PREVIEW: Hijabi Monologues

By now many of you have heard of or even experienced the surge in hate crimes against Muslims–especially Muslim women that wear headscarves (Hijabs).

This event will begin with a teach-in, followed by student monologues about their experiences wearing hijabs.

Here you will learn about the history of the hijab, poems, stories, and who knows what else!

Even better, the event will have a FREE DESSERT BAR

Date: February 3rd

Time: 7 – 9 PM

Place: Amphitheater Auditorium, Rackham

Preview: Lips Unsealed: I Just Love a Good Play on Words.

Yoni Ki Baat is hosting their 5th annual multicultural monologue show. As in the Vagina Monologues, “Lips Unsealed” features pieces written about the female form and the empowerment of woman identified individuals. U of M students will be performing pieces addressing domestic violence, sexuality, culture, and relationships. The proceeds to this event will go to a domestic violence charity. I am going with a few friends from the U-Club Poetry Slam team (who are going to nationals in Boston btw) this Saturday night at 7:00 pm. It’s in East Quad’s newly renovated Keene Theater, which I have never been to (I’ll describe it in my review because I’m excited about new theaters). There are two shows previous to this one, Friday March 19th at 7:00pm and Saturday March 20th at 3:00pm. Tickets are $5 at MUTO/ticketmaster.com/from a YKB member or $8 at the door. RSVP to the event on Facebook at here. This event is multicultural and a poetic adventure, so anyone with the slightlest interest in spoken word art or woman empowerment should buy tickets and show up for one of the biggest events on campus!
