Join us for From Columbus to Coachella: Appropriation vs Appreciation on October 22nd at 7 PM.

Join us for "Columbus to Coachella: Appropriation or Appreciation?” The hot-button topic of cultural appropriation may seem like a modern issue, but its roots go back hundreds of years to the early colonization of these lands. This controversial subject is especially prevalent when discussing sports team mascots, music festival attire, Halloween costumes, and more. So, we ask: when is an act considered appropriation, versus appreciation? How can we recognize the difference? How do acts of cultural appropriation impact BIPOC heritage? Join our panel discussion of these questions and more on October 22nd at 7PM. Register below to receive the Zoom link or watch live here on Facebook!
