Due to scheduling conflicts, we’re moving our Capitalism and Patriarchy event. The event will be held on Friday, June 1.
Seeing the Strings presents:
Capitalism and Patriarchy
Friday, June 1
SFU Harbour Centre room 1400.
By donation, no one turned away for lack of funds
Join us for presentations and a workshop exploring:
How is sexism fundamental to capitalism?
How does violence against women and gender-nonconforming people support capitalism?
How does defining our own relationship to gender undermine capitalism?
