Hi Anteaters!🪻
The Sexual Health Commission is excited to announce our booth collaboration with UCI CARE for Denim Day. We will be hosting a joint booth on Wednesday, April 23rd in Humanities Ring. We encourage you all to come out to learn more about the history of Denim Day and to take home a free polaroid photo with you as well! 📷💙
Disclaimer: Please note, some content discussed may be triggering to attendees. Discretion advised.
Join us on May 1 for a showing of “Smoke Signals” (1998), hosted by the Indigenous Identity Commission! Free pizza will be provided 🍕
Indigenous voices are the producers and stars in this movie, which was a first at the time. It helped tackle dominant Native American stereotypes and helped pave the way for future representations of Native Americans in cinema!
We hope to see you there!
