Hello!

On behalf of the Associated Students of the University of Washington Office of Government Relations (ASUW OGR), we would like to formally invite you to our 13th Annual Legislative Reception. The reception will be held on Friday, November 15th, from 5:30-7:30pm in the University of Washington’s HUB South Ballroom, with doors opening at 5pm. 

With the 2020 legislative session just around the corner, this reception is an opportunity for elected officials to converse with students on higher education policy and advocacy. As you may know, the ASUW puts together a new legislative agenda each year, and we will be releasing our new agenda at this event. This agenda will be comprised of issues facing students, and attendees will have a unique opportunity to sit down for dinner and engage in a discussion about real issues with actual students before committee days the following week. Previous guest speakers have included Attorney General Bob Ferguson, Governor Jay Inslee, as well as students and administrative leaders from the University of Washington. This event serves as a unique experience for students to share their stories, and continue to build a relationship between the UW student body and the legislature.

Your presence at this event would be an honor. The details of the event are listed again below:

What: 13th Annual ASUW Legislative Reception

 Welcome        to Week 5! <3 

QTBIPOC Artist Spotlight of the Week:

Rudy Loewe

Rudy        Loewe is a visual artist utilising drawing, painting and printmaking as        a means of building narrative and contributing to dialogues on social        themes. They work with large scale, sometimes directly onto surfaces        that then ensure their temporality; as well as small scale in forms        such as publications.

The        work itself is bright and colourful, referencing aesthetics from the        Afro Caribbean diaspora. It also represents different kinds of        bodies, highlighting differing races; non conforming genders; sexualities;        classes and (dis)ability. Rudy makes the work that reflects the        narratives they would like to see in the world, the histories that are        not getting the visibility or care that they deserve.

The Queer        & Trans People of Color Alliance (QTPOCA) will        be meeting this Friday, location TBD!

LAVISH        QTPOC Art Showcase        (Tuesday, May 21,        2019) 6:30 PM - 9 PM @ Ethnic Cultural Theater        3931 Brooklyn Ave NE, Seattle, Washington 98105   

Lavish             is a multi-arts showcase opportunity centering Queer and Trans             People of Color (QTPoC). We will provide a platform for UW             students to receive mentorship (by way of building a sustained             relationship with a teaching artist) and community building among             QTPoCs and artists on campus and in the greater Seattle community.

        There             are many ways to participate in the showcase. Opportunities             include (but are not limited to): emcees/MC, deejays/DJ,             performance artists, fine artists, spoken word, poetry, musicians,             dramaturge, stage managers, community organizers, and more.

        The             showcase is student-driven and its final form will be created             organically among the participating artists. Lavish centers             artists who identify as QTPoC. White allies/accomplices are also             welcome to participate. Artists of any experience level are             enthusiastically invited to participate in this low stakes/high             support experience.       

Please consider filling out the following form if you        are interested in participating at Lavish: https://forms.gle/dq7TMqV8YQAfvtu2A                We will host an Informational Session on May 3, 2019, 3:00PM at the Q        Center (HUB 315).

2019 Living Breath of        wǝɫǝbʔaltxʷ Food Symposium        (Friday, May        3, 2019) 8:45 AM - 5 PM @ wǝɫǝbʔaltxʷ -        Intellectual House       

Our             2019 theme is “Reclaiming Food as Family Medicine.” This theme             focuses on how Indigenous families are working together to reclaim             and revitalize food traditions as a way to support community             health and wellness. Other themes this symposium covers are:             traditional foods, plants and medicines; environmental and food             justice; food sovereignty; health and wellness; and treaty rights.       

----------------------------------------------------------------        Our planning committee is composed of Indigenous women who represent        interdisciplinary academic fields of study and philanthropy in the        Northwest Coast; women who are committed to Indigenous food sovereignty        and environmental justice, and whose lived and scholarly experiences,        personal passions, and academic research are firmly grounded in their        homelands and communities. We volunteer our time to host this annual        community-driven event as we recognize the need to come together in        dialogue and action as we build collaborative networks to sustain our        Indigenous food practices and preserve our healthy relationships to the        land, water, and all living things.                ACCESSIBILITY        INFORMATION:      

The             Intellectual House is wheelchair accessible into the building and             Gathering Hall, there is accessible parking right next to the             building. For accommodations, please contact the Disability             Services Office at 206-543-6450, or [email protected].

Sacred Breath:        Writing and Storytelling        (Wednesday,        May 1, 2019) 6:30-8:30 PM @ wǝɫǝbʔaltxʷ -        Intellectual House

This event features writer and        Sacred Breath founder, Elissa Washuta (Cowlitz) and local northwest        storyteller Sondra Segundo (Haida).       

Storytelling             offers a spiritual connection, a sharing of sacred breath.             Literature, similarly, preserves human experience and ideals. Both             forms are durable and transmit power that teaches us how to live.             Both storytelling and reading aloud can impact audiences through             the power of presence, allowing for the experience of the transfer             of sacred breath as audiences are immersed in the experience of             being inside stories and works of literature. 

ABOUT THE ARTISTS:       

Elissa             Washuta is a member of the Cowlitz Indian Tribe and a writer of             personal essays and memoir. She is the author of two books,             Starvation Mode and My Body Is a Book of Rules, named a finalist             for the Washington State Book Award. With Theresa Warburton, she             is co-editor of the anthology Shapes of Native Nonfiction,             forthcoming from University of Washington Press. She has received             fellowships and awards from the National Endowment for the Arts,             Artist Trust, 4Culture, Potlatch Fund, and Hugo House. Elissa is             an assistant professor of English at Ohio State University.

        Sondra             Segundo is an artist and singer of the Haida language. She is an             educator and has worked with youth in schools and programs             throughout the Northwest, teaching art and sharing her Indigenous             children’s books and songs. Everything Sondra does tells a story.             Her composed Haida songs tell a story. Her illustrations in her             books tell a story. Her movements while she dances, tell a story.             Although she is individually accomplished in each of these facets             of her life, they are all intertwined by her passion—storytelling.             Recently, Sondra has been recruited by tribal-funk band Khu.eex’             as lead female vocalist and has performed at venues such as The             Paramount Theater & Upstream Music Fest. She released her             first personal music album “Díi Gudangáay uu Síigaay-I Can Feel             the Ocean” on 8-8-18.

Storytelling Strategies for Dismantling Racism

(April 11, 2019 - 9:30 AM - 4:30 PM) 

Storytelling       is an ancient human technology meant to encapsulate information and       build connections. We are all capable of sharing our stories and more       importantly, to witnessing and hearing each other with openness and       compassion.

·          Facilitators: Nikkita Oliver (featured) with youth storyteller,  Azura Tyabji, Natasha Marin, Fleur Larsen, and Bert Hopkins.

How can we strategically explore and dismantle problematic racial  structures in our organizations using our own personal stories?

During this training, facilitators will guide participants in the  following:

+ Exploring institutional narratives and the structures.  + Practicing deep listening, especially with regards to the language of power  & privilege.  + Role-play for navigating difficult conversations.

Join us in this training to explore how storytelling can be used  to develop concrete strategies to help individuals and organizations actively  engaged in anti-racist work.

Let’s       Talk       is a free program that connects UW students with support from       experienced counselors from the Counseling Center and Hall Health Center       without an appointment.       Counselors hold walk-in hours at two sites on campus (Hall Health Center &       Q-Center at the HUB) every Wednesday from 1-4pm. Let’s       Talk offers informal consultation – it is not a substitute for regular       therapy, counseling, or psychiatric care.              The HUB’s front entrance is wheelchair accessible and the common area is       to the right of the main desk.       An all-genders restroom can be found at the 3rd floor, down the hallway       from the Q Center. Gender binary bathrooms with multiple stalls can be       found on each floor of the HUB.       The HUB IS not kept scent-free but we ask that you do not wear       scented/fragranced products (e.g. perfume, hair products) or essential       oils to/in the Q Center in order to make the space accessible to those       with chemical injury or multiple chemical sensitivity.
