PLEASE NOTE: Due to inclement weather, this event has been canceled.

Versa-Style Street Dance Company members participate in a class discussion with students in WMST 100: Global Representations of Women and in the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter School for Peace and Conflict Resolution. Beginning with a demonstration from the Company focused on the contributions of women leaders in street dance culture, the event continues with a moderated discussion led by Professor Holly Mason Badra, Associate Director of the Women and Gender Studies Program. The conversation will cover the intersection of street dance and women’s experience with themes such as marginalization, the intersectionality of identity, body, sexuality, self-expression, art as resistance, visibility/invisibility, erasure, power, and community.

This event is part of the Art x Peace series, co-sponsored with the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter School for Peace and Conflict Resolution.
