LOCUS Microaggressions Mini Film Festival
Thursday, October 30, 2014
6:00pm - 8:30pm
The Jay and Rose Phillips Family Foundation
"Everyday slight, putdown, indignity, or invalidation unintentionally directed toward a marginalized group." So-defined microaggressions have been the subject of recent and prolific media attention, countless internet memes, and even locally documented by students at a Minnesota college.
To explore the myriad microaggressions that diverse communities encounter on a regular basis, LOCUS invites you to a Microaggressions Mini Film Festival. We'll connect with each other over a light meal, watch YouTube videos (and welcome your nominations to locus.mn[at]gmail.com), and discuss the impact of microaggressions and our personal and collective efforts to navigate and combat them. Join us!
*This event is organized for and by people of color as a supportive and courageous space.
