Dr. Paul Joseph López Oro (Smith College) will present on his in-progress manuscript, "Indigenous Blackness in the Americas: The Queer Politics of Self-Making Garifuna New York," which is a transdisciplinary ethnography on how gender and sexuality shapes the ways in which transgenerational Garifuna New Yorkers of Central American descent negotiate, perform, and articulate their multiple subjectivities as Black, Indigenous, and Central American Caribbeans.

Film Screening: IF I GO WILL THEY MISS ME
|
March 9 | 1:30 PST
Join us for a film screening and talk with writer/director Walter Thompson-Hernandez. IF I GO WILL THEY MISS ME, his first short film, won the Short Film Jury Award at Sundance Film Festival 2022. The film highlights a toxic jet fuel dump episode in Southeast Los Angeles to subtly call attention to environmental racism, as well as being a commentary on life itself, and the ability to attempt to fly and pursue our dreams.
Walter Thompson-Hernandez is an alumnus, multi-media artist, author of The Compton Cowboys and a former NYTimes journalist.

CITY LIGHTS THEATER
529 S Second St., San Jose
It’s 1975, Saigon has fallen, and Quang and Tong should be grateful they’ve made it to the United States. But he lost his wife and she lost her brother. And Arkansas is way too weird. In this irreverent comedy told in Qui Nguyen’s audacious style, these two Vietnamese refugees try to find their way home, wherever that is. In the process, they just might find each other. Modern hip-hop meets 1970s America in an exciting mashup of history and cultures.
By Qui Nguyen | Original Music by Shane Rettig | Directed by Jeffrey Lo
Please note, tickets must be purchased in advance.
