Theme: Courage + Resilience 

Arts & Ideas is proud to present our 2023-2024 series – a year of must-see speakers, exhibitions, films, and workshops – exploring the theme of Courage + Resilience.

In the present day, we all confront pressure and obstacles as we struggle to do the right thing. With courage, we live our own truth and follow our ethics. With resilience, we fight for our rights to equity and justice along with access to healthcare, proper working conditions, and good relationships. We write our own stories of being courageous and overcoming our struggles with a resilient spirit. Let’s share our stories to inspire our communities.

The poet Oliver de las Paz shares a journey of immigrants and life in the diaspora in his newest work, The Diaspora Sonnets.
