Charlene Carruthers and adrienne maree brown: Energizing Change
@ Columbia College Chicago
1104 S Wabash Ave, Chicago, IL 60605
Opening Saturday, May 4th, from 3PM - 4:15PM
Join activists and authors Charlene Carruthers (Unapologetic) and adrienne maree brown (Pleasure Activism) for an honest talk about what it takes to make change.
It’s not a stretch to suggest that true revolutionary power lies in a group’s ability to come together, organize, learn, share and experiment with new ways to meet social challenges. Charlene Carruthers and adrienne maree brown both know well the work involved in creating change. Join Carruthers (author of the bestselling Unapologetic: A Black, Queer and Feminist Mandate for Radical Movements) and brown (whose latest book is Pleasure Activism) as they explore questions such as “Who is responsible for creating change?” and “What can we learn from the legacy of previous change-makers?” brown and Carruthers will be in conversation with Emmanuel Garcia, a journalist and mentor known best for his role in organizing Chicago’s Latinx LGBTQ communities.
