We live in our bodies. They enable us, constrain us, and sometimes define us.

ReconFIGUREd gives space to examine "the body" with a fresh eye and unveil the realities of what it means to live in and with these bodies.

The Trans Literacy Project
In Honor of Transgender Day of Visibility
Thursday, March 30, 2017
12:30–2 p.m.
Occidental Lounge, fifth floor, Student Center
The Trans Literacy Project is a video series created and produced by Honest Accomplice Theatre (HAT) to provide communities with an accessible education about Trans' experiences, from the perspective of trans people. Addressing topics such as pronoun usage, acceptable questions, and how to be an ally, the series is a valuable resource for trans people to both ease the burden of education, and create a space to explore issues facing the trans community. HAT surveyed hundreds of people to find the topics most trans people wanted to cover and to learn what our allies wanted to hear about.
Lunch will be served.
Open to all members of the Brooklyn College community with valid ID.
