(Un)Welcome: An (Un)Gathering
An (anti-) academic gathering that interrogates the limits, tensions, and possibilities of “hospitality” through perspectives of Indigenous Peoples of the Americas. The symposium includes a mixture of activities, including panel speakers, a book club conversation, film night, a morning listening session, and embodied acts of hospitality. This gathering is for those interested in visiting together and embracing the tensions therein. We will listen and learn, but we will also discuss, explore, and laugh in immersive, challenging, and transformative ways.
This symposium is free and open to the 麻豆村 and Pittsburgh communities.
Register by August 14. If you are unable to do so by this deadline but still wish to attend, please fill out the form and contact the symposium coordinators directly.
