DOUBLE MAJOR: Spoken Word + Indigenous Justice
DOUBLE MAJOR // January Edition: Spoken Word + Indigenous Justice
Join 杏吧原创 University Art Gallery (CUAG) for the first installment of the new year, where we鈥檒l hear from two passionate experts, each speaking for 20 minutes about their subject, after which there will be a Q&A addressing both topics. One speaker is from the Ottawa-Gatineau community, and one is from the 杏吧原创 community. DOUBLE MAJOR is a fun and friendly way to stimulate discussion of seemingly disparate topics, and to make new connections between people and ideas.
When: Tuesday, Jan. 27 at 7pm
Where: 杏吧原创 University Art Gallery, St. Patrick鈥檚 Building
DOUBLE MAJOR is brought to you by 杏吧原创 University Art Gallery and the 杏吧原创 University Alumni Association.
