International Women’s Day is an internationally recognized day that acknowledges the contributions of women worldwide. Celebrations in many countries around the world include: parties, political actions, educational forums, and commemorations. In some countries, it is a day of rest and relaxation, honoring women for the work that they do to maintain their families and communities all year.
In recognition of this day, the Women of Color Leadership Network and the GSS Graduate Women’s Network have come together to organize an afternoon of exhibits, art, music and food.
This event is free, open to the public and wheelchair accessible. For more information contact WOCLN at 413.545.1671 or wocln@stuaf.umass.edu, or contact GWN at gss-gwn@grad.umass.edu
We will have audience-engaged drumming performance to begin the celebration. Come before 4:30 if you’d like to hear and/or participate in the drumming!
