WRC Brown Bag Features Program Bringing Together Palestinian, Israeli Women

The UNM Women’s Resource Center hosts Creativity for Peace in a brown bag presentation, on Wednesday, Nov. 18, noon-1 p.m. at the Student Union Building, Santa Ana rooms.

Creativity for Peace, a summer camp outside Santa Fe, has helped 146 young women from Palestine and Israel transform suspicion, fear and hatred into understanding and friendship. Dottie Indyke, executive director, will speak about how these young women rise above prejudice and violence to influence their families, communities and countries.

Previously, Indyke was a journalist and art critic for publications such as ARTnews and Southwest Art, vice president of programming for the National Cable Television Association and co-founder of the Peabody Award-winning Children’s Radio Theater.

The event is cosponsored by UNM Women Studies and the Feminist Research Institute.
