CLAS@Pitt Monthly Calendar/November 2021

As we head into the final stretch of the Fall 2021 semester, we have some exciting events and opportunities in November. We start the month with our Día de los Muertos Altar on display at the Global Hub. Next week we will have Lía La Novia Sirena visiting campus once again and we are also premiering the second film in our CLAS Cinema. Southern Sorceresses (Para Onde Voam as Feiticeiras) is about an activist collective that squarely confront issues of gender, social inequality and prejudice in São Paolo, to promote new perspectives and reflections on intolerance. On, Thursday, November 4 we have yet another CULTNA Event. Panoramas Roundtables continue on Fridays, and we have a tremendous teacher workshop on Cartonera book publishing. Please join us on yet another great month.
