SUBMIT YOUR WORK FOR "REVERSING THE LENS: REPRESENTATIONS OF WOMEN IN ART"
 Paola Rodelas, CCC Diversity Peer Educator, is organizing an art exhibition titled "Reversing the Lens: Representations of Women in Art." Throughout history, women have been objectified, commodified, and hypersexualized in art works, rendered as objects to be gazed at by typically male viewers. The purpose of this exhibition is to give women artists the opportunity to "reverse the lens," and give them the opportunity to represent themselves.
Paola is seeking art works in all forms of media, though space for sculptures and performance art is limited. Everyone is welcome to submit, but each work does have to embody the theme of female empowerment. The works will be displayed March 2-13 in the Cross Cultural Center. The closing exhibit will be on Friday, March 6th from 5:00p - 6:30p.
If you are interested in submitting a piece, please contact Paola Rodelas at paolarodelas@gmail.com. Please send include the title, size, media, and how it relates to the exhibition's theme. If the piece has yet to be created, please send me a proposal of what you are going to create and how it will relate to the exhibition's theme. The last day to submit works is Wednesday, February
25.
CAUSE THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO...
Thurs., Jan. 22 | 4:00PM | CCC Comunidad Room
Kari Hong, a lawyer and adjunct professor at the  University of San Francisco Law School, presents "Cause the Bible Tells Me So: A Legal History of Religion and the Institution of Marriage." In this talk, Ms. Hong will look at the legal history of marriage and examine the ways in which religion has shaped social and legal restrictions over who may enter and exit the institution of marriage. From early Christianity's emphasis on celibacy to the Protestant Reformation's rejection of the Church's restrictions, legal definitions have been tied to religious views over who may and may not be married. In the United States, the concepts of coverature, anti-miscegenation laws, no-fault divorce were rooted in religious views and subsequently were altered as social views changed. Viewed from the modern fight over same-sex marriage, the role of religion and the law intersect in ways that show that history truly is prologue. |
The Cross-Cultural Center is located on the 2 Fl. of Price Center East. For more information call 858.534.9689 or email cccenter@ucsd.edu.
