Technology, Militarization and Resistance: Connecting Black and Palestinian Queer Struggles<\/strong> on Monday, March 2nd, 5:30pm at Tufts University Alumnae Lounge. Speakers Sa\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ed Atshan and Darnell Moore will reflect on their forthcoming article in which two LGBTQ men, one Black American and the other Palestinian, theorize \u00e2\u20ac\u0153reciprocal solidarity\u00e2\u20ac\u009d as a model of solidarity that thrives on love, friendship, storytelling, reciprocity, shared experiences, struggles, and queer kinship. During their talk, they will reflect on incarceration, militarization, and mass mobilization as central to both the contemporary struggle for black lives in the US and the Palestinian fight for self-determination. The two argue that a transnational solidarity can easily emerge out of a set of shared structural challenges.<\/p>\n

“She’s Beautiful When She’s Angry” Film Screening<\/strong>, now through Thursday, March 5th, at Coolidge Corner Theater. “She’s Beautiful When She’s Angry” resurrects the buried history of the outrageous, often brilliant women who founded the modern women\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s movement from 1966 to 1971. “She’s Beautiful” takes us from the founding of NOW, with ladies in hats and gloves, to the emergence of more radical factions of women\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s liberation; from intellectuals like Kate Millett to the street theatrics of WITCH (Women\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s International Conspiracy from Hell!). It does not shy away from controversies over race, sexual preference and leadership that arose in the women\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s movement, and brilliantly captures the spirit of the time.<\/p>\n

During this workshop we will explore the role of chanting, singing & vibration in harnessing power for creating the change our movement is calling for. We will share protest songs from previous movements, create original songs specifically for the current Black Liberation Movement and create a community of people who can help harness the strength and spirit of our ancestors for more effective creative actions.
