Presented by Mateo Manuel Vela and UMAS y MECHA

Join Mateo Manuel Vela and UMAS y MECHA for an interactive discussion about the history of CU Boulder social movements from the 1960s–1990s. The program and exhibition By Any Means We Deem Necessary: An Archival Exhibit of the 1994 Ethnic Studies Protests at CU Boulder feature archival sources and newspapers. Participants will be provided with guided questions, copies of these documents, and art supplies to interpret and engage with the history of the CU Ethnic Studies protests.

Afterwards participants are invited to join in an intergenerational dialogue about the links between CU Boulder BIPoC and Chicanx protest movements across time and how the social movements can be sustained at CU in a new political and economic moment. The panel will include former CU Boulder Alumni and participants in the 1994 Ethnic Studies protests. The discussion will be moderated by Vela and other UMAS y MECHA members.
