UWSA September Unlearning Circle

Please mark your calendar for Undoing White Supremacy Austin’s September Unlearning Circle on Saturday September 11, 2021 from 10 am to noon.

The topic for this month is Sharing Culture.

The People’s Institute for Survival and Beyond (PISAB) describes the Undoing Racism principle of Sharing Culture as, “Culture is the life support system of a community. If a community’s culture is respected and nurtured, the community’s power will grow”.

What is culture, and what do we mean when we talk about white culture in the United States? What is your/your ancestors’ story regarding how they came to this land, and what was their experience in relationship to the dominant culture?

What cultures, subcultures, and communities do you consider yourself a part of? Are there ways your communities reinforce dominant American power structures? Are there other ways your communities nurture resistance?

How can we generate a way of being with each other that honors and respects all cultures? Please come to this Unlearning Circle ready to share a piece of your cultural identity (a song, a dance, a story, a family recipe, an heirloom, etc.) that gives you life. We will also do a short journaling exercise. Register here.
