Description
Do you love watching music videos? Have you ever wished you could talk to someone about them? Or have a dialogue about a topic that came up from a music video?
Then this is the opportunity for you to join i3b and IDEALists (social justice peer educators) to engage in watching music videos and engage in a dialogue circle. We will be listening and watching bytes of music videos and have a shared dialogue around it.
Our first ever VideoByte is around Colorism and how it has shown up in music videos and broader media that impacts how we see ourselves and others.We will engage in talking about broader conversations around perception, performance, and race and ethnicity. No need to come in with prior knowledge- just an openness to listening and engaging as we explore (music)byte by (video)byte together!
Our i3b staff strives to create the most inclusive environment possible. All undergrads, grads, staff, faculty, and alumnx are encouraged to attend! If you need to request a disability-based accommodation or have any questions? Contact us at i3b@umbc.edu. For our uploaded event recordings, attendee lists, works cited, and other materials, please check out our Initiatives for Identity, Inclusion and Belonging (i3b) Events Drive on our Linktree. Materials will be available in this Google Drive within one business week after the event unless otherwise specified.
