Location
QUIC 209 Mitchell HallThis event is hosted by the Faith & Spiritual Life, Yellow House and ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ Hillel.
Join Faith and Spiritual Life in partnership with ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ Hillel and the Yellow House for a screening of the film "Periphery" in the ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ International Centre, in Mitchell Hall. Following the film we will engage in a facilitated discussion led by Yoni Belete (ArtSci 16'), a ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ alumnus and a co-founder of No Silence on Race.
This event is open to students and community members of all backgrounds interested in learning more about the experiences of Jewish people of colour in Canada, today.
"Periphery" is an evocative photographic and film project that bears witness to ethnic diversity in the Jewish community. Sharing narratives from individuals of multiracial and multiethnic backgrounds, Periphery creates space to look, listen, and learn from participants as they share their experiences and explore ideas of representation, intersectionality, ethnicity, race, and sexuality. Periphery also draws our attention inwards and invites us to examine how we foster and support a broader and richer view of the Jewish community.
