Events for BIPoC, Queer+Trans Students

Standard

In an effort to foster stronger social connections and a sense of community amongst students who identify as Black, Indigenous, and Persons of Colour, and students who identify as Queer + Trans, we are hosting two movie and dinner nights featuring a short documentary and Q&A with the movie-maker. These events support UBC’s overall efforts to advance inclusion and create a more welcoming campus. Please help us raise awareness of these two events and engage students by sharing with your student communities. Any help would be appreciated as we are running a bit behind with promotions. 

Get Connected: BIPoC Students Movie + Dinner Night

Wednesday, November 21, 5:00PM – 7:00PM

BC Hydro Theatre, Centre for Interactive Research on Sustainability 

Are you a student who identifies as Black, Indigenous, or a Person of Colour (BIPoC)? Come out and get connected with your peers over dinner, enjoy an exclusive screening of All Our Father’s Relations, and meet the filmmaker behind this award-winning documentary. Through a story of four siblings who journey to China to rediscover their father’s roots and better understand his fractured relationship with their Musqueam mother, our feature film chronicles the little-known connection between Chinese immigrants and the Musqueam people, and explores their shared struggles today and in the past. Free, but registration is required as seating is limited. Brought to you by the UBC Equity & Inclusion Office and UBC Equity Ambassadors.
