Fashion
Resistance to Militarism
Thursday, May 13
Agate Hall (18th & Agate)
7pm (doors open at 6:30)
This
unique Fashion Show challenges some pervasive assumptions about militarism in
our society. The show will uncover the high costs of militarism in terms
of people's lives, emotional well being, environmental contamination, carbon
footprint, war profiteering, and all the ways war is made to seem normal.
Each design will be paired with an informative script; together they will
tell a wider story about militarism in our society.
Directed
and emceed by Carol Horne Dennis, the show is a creative collaboration between
U O students, staff, and faculty, WAND members and Eugene community
members.
Admission is FREE.
Donations are welcome and will benefit Committee Countering Military
Recruitment, Vets for Peace and Juvetud Faceta.
Don't miss this
"counter couture" for peace and justice!
Co-Sponsored by CALC.
