Race and Literature
MCC Meeting Room
This year, the MultiCultural Center is kicking off a new series to explore the issues of race and belonging through literature. This will be an interactive space for lively discussions on various theories about race, a safe space for articulating perspectives on identity and belonging which are contextualized by different authors, and an intentional time for centering the narratives of marginalized communities. Discussions will be facilitated by various faculty members, graduate students, and staff members. Readings may be suggested but are not required for attendance. This series hopes to cultivate open dialogue, and a spirit of appreciation and intellectual kinship. Dessert will be provided! All are welcome. Please contact the MCC if you’re interested in leading the conversation.
One Woman Show: Radical Time Travel and Other Acts of Resistance Denise Uyehara
MCC Theater
Award-winning performance artist, writer, and director, Denise Uyehara, asks difficult questions through solo and collaborative projects: If Columbus were assassinated, how would life today be different? What does life look like for an undocumented worker in Tucson? How do we begin to break the cycle of injustice happening over and over again? Through action, ritual, text, and video, Uyehara explores these questions, providing layered and complicated responses instead of outright answers, challenging us to look deeper in these troubling times.
