Pieces may be sent to fsppmjpa+submissions@umich.
edu. More information can be found at http://mjpa.umich.edu/contribute/ - Indigenous Women and Women of Color Student Summit We cordially invite you to submit a workshop proposal for the 4th Indigenous Women and Women of Color Student Summit (IWWOCS Summit), to be held on Saturday, March 24, 2018, at the Carlson School of Management on the University of Minnesota campus. Because of your background and dedication in working for and with young indigenous women and women of color in our community, we know you have much wisdom and knowledge to share at this summit, and we hope that you will consider submitting a workshop proposal.
Learn more and submit a workshop proposal here. The deadline for workshop proposals has been extended to 11:59 PM on Friday, January 19. Please feel free to pass this call on to your networks as appropriate. Note: although this is not a paid opportunity, workshop presenters will have their summit registration fees waived.
About the 2018 SummitThis World is Ours to Build: The theme of this summit was inspired by civil rights activist Yuri Kochiyama, who said, “Remember that consciousness is power… Tomorrow’s world is yours to build.” We were also influenced by Alicia Garza, activist and co-creator of #BlackLivesMatter, who reminded us, “This is the time for us to not just dream about what could be, but also start to build alternatives that we want to see.”
With this theme, we want to ask ourselves and our students: how will we make the world better? What do we need to sustain ourselves as we make our contributions? This may mean making space to heal, through sharing our narratives and finding community with one another. It might be taking time to examine our multiple identities as indigenous women and women of color, particularly as we navigate predominantly white institutions. Perhaps it is about being inspired by the phenomenal people around us, building our activist skills, and learning how we can use our passions to make the world better. As you draft your workshop proposals, we hope that you channel your wisdom and expertise into sessions that give students the chance to nurture themselves, to dream, and take action toward creating the world they want to see.
The summit prioritizes and centers the voices and experiences of women-identified indigenous students and students of color. For more information about the summit, visit: diversity.umn.edu/women/iwwocss

Artists and scholars Bo Zheng (City University of Hong Kong) and Diane Willow (University of Minnesota) are collaborating to present this month-long experiential exhibition at the University of Minnesota. Conceived as a participatory, social catalyst, the exhibition presents the work of SEACHINA (Socially Engaged Art in Contemporary China), the emergence of a Weed Party collective in Minneapolis/St Paul, and the cultivation of a series of participatory and interdisciplinary collaborations, conversations, teas, actions, performances, readings, and future imaginings. Guided by questions, debates, and embodied knowledge, Politics of Weeds becomes a creative catalyst to explore: how we work with plants to transform politics; how we propagate cultures of resistance, resilience, and re-imagination; and how we form and transform our relationships with plants.Creative CollaboratorsFrancis Bettelyoun, Reb L Limerick, Lisa Ashton Philander, Koua Yang, Marcus YoungBo Zheng Artist Statement and BiographyBo Zheng is an artist and teacher committed to socially and ecologically engaged art. He investigates the past and imagines the future from the perspectives of marginalized communities and marginalized plants. He has collaborated with a number of museums and art spaces in Asia and Europe, most recently Hong Kong Museum of Art, Power Station of Art (Shanghai), TheCube Project Space (Taipei), CASS Sculpture Foundation (UK), and Villa Vassilieff (Paris). His website: http://zhengbo.org/.Diane Willow Artist Statement and BiographyDiane Willow is a multi-modal artist and creative catalyst. By any medium necessary best describes her process. She invites people to participate as choreographers of their experience of art as she tunes our attention to ephemeral experiences, common places, and all forms of life. Diane has been an Osher Fellow at the Exploratorium, artist in residence at MIT, visiting professor at the MIT Media Lab, and guest professor of New Media Art at the Beijing Film Academy.

Nash Gallery MissionThe Katherine E. Nash Gallery is a research laboratory for the practice and interpretation of the visual arts. We believe the visual arts have the capacity to interpret, critique and expand on all of human experience. Our engagement with the visual arts helps us to discover who we are and understand our relationships to each other and society. The Katherine E. Nash Gallery will be a center of discourse on the practice of visual art and its relationship to culture and community -- a place where we examine our assumptions about the past and suggest possibilities for the future. The Nash Katherine E. Gallery will play an indispensable role in the educational development of students, faculty, staff and the community.

- Clapback at Microaggression WorkshopJanuary 27 from 1pm-6pmIndigenous Roots Cultural Arts Center788 East 7th Street, Saint Paul, MN 55106
Funny Asian Women Kollective (FAWK) presents:
The Clapback is an intensive 5-hour workshop that will introduce 30 Asian Pacific Islander American (APIA) women to the idea of using comedy to combat or “clap back” at microaggressive behaviors.
Funny Asian Women Kollective (FAWK) exists to combat the invisibility and dehumanization of Asian Pacific Islander American women (APIA). As APIA women, we are often discouraged to be ourselves, to recognize our value, and are denied opportunities to realize our potential. We live in a bind and are often denied our humanity. We believe in using performance art, comedy, and storytelling to talk about controversial issues (ex: race, patriarchy, white supremacy, sexual health) as humor and the arts allows us to navigate our discomforts.
FAWK and local artists will facilitate participatory workshops on America’s complex history with race, social justice, empowerment, comedy, improv, writing, and performance.

- News from Immigration Response Team
Frequently Asked Questions about DACAWe are still hopeful Congress will act before March 5 to come up with a permanent solution for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. But to understand how the end of DACA will affect UMN students, we posted answers to common questions. View the DACA FAQ here.
We encourage students with DACA to consult with us especially before their work authorization expires. To schedule a consultation, please email immigration@umn.edu.
Temporary Protected Status for SalvadoransThe administration announced on Monday it will end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for El Salvador, and will begin notifying Salvadorans they have until Sept. 9, 2019 to leave the United States or acquire a new immigration status.Although the news was not a surprise (in recent months, the administration canceled TPS for Haiti, Nicaragua and Sudan), the decision will have a harmful impact on Salvadorans and El Salvador. Salvadorans are the largest group with the temporary status (about 200,000), and it is estimated they are parents to 190,000 U.S.-born children.Salvadoran government officials urged the administration to renew TPS. El Salvador is wracked by violence, largely a result of gang activity. The U.S. State Department documents widespread extortion and crime in poor communities, widespread corruption, high levels of impunity and government abuse, violence against women and girls, and other human rights violations.
The Daily podcast today (listen to Tuesday, Jan. 9. 2018) provides a good overview of the U.S. relationship to today's violence, beginning with U.S. government aid to the government of El Salvador during the 12-year civil war in the 1980s.Immigrant rights groups argued that returning so many people would cause further harm to them and the country. But the administration argued that only the original justification for the temporary status should be considered. In the case of El Salvador, protection from deportation was given after earthquakes devastated the country in 2001. In announcing the decision to end TPS for El Salvador, the Department of Homeland Security said conditions in the country after the 2001 earthquakes had improved.
The Dream Act of 2017News about the end of DACA and TPS has put increased focus on the Dream Act of 2017 , bipartisan legislation introduced in the Senate and House. The bill would provide a path to U.S. citizenship for those who are either undocumented, have DACA or TPS, and who graduate from U.S. high schools and attend college, enter the workforce or enlist in the military. The National Immigration Law Center has this side-by-side comparison of the 2017 Dream Act with DACA.
Calling your representatives in Congress is one of the most important ways to make your support for the Dream Act known. You can find your representative and senators telephone numbers here.
