Women’s History Month celebrates the contributions women have made to the United States and recognizes the specific achievements women have made over the course of American history in a variety of fields.

Public Fresno State events include:

March 12: The campus and public are invited to a live script reading of excerpts from "Yo Te Esperaba: An Abolition Story" and a guided tour of the Fragments of Freedom Art Exhibition in the Pete E. Peters Ellipse Balcony in the Library. The performance reflects on the slow, often unseen labor of deportation defense work that thousands face and may include organizing, writing and fundraising, as well as the creative art process in conditions of uncertainty in Southwestern border states. RSVP here to attend this campus event.

The Fragments of Freedom Art Exhibition, sponsored by the Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies Department, is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. now through March 13. Photography and recording are not permitted due to the sensitive nature of the materials in this exhibition. Contact: Dr. Gloria Negrete-Lopez, negretelopez@csufresno.edu.

March 13: “Trifole” film screening, presented by CineCulture, at 5:15 p.m. in the Peters Educational Center Auditorium at the Student Recreation Center. Set against the earthly beauty of Piedmont’s autumn woods and the delirium of Alba’s centuries-old truffle fair, “Trifole,” by Italian Gabriele Fabbro, is a fantastical and profound adventure about family, tradition and finding one’s place in the world. Discussant: Dr. Andrea Polegato, associate professor of Italian studies. Contact: Dr. Mary Husain, mhusain@csufresno.edu.
