OXY ARTS, 4757 York Blvd. LA CA 90042

Join us for the 2nd workshop of a 3-part free art-making workshop series. In the series, we will be creating projects inspired by our current exhibition, Flesh of the Forest, curated by Tiffany E. Barber. The exhibition features nine contemporary artists from the African diaspora who engage with the forest as a rich, multilayered site of history, memory, sensation, and feeling through sculpture, painting, film, and installation. 

Project SAFE invites the Oxy community to the Halloween Consent Carnival, a festive evening that combines spooky seasonal fun with interactive activities designed to promote healthy communication, boundary-setting, and respect. Featuring carnival-style games, creative stations, costume contests, and plenty of treats, the event offers students a playful, low-pressure space to learn about consent and connect with peers.

Together, we will use collage as a way to explore themes of memory, ecology, embodiment, and transformation.

This workshop is designed as a supportive and reflective space where art becomes a tool for care, connection, and reclamation. Through guided prompts and open exploration, participants can create works that honor rootedness, shadow, and the fragments that make up our stories.

Led by a trauma-informed instructor, this session centers empowerment through mindful movement, self-compassion, and embodied presence. Whether you're a seasoned yogi or brand new to the mat, all bodies and identities are welcome. This is a quiet space to honor yourself, support one another, and embrace rest as a radical act of care.

No prior yoga experience is needed. Mats will be available, or feel free to bring your own. Remember to wear comfortable clothes that you can move in.

The MAC Department and the Los Angeles and Film class proudly present City of Gold, a documentary film about the life of famed L.A. food critic Jonathan Gold. Join us for a delicious evening where we celebrate the diversity of Los Angeles through its food.

Every year, the fair is hosted during Project SAFE’s Empowerment Week, an annual observance held at Occidental College to raise awareness of campus sexual assault and provide a platform for survivors and their allies to share messages of hope and healing. The Empowerment Resource Fair is open to all students, staff, and faculty committed to raising awareness of and preventing sexual assault and gender-based violence on college campuses. Games, activities, prizes and resources will be provided for all who participate!
