Cultural Appropriation workshop & film screening
THURSDAY MARCH 15th, 6-9pm @ 2110 Mackay

Join us at the 2110 Centre for Gender Advocacy for a workshop on
cultural appropriation. We will discuss how the commodification of
cultures fits into the context of racism and colonialism. There will
be a screening of the film "Yellow Apparel - When the Coolie Becomes
Cool", a short documentary dealing with the commodification of Asian
cultures, followed by discussion.

This event is FREE and held in a wheelchair accessible venue. Free ASL
interpretation and childcare are available (minimum 48hr advance
request). Metro tickets and snacks will be provided. The 2110 Centre
is a scent-free space, please avoid wearing perfumes or other scented
products.
