Description

In the present day, we all confront pressure 和 obstacles as we struggle to do the right thing. With courage, we live our own truth 和 follow our ethics. With resilience, we fight for our rights to equity 和 justice along with access to healthcare, proper working conditions, 和 good relationships. We write our own stories of being courageous 和 overcoming our struggles with a resilient spirit. Let’s share our stories to inspire our communities.

This year’s series includes a variety of events designed to share stories of our courage 和 resilience, starting with the writing campaign Challenge Overcome orchestrated by Sabrina Grammatic. The spirits of courage 和 resilience are also evident in the selections for the Arthur Nolletti, Jr. Film Series, 她说 和 直到. A life of searching for ways to sustain the environment through insects is described by Dr. Adrian Smith. The incredible life of Mary Miles Bibb (FSU’s first African American graduate) demonstrates resilience in its narrative. The poet Oliver de las Paz shares a journey of immigrants 和 life in the diaspora in his newest work, The Diaspora Sonnets. Diasporic artists Jasmine Chen, Saberah Malik, 和 Stephen Marc share their own experiences 和 how they express their emotions in their artworks. Literary scholar Tara Bynum invites us to consider how late eighteenth-century Black women remembered one another in the letters of Tanner 和 the enslaved Boston poet Phillis Wheatley. The collective struggles of incarcerated women in Turkey 和 the US are discussed by Emek Ergun 和 Sashi James.

In addition to directly addressing the theme of Courage + Resilience, events in this series also highlight other hard-won scholarships 和 artwork. The Mazmanian Gallery will feature Susan Metrican’s three-dimensional paintings integrated with images, 对象, 和 ideas 和 Lisa Iglesias’ drawings 和 paintings focusing on expansive histories 和 potential. The traveling artist group Big Ink will conduct a print workshop by bringing a giant mobile printing press to campus. A new publication released by Katherine Scheidler 和 the current artwork of Marcus Greene will be shared with the FSU community in the Linda Vaden-Goad Authors 和 Artists series.

Please join us for the series, 和 let’s share our courageous stories 和 resilient attitude with solidarity.
