Description
Building Bridges: Cultural Appropriation versus Cultural Exchange
In our second installment of the “Building Bridges” series, we will discuss the history of blackface and cultural appropriation of Halloween costumes. You can expect to share personal stories of cultural appropriation and brainstorm how we can share our cultures while being respectful and honoring our history.
Third Thursdays | September–February | 5:00–7:00pm
Building Bridges is a program series meant to encourage an understanding of racism, racial identity, and how race impacts society. By bridging some of the divides that exist when it comes to talking about race, this series will encourage a deeper understanding of participant’s own experiences with racial identity. The topics explored will provide opportunities for participants to think critically, reflect, learn, internalize, and engage meaningfully with others in their community. Our program series will be led by longtime educator, activist, and Oregon native Alexis Braly.
