$2 Admission at ECHO Center Jan 12th: RACE: Are we so different?
Great opportunity to see this exhibit before it closes on January 27th. This daylong event will focus on experiences with race and identity in Vermont. Programs include a special performance by the African hip hop trio A2VT which means "Africa to Vermont," as well as a panel discussion about Asian American Identity, focused on the complex dynamics of race relationships shaped by Asian Americans, which are often invisible in today's conversations about race. The day will conclude with original films, and conversations with filmmakers, about Native American Identity and Culture in Vermont.
