Life Beyond the File: An Interactive Session for High School Students
Do you have a file? What does it say about you? What would you want it to say? In this interactive session we’ll use poetry to ‘talk back’ to the labels that are used to define us. Facilitated by File/Life Community Archivists Cecilia and Jacob Lee, and File/Life collaborating Artist and Social Worker Biany Perez.
Light refreshments will be served.
This session will be ASL interpreted and CART captioned.
FIle/Life contains sensitive content. This session is most appropriate for students ages 15-18. Please consider our viewer advisory.
This Community Conversation is offered as part of the File/Life installation.
