actiFEST: Interactive Gallery of Social Issues
12pm to 6pm @
L.A. Pittenger Student Center, Ball State University
Room 310
Want to learn more about the social issues affecting your world? SCSA has been working with other student organizations to create a week of exciting events that are designed to arm you with the knowledge you need to destroy patriarchy, combat environmental degradation, and overall attempt to create a more inclusive, mutually beneficial world. See a documentary about the importance of environmental conservation. Participate in a “Buy Nothing” yard sale that is meant to push back against the rampant consumerism that’s destroying the environment. Attend a panel or two on intersectionality and learn how to recognize and understand multiple spheres of oppression. March in the SlutWalk to raise awareness of rape culture and promote equality for women of every race, nationality, and class. From Tuesday, April 22nd to Saturday, April 26th, actiFEST is going to be dropping knowledge bombs all over BSU--join the fun and learn how to change the world you’re living in for the better!
