these
lands were dispossessed by colonization and white supremacy, that those
processes are not events but ongoing processes, and that Indigenous Peoples
stand in solidarity with our African American brothers and sisters during
this time of struggle and reckoning.

Monuments, Murals & Movements:
Reimagining the Art of Social Justice
A Webinar Series
|
|
NOVEMBER 6 | 12p PT
Challenges to race, memorialization, and icons of power predominate in ongoing social, cultural, and political action and art throughout the summer of 2020. How have social movements redefined public space, articulated social justice issues in artistic form, and defied long-standing icons and monuments ESPECIALLY on University and school grounds? What is at stake in these movements and gestures and how do art and politics work together to reimagine social space, belonging, and power on campuses?
Presented by the Centering Race Consortium, a collaboration between the Center for the Study of Race and Ethnicity in America at Brown University, the Center for Comparative Studies in Race & Ethnicity at Stanford University, the Center for the Study of Race, Politics and Culture at the University of Chicago, and the Center for the Study of Race, Indigeneity, and Transnational Migration at Yale University.
This webinar series is supported by the Mellon Foundation.
