~Re:Folk:Us - Who Am I? Life and Career: Luck is not a plan, it's luck

12-1PM, FRIDAY, OCT 14 - WELLNESS SUITE 1815, ON THE 18TH FLOOR

How do we manage our careers in a Post COVID-19 world? Has our vision changed, have our needs changed? What do we want? Do we even know? The question of "Who am I" is a question we continue to ask ourselves for as long as we are alive. In this group, we check in to see: where are you now?

 

~Re:Folk:Us - Social Change: Power + Opinion = Authority

1-2PM, FRIDAY, OCT 15 - WELLNESS SUITE 1815, ON THE 18TH FLOOR

We may understand entitlement, racism, sexism, as themes or concepts, but how do we unpack the way power and privilege integrate into the landscape of our lives?

~Re:Folk:Us - Artists and External Validation: Make a connection, not an impression

12-1PM, SATURDAY, OCT 15 - WELLNESS SUITE 1815, ON THE 18TH FLOOR

How do we create meaning, and where does this meaning come from? Who decides if we are enough? Who decides if we are good, right, true, and beautiful?

~Re:Folk:Us - Embracing the Complexities: Choice and agency

1-2PM, SATURDAY, OCT 15 - WELLNESS SUITE 1815, ON THE 18TH FLOOR

Diversity is complex. Artists have always been at the forefront of encouraging self-reflection around social change. How do we understand our part in this mosaic of life's great complexities?
