AA/AS Brown Bag Series
Friday, April 19, 2024 | 12pm to 1pm | Zoom Only
This presentation, based on 2023 ethnographic work as a Fullbright Scholar in Spain, focuses on the community-based organization, Valiente Bangla/Brave Bangla, based in Madrid, formed after a successful mobilization to stop the deportation of 34 Bangladeshi nationals in Cueta. Prof. Chaumtoli Huq will share some insights on how a relatively new migrant community, despite linguistic, cultural, and other socio-economic barriers, have been able to successfully win human rights for migrants.
The CUNY AAFF helps to promote the artistic visual talents and stimulate communication among CUNY students who are separated by the different campuses, and serve as a central location to display their creative works. Past participants have also had their films screened at the Asian American International Film Festival.
The AAPI 5K is a community run highlighting the vibrant Asian American community and organizations that work year-round to create a safe and welcoming space. Sign up to run or walk 5K to raise funds for AAARI towards our goal of $2,000 for programs.
