The Washington State University Women*s Center invites the Pullman campus community to help celebrate its 50th anniversary. The celebration’s theme “Shining Together: Celebrating 50 years for Collective Empowerment” honors the center’s legacy of uplifting marginalized voices and advancing gender equality, while looking toward a radiant future.
The first event, titled Radiant Resistance, is an art exhibition and keynote speech by Sophia Wallace, on Friday, Feb. 28, 4–7 p.m., in the Jordan Schnitzer Art Museum. Wallace is a visionary artist who challenges societal taboos surrounding female sexuality, advocates for body sovereignty, and addresses the marginalization of female and queer bodies. The artist keynote will begin at 4:15 p.m., followed by the showcase and exhibit tour at 5:30 p.m. This event is free, and registration is not required.
On Saturday, March 1, the center will host a “Shine Together Brunch,” 10–11:30 a.m., at the Elson S. Floyd Cultural Center. An RSVP is required to reserve your seat.
The brunch will feature a panel discussion featuring Amy Sharp, director of the Women*s Center, ASWSU President Tania Henriques, Eliza Pepito, chair of the Coalition for Women Students, Chloe Ko, Multicultural Green Counsel chair, and Mariam Sylla, vice president of the Black Union. Conversations will be inspired by the Shine Theory and the Women*s Center’s enduring legacy.
We look forward to seeing you at both events!
