The Queens Museum event, with legal scholar and Human Rights and Gender Justice Clinic Co-Director Professor Cindy Soohoo and Deena Hadhoud of Malikah, organized by Alex Strada and Tali Keren, will discuss the inadequacies of legal protection for reproductive rights, the current threat to Roe v. Wade and what it would take for all people to experience reproductive justice.
A presentation by Professor Soohoo will be followed by a hands-on Self-defense workshop to provide women and gender-expansive people with skills to de-escalate violent situations and empower them to feel safe and secure. This program takes place within Strada and Keren’s participatory installation, Proposal for a 28th Amendment? Is it Possible to Amend an Unequal System?
The opening lecture is open to all participants. The self-defense workshop is for women and gender-expansive people and will center the experiences Black, Indigenous and People of Color.
