DO THE WORK WITH US!
It takes a village to raise a child. It takes an entire community to do this work. We invite you to use these resources to reflect, learn, read and listen. Solidarity Equity Education CT looks forward to having more fruitful conversations together as we all continue to DO THE WORK!

Current exhibits:
"I is For Indian: Native American Identity Stolen, Sold, & Reclaimed" presents visual and ideological representations of Native American peoples throughout the past century and explores the effects of such stereotypes. Images, artifacts, and harmful tropes on display demonstrate just how pervasive they have been in American popular culture. "I is for Indian: Native American Identity Stolen, Sold, & Reclaimed" allows visitors to reflect on this difficult history and ultimately proposes an alternative narrative of Native American self-expression and identity.
