La Salud Week of Cultural Resistance

Join La Salud in celebrating our annual Week of Cultural Resistance!!! (March 24th - March 27th)

Cultural Resistance is the practice of using cultural expressions like art, literature, and traditions to challenge dominant power structures, often in the face of oppression. 

During this week, we are excited to collaborate with student organizations to offer events and workshops to attend and learn more about topics related to cultural resistance and celebrating the importance of cultural tradition and community. At the end of this week, we will conclude with a closing ceremony which will include a panel, folklorico performance, and dinner!
