What does it mean to be free, body, mind, and spirit? When has our right to exist within our bodies been restrained, policed, or disciplined? How do we pursue and manifest bodily autonomy across a spectrum of identities? We invite you to an evening of performance featuring Junior Mintt, Yiru Chen (Tisch ’19), Jennifer Falú, and Nina Riley (Tisch ’23) that explores our collective struggle towards bodily autonomy for all. Following the performance, join us for a conversation with the artists.

At a large urban institution with hundreds of micro-communities, it is often challenging to foster meaningful cross-cultural interactions. (April 10-14) invites the entire campus community to learn about pressing issues impacting marginalized communities, deepen our shared commitment to one another, and develop tools to advance collective justice.

This year's programming highlights issues and histories around body autonomy and self-determination across a spectrum of identities. Let's use this week to further our knowledge as well as intentionally forge stronger connections to one another.
