Join us to share and understand the experiences of others! Human Library events aim to break down stereotypes and preconceived notions humans have about others by having participants (called "Books") volunteer to tell their stories and other participants (called "Readers") have conversations with these Books. 'Books' are students, faculty, and staff who have volunteered to share their experiences centered around discrimination and/or want to break down barriers based on race, religion, sexual orientation, disability status, occupation, cultural background, age, gender orientation, ethnicity, social status, lifestyle choices, and other aspects of their life.
Drawn from a cache of personal videos from the past 22 years, the Sundance award-winning Matangi / Maya / M.I.A. is a startling profile of the critically acclaimed M.I.A., chronicling her remarkable journey from refugee to immigrant to global phenom. Matangi / Maya / M.I.A. provides unparalleled, intimate access to the artist in her battles with the music industry and mainstream media en route to becoming one of the most recognizable, outspoken, and provocative voices in music today. In English and Tamil with English subtitles. This film is part of the Movement: Asian/Pacific America film series, sponsored by the Asian Culture Center, Asian American Studies Program, Global Popular Music Mellon Platform, and IU Cinema.
