Kuffiya Kite Club: Flying As Resistance
December 14 @ 2:30 pm
Event location: Meet at Tava Quad on the Colorado College campus (14. E Cache La Poudre St, north of Armstrong Hall)
Join us for the Kuffiya Kite Club, a workshop where we’ll build kites from simple materials and explore the interplay of wind, chance, and balance as we take to the skies. This practice honors the resilience and creativity of the children of Gaza, who set the world record for the most kites flown simultaneously on July 30, 2010, with 7,202 kites soaring along the beaches. Together, we explore embodied practices of resistance. Free and open to the public.
Organized by Colorado College AIMES, History Department, Arts & Crafts, and the Fine Arts Center. Sponsored by the Colorado College Cultural Attractions Fund, Office of the Dean of the Faculty, History Department, and NEH Professorship.
