More than Words

This week we meet Zane Hamm, Mpoe Mogale, and Morẹ́nikẹ́ Ọláòṣebìkan. Zane is an instructor from the UofA that spends a lot of time thinking about how images can be used as a way to share and explore people’s past, present, and future. Mpoe is a trained dancer and movement based artist who share with us how they use their body to challenge us through art. Morẹ́nikẹ́ is the founder of Ribbon Rouge Foundation. Ribbon Rouge Foundation uses art as a tool of positive social change for African, Caribbean, and Black individuals and communities impacted by HIV. Morẹ́nikẹ́ speaks to us not just about the power of story, but the also the power of listening.

What is HUM 101 on the air!?

Humanities 101, or HUM, or HUM 101, is a free, university-level non-credit course that challenges conventions of university learning by recognizing and valuing multiple ways of knowing and learning. HUM strives to make engaged learning as accessible as possible by eliminating financial barriers, and pushing against the situational and institutional barriers put in place to exclude many people from attending post-secondary.
