Join us for three days of programming hosted by UNC’s Campus Y with New York-based Puerto Rican singer, filmmaker, and activist, Taína Asili. Asili’s Afro-Latin fusion sound of love and liberation has inspired audiences at venues across the globe – From the Women’s March on Washington to Carnegie Hall to the mainstage of San Francisco Pride. Her freedom anthems, music videos, and documentaries inspired by social movements for racial, gender, and climate justice have been lauded by the likes of Rolling Stone, Billboard, and NPR. Join us for three workshops and a performance, April 12-14, 2023.
April 12th – The Gender Justice Series – 5-7PM, Campus Y Anne Queen Lounge
Taína Asili is a queer artist with a long history of feminist activism which began during her early years in punk rock. She was later inspired by radical feminist professors as she worked towards a Bachelor’s degree in Women’s Studies from Binghamton University. In recent years she has supported gender justice organizations and initiatives with music, from The Women’s March on Washington, to the NYC Pride Rally and Human Rights Conference. In 2019 she wrote One Billion Rising’s anthem “We Are Rising,” which has been used for artist uprising around the world. This screening will look at five of Taína Asili’s videos addressing issues around gender justice, including several from the Resiliencia music video documentary series.
