Periphery: Film Screening and Discussion

Join Faith and Spiritual Life in partnership with Queen's Hillel and the Yellow House for a screening of the film "Periphery" in the Queen's University International Centre, in Mitchell Hall. Following the film we will engage in a facilitated discussion led by Yoni Belete (ArtSci 16'), a Queen's alumnus and a co-founder of No Silence on Race.

This event is open to students and community members of all backgrounds interested in learning more about the experiences of Jewish people of colour in Canada, today.

"Periphery" is an evocative photographic and film project that bears witness to ethnic diversity in the Jewish community. Sharing narratives from individuals of multiracial and multiethnic backgrounds, Periphery creates space to look, listen, and learn from participants as they share their experiences and explore ideas of representation, intersectionality, ethnicity, race, and sexuality. Periphery also draws our attention inwards and invites us to examine how we foster and support a broader and richer view of the Jewish community.
