SALSA: Misc. Opportunities

 

Hey y'all!

 

Check out some great opportunities below.

 

1. Overcoming Racial and Ethnic Discrimination Support Group (Mondays, 4:30-6 p.m.)

Facilitator: Dareen Basma, Ph.D.; Mengchun Chiang, Ph.D.

Racism, discrimination, and systemic oppression play a significant role in how you feel about yourself, your community and the world around you. Being directly impacted by any or all of them can feel like an added pressure that you are having to navigate on top of the stress of being a student. If you are feeling that way, know you are not alone. Join our Overcoming Racial and Ethnic Discrimination Support Group to understand how racial and ethnic discrimination affects your mind, body and feelings and find ways to work through them in a supportive and healing space. Please contact Dareen Basma at dbasma@andrew.cmu.edu to schedule a screening appointment. Please see the attached flyers below. 

 

2. CLAS Film Series - The Chambermaid

Screening Date: Monday, March 8, 2021

Screening Location: Please register starting 2/5/21 - https://tinyurl.com/y6fte2b3

Runtime:  1h 42m
Filmmaker/Director: Lila Ávilés
Fiction / Mexico / 2019
In her feature debut, Lila Ávilés turns the monotonous work day of Eve, a chambermaid at a high-end Mexico city hotel, into a beautifully observed film of rich detail. Set entirely in this alienating environment, with extended scenes taking place in the guest rooms, hallways, and cleaning facilities, this minimalist yet sumptuous movie brings to the fore Eve's hopes, dreams, and desires. As with Alfonso Cuarón's Roma, set in the same city, The Chambermaid salutes the invisible women caretakers who are the hard-working backbone of society.
Language: Spanish
