Occidental's Community Book Program | Bookmaking Workshop

Join the Oxy community in a hands-on bookmaking workshop led by faculty members James Ford (English, Black Studies) and Jocelyn Pedersen (Art/Art History, Library) on Thursday, October 22, from 9:30 - 11 a.m. Using this year’s Community Book selection Red at the Bone: A Novel as a guide, participants will work during the virtual workshop to create a handcrafted book.

Community Organizing Workshop Series

A core element of our partnership with the In Plain Sight coalition is to consider how artists and art spaces can be advocates for social change, on a local and global level. As part of our fall programming, we are offering a series of workshops led by community organizers on topics related to our exhibition and critical to supporting the well-being of our communities—abolishing prisons, ICE and police, and creating community care through mutual aid networks.

All workshops meet on Tuesdays, at 5pm PST.

Leadership roles can be both rewarding and burdensome at the same time. In this session, we discuss ways to reinvigorate yourself by prioritizing downtime, relaxation and self-care. Learn more about how your well-being is connected to multiple dimensions of high performance.

National Coming Out Day

National Coming Out Day was first observed on the anniversary of the National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights. Since then, it has stood as a reminder of the power of coming out. Join us in a celebration of our community and to promote a safe world for LGBTQ individuals to live truthfully and openly.
