DESCRIPTION:"Indigena as Scribe--The (W)rite to Remember" with Cherrie 
 Moraga\nThursday, April 12 at the Merrill Cultural Center, 7PM\n\nFor over 
 25 years, Cherrie Moraga has been dedicated to work centered on building 
 community amongst diverse peoples. Cherrie Moraga's plays and publications 
 have received national recognition, including a TCG Theatre Artist 
 Residency Grant in 1996, the NEA's Theatre Playwrights' Fellowship in 1993, 
 and two Fund for New American Plays Awards. She is the author of the now 
 classic Loving in the War Years: Lo Que Nunca Paso Por Sus Labios 
 (1983/2003) and The Last Generation (1993), published by South End Press of 
 Cambridge, MA. In 1997, she published a memoir on motherhood entitled 
 Waiting in the Wings: Portraits of a Queer Motherhood (Firebrand Books) and 
 has just completed a new memoir on her mother's passing from Alzheimer's in 
 2005 entitled Send Them Flying Home.\n\nAs a leading Chicana lesbian 
 writer, she has helped set the stage for generations of creative writers, 
 performers, scholars, and activists. To ensure connections with UCSC 
 undergraduate and graduate students, Moraga will lead a writing workshop 
 with graduate women of color and a dialogue with aspiring performance 
 artists and playwrights.\n\nSince Cherrie Moraga's work is read in 
 classrooms from LALS to Feminist Studies to Theatre Arts, we expect that 
 her visit will facilitate discussions amongst students, staff, faculty and 
 the broader community interested in drama, queer studies, and connections 
 amongst Chicana/o and Native peoples. The Chicano Latino Research Center in 
 collaboration with the Chicano Latino Resource Center will post a reading 
 list of Moraga's work and arrange spaces of discussion prior to her public 
 address.\n\nFor questions or concerns contact Susy Zepeda at
