Starring Ranveer Singh and Anushka Sharma, this film is a love story of two wedding planners in Delhi, Shruti and Bittoo. While Shruti is a savvy business oriented girl who aspires to become the best wedding planner in India, Bitoo is the happy-go-lucky character who takes life as it comes. Despite their contrasting personalities, when both of them set up their own wedding planning company, the plot moves through entertaining twists and turns. The film is replete with colorful dances that showcase the lavishness, celebration, and enjoyment in Indian weddings. Maneesh Sharma, 140 min., Hindi with English subtitles, 2010, USA.

Liberation Shows Up!: Ableism & Disability Justice
MCC LOUNGE
This workshop dares us to understand and adore our whole selves. Being Disabled, Sick, Chronically Ill, Deaf, and/or being Brilliant/Crazy are often understood as flaws. Participants will discuss avenues of critical intersections as brown, poor, trans, immigrant, disabled, other. Everyone is encouraged to participate, but priority will be offered to those who live with SDQ (Sick & Disabled Queer/Transgender Indigenous or People of Color) experiences. Participants are asked to please bring their journals and/or writing materials.
