We've gotten off to a slow start this semester, but you can expect that LASO will be cramming in it's usual sponsored events, including parties, lectures/discussions, films, conferences and theater performances.
Religion and Culture in Latin America
At the beginning of November we are planning to coordinate two events dealing with religion and culture in Latin America. The first event, happening on November 1 in Olin 102 at 7pm, will be a discussion/slide presentation by Hector Delgado, a photographer. He will be giving a talk on his work dealing with Santería, a sincretic Afro-Caribbean religion. The second event will occur the night of November 2 in the Campus Center Lounge. We are setting up an altar in the tradition of the Mexican Day of the Dead (El día de los muertos) to commemorate victims of the tragedy on September 11. This is an opportunity for all bard students to come together and share any feelings they might have surrounding this event as well as to commemorate the loss of loved ones. Please bring poems, artwork, mementos, anything you would like to decorate the altar. Refreshments will be provided.
