Celebrating Black Women in the Arts
Feb 23, 2022
05:00 PM - 06:30 PM
230 North Clinton Street, Iowa City, IA 52245
Join us to explore how Black women have used the creative arts to dismantle racism, sexism, and various forms of oppression and how all women can collaborate, support, and develop a more empowered narrative of Black women for the future. We will be fostering a safe environment to invite and provoke stimulating and critical conversations about the intersectionality of being a woman of color in the form of a mixer where food and fun will be provided.
