Umoja House 30th Anniversary: Honor Walk & Block Party
Thirty years ago, 16 students championed together to create a space at Lehigh University that promotes cultural awareness, visibility, and community outreach for all its residents. As the years progressed, the Umoja House has stood the test of time through many trials and triumphs remaining as an edifice that continues to promote unity by upholding the values of Black and Latinx cultures.
On Thursday, October 24th, we’ll join together to honor the founders of the house, who through grit and resilience, shared a vision for a deeper exploration of multiculturalism and diversity. Beginning from the house’s original location - Warren Square A to its current location, The Hill - we will journey together with human storytellers that will recall the journey to the creation of the house. The walk will then commence with an 80’s/90’s block- party.
Afterward, join us for a fun-filled adventure with food trucks, a caricature artist, music, and free food!
To register, sign up via go.lehigh.edu/UmojaHonorWalk.

5x10: Be Your Own Artivism
Be Your Own asks participants to visualize through art-making their cultural, spiritual, emotional, or physical relationship with gender. Facilitators will help participants think about how they see their genders and provide samples and guidance in creating art.
What is it?
Opportunity for campus community members to take action on social issues from a personal and cultural level.
RECLAIM: Show others what one of our themes looks like or means to you. Define yourself!
HEAL: Allow art - sculpture, drawing, painting, writing, composing - to help you move through something you or loved ones have experienced.
TRANSFORM: Make visible the future of our community by viewing the art at our exhibit.
How will this happen?
CREATE: Use our materials (bring your own, if you'd like) to create your representation of this year's themes. Use any medium that speaks to you!
REFLECT: Write up a brief artist's statement after finishing your piece. Facilitators will guide participants through a reflection process to create a statement that focuses on process and context.
ACT: Bring friends to the exhibit and develop dialogue as you see your artwork in conversation with the other pieces of art.
