la vie est dans la rue

When I started teaching Persepolis, W was giving signs of invading Iran. Since then, there's never been a semester where it has not felt just as relevant and vital. Thank you, Marjane Satrapi.

A few shots from the Persepolis print we screened last year for Women’s History Month (a whole weekend of Strictly Brohibited programming). Revisiting this on the big screen with a more expanded worldview (after first seeing it in college), such a memorable and impactful experience. What a loss…
