DESCRIPTION:AFSSA will be tabling at this beautiful performance event with Austin Dance India! \nAustin Dance India\, under the artistic direction of Anuradha Naimpally\, proudly presents\, Breaking the Binary: Exploring Gender and Sexuality in Hindu Mythology.

Dancers include Purna Bajekal\, Soumya Nagesh\, and Austin Arts Hall of Famer\, Anuradha Naimpally with music that includes a track by Austin’s Eastern Soul singer\, Nagavalli. Multimedia images and spoken word bring the stories to life. \nAllow yourself to be transported into a world where each individual form actualizes their potential energy and power with no boundaries. \n*While not explicit in presentation\, this performance explores stories pertaining to gender and sexuality. Discretion is advised. \n  \nLink to event: Breaking the Binary: Exploring Gender and Sexuality in Hindu Mythology Tickets\, Sat\, Feb 18\, 2023 at 7:00 PM | Eventbrite

SUMMARY:Growing Love Event - Collaboration with Voices Against Violence
DESCRIPTION:Mark your calendars for Thursday\, Feb 23 for our event\, Growing Love. We often talk about what red flags to avoid\, but what does healthy love look like if we don’t define what love even is? \nAFSSA will lead a discussion pulling in teachings from All About Love by bell hooks to reflect on the definition of love\, the ingredients that make up love and how love is the opposite of abuse and neglect ? \nLove takes nurturing\, time\, hard work and attention – we’ll put what we learn into practice and plant our own seed paper. “Love is as love does…without justice there can be no love.” \nWho do you want to grow love with? Come in your own beautiful company or bring your friends or a loved one – we can’t wait to see you there! ? \nTime: Thursday\, Feb 23 @ 5-6:30 PM\nLocation: UT Austin SSB 1.106 (1st floor\, LWC Common Room)

The guest lecture will feature Dr. Guneeta Singh Bhalla\, the founder of The 1947 Partition Archive @1947partition along with Dr. Amritjit Singh and Neha Aziz\, and share more about peoples’ experiences during Partition and talk about the Archive’s first book. \nThe 1947 Partition Archive is a non-profit organization committed to preserving and institutionalizing the people’s history of the Partition. Their book will feature 400 curated stories. \nWe hope to see you there at the guest lecture on April 7!

SUMMARY:Pleasure Panel - AFSSA Facebook Live
DESCRIPTION:For this year’s #SexualViolenceAwarenessMonth\, we’re exploring the themes of pleasure–centering on joy as a part of our being\, resistance\, and solidarity. Join us on April 14 @ 2:30-4 PM CT for our Pleasure Panel as we discuss and reflect on how the anti-violence movement connects with pleasure ? \nPleasure is our birthright and we all are inherently worthy of it. Whether it’s about being in tune with our bodies\, dancing in our rooms to music\, masturbating or eating a meal slowly\, the pursuit of pleasure on a daily basis is a form of resistance. We need and deserve pleasure and our social structures must reflect this. \nWe hope to center conversations about the pleasure of those most impacted by oppression. \nWe will be going live on our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/AFSSAustin/ RSVP at our Facebook event page to stay updated: https://fb.me/e/490t2DVC5
