Take Back the Night

Take Back the Night is the cornerstone event of Project S.A.F.E.'s Take Back the Week, a a collection of programming during April - Sexual Assault Awareness Month, to raise awareness about sexual violence and to create a community of care for survivors on Ox'ys campus. Survivors and their allies are invited to this speak-out event in the Greek Bowl to share their stories of struggle and healing to find support and solace through community.

Care Webs: Experiments in Collective Care

In these apocalyptic times, many of us are talking about how we can care for each other outside of hospitals, social services and the medical industrial complex- through making what many call care collectives or care webs. But caring for each other sustainably is more complex than it seems. This workshop is a space to talk about the often feminized and under-respected work of care. We’ll map what allows us to ask for and give care well, and how ableism, racism, capitalism and sexism complicate who feels worthy of care and who is expected to care.

Wild Survivor Dreams: Dreaming a Future Beyond Sexual Assault

We have wild survivor dreams. In them, we are free. Join  disability/ transformative justice/ femme of color activist and writer Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha for a poetic keynote exploring how survivor brilliance is dreaming a work beyond sexual abuse, prisons and white supremacist ableist cissexist patriarchy.

Choi Auditorium is a wheelchair-accessible space. Please refrain from wearing fragranced products at the event.
