Mark your calendars: Black Study Days is happening April 28–30 at Kaufman Hall, UCLA!

Join Whistle Space for a powerful three-day symposium centering Black arts, scholarship, embodiment, and resistance. Hosted in the Department of World Arts and Cultures/Dance and initiated by Associate Professor Will Rawls, Whistle Space is a platform for artistic and political research—part residency, part somatic nourishment.

Through conversations, workshops, and movement, we’ll explore the body as a site of knowledge, care, and power. This is a space for deep listening, radical imagination, and collective study.

When: April 28–30
Where: Kaufman Hall, UCLA
Free & open to UCLA graduate students
