The Harvard Human Rights Working Group is hosting a Uyghur culture fest and call to action together with members of Boston’s Uyghur community on Monday, December 6 from 6:00-7:15 pm, featuring Uyghur music, food, and art. This event will include opportunities to learn Uyghur calligraphy and dance, to hear a reading from a Uyghur poet, and to learn about the language and history of the Uyghur people. Speakers will share their own families’ experiences in the Uyghur genocide and provide information about ways to support Uyghur freedom. Registration is encouraged but not required; RSVP here.

It is important to us that everyone feels comfortable attending this event; to that end, nobody at this event will be photographed without their prior permission.
