October 22, 2024<\/strong>
\nOnline Lecture by Ms. Karimah Rahman on Decolonial Resistance of a Muslim Indo-Caribbean Woman.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ms. Rahman’s states that she embodies multiplicity, nuance, range in her lived experiences at the intersection of being a woman, Muslim, Indo-Caribbean, or Muslim Indo-Caribbean, a descendant of ancestors who were indentured labourers as well as simultaneously a part of the Caribbean, Indian, South Asian and Muslim diasporas. These are all intersectional positionalities themselves and all of these identities are valid simultaneously (the whole intersectional spectrum, multiplicity, nuance, range of lived experiences etc.).
\nThere will be a Q&A session after Ms. Rahman’s lecture.<\/p>\n

Location: Online via Zoom
\nTime: 3:30-5:00 PM

In this National Film Board documentary, Hayley Gray and Elad Tzadok survey the inspiring work of a handful of community archives across British Columbia. They talk to curators and archivists from groups traditionally marginalized or excluded communities: Indigenous, Queer, Trans, the Chinese Canadian Museum, the Tahltan Nation, the South Asian Legacy Project, and others. Along the way, we learn the secret, neglected, and untold histories we only think we know.<\/span><\/p>\n
