Reclaiming Consent, Confronting Harm: Gender Race & Class Borders
WACD | 3 p.m., Kaufman Hall
This workshop emphasizes how consent is an extremely important concept to grasp as we're moving in opposition to so many forms of oppression, call-outs of celebrities and well known figureheads whose behavior is far from consensual. We often lose sight of hierarchical structures socializing us to often behave unconsensually, i.e. the courts, the police, the Nation State, and government (as well as its media) in general.
This workshop, discussion, and activity expand the conversation of consent from interpersonal relations towards larger oppressive systems of domination, highlighting the social hierarchies and Western Colonial Binaries responsible for Rape Culture. Activities include watching short clips to assess popular/mainstream culture's consent (or lack thereof) and a participatory activity on what prior informed consent can look like. These conversations hope to display how getting collective-individual consent is an imperative aspect of #autonomy.
Featuring: Edxie Betts, a Black Pilipin@ BlackFoot Queer Trans Gender Non-Conforming Anti-authoritarian Femme neuro-divergent, autonomous organizer, political cultural producer, and liberation artist.
