Boise State University Cultural Center Presents Annual 'Tunnel of Oppression'

The Tunnel of Oppression will return to Boise State University for its third year at 10 a.m. Nov. 9 and Nov. 10 in the Student Union Hatch Ballroom.

The Tunnel is a visual, theatrical and interactive production that helps raise consciousness about various forms of oppression. Visitors pass through a series of dramatic vignettes and learn about the many forms of discrimination. This year's theme is "Question Everything," directed by Steven Wells of Boise State's Gateway Center.

After each presentation, participants will be able to discuss the program’s content in groups staffed by student leaders, administrators and counselors. The Cultural Center presents the tunnel to promote a campus wide commitment to challenging oppression and to help recognize people and organizations actively committed to social justice. Social justice organizations will be on hand to discuss ways to get involved with the community.

Participant sign-ups are available at http://culturalcenter.boisestate.edu.  For more information or to volunteer, call 426-4317.
