What is Intertwined 2015?
Intertwined 2015 is a space where students, professors, artists, community members and activists from the Northwest will come together to engage in discussion of how to build Women of Color Solidarity. This conference is designed to discuss strategies of change and celebrate our shared struggles through topics such as blogging, comedy, music and community organizing. This year’s panelists and workshop presenters will facilitate discussions around multiple topics within Women of Color communities such as LGBTQIA, academia, Indigenous environmental resistance, feminism, colonialism, internalized oppression and more.
In order to build Women of Color solidarity, we first have to understand what unites us. Through active learning, understanding, and reflecting upon the challenges and specific, multiple oppressions that our Women of Color communities face, we can build intersectional solidarity. We seek to provide concrete opportunities for our attendees to get involved in the movement, network with organizations, and, more importantly, engage in personal development. Why do we identify as women of color? How do we strategically build solidarity? These are questions and ideas we hope to unpack in Intertwined 2015.
The conference will be from Friday May 1st through Sunday May 3rd! Check out our website to look at all our workshops, speakers, and panels! Registration is FREE! Check out our registration form to let us know if you need help in finding a place to stay in Eugene for the conference.
