The Daily Bruin

Outdoor Rec (OREC) is offering an overnight snowshoe trip that will head to the Mountain View Shelter near Santiam Pass on Jan. 9-10.

This is a fantastic opportunity to spend time outside with others while learning about backcountry travel and camping in a winter environment. The best part is that we will have access to the shelter to stay warm and play games. 

The trip is open to students of all ability levels. The trip costs $40 and includes food, transportation and equipment rental. Sign up on IMLeagues.com or stop by the Hadlock Student Center for more information.

Questions? Contact Keith Schneider at kscheid@georgefox.edu or Rob Simpson at simposonr@georgefox.edu.

A new art exhibition, titled “Turnabout”, is coming to Minthorne Gallery! This exhibition, featuring work from Iranian artist Soheila Azadi, will begin with an artist talk at the Chehalem Art Center on Monday, Nov. 4, at 6 p.m., followed by a reception in the Minthorne Gallery at 7 p.m.

The exhibition will be available for viewing until Thursday, Dec. 5.

“Turnabout”, inspired by the artist’s experience growing up Muslim in Iran, aims to blur gender binaries. Azadi uses different media to challenge ways in which gender and religion intersect.

Azadi is an interdisciplinary visual artist, writer, educator, and a mother based in Portland and Iran. Her use of fabric in her works is deployed critically and sensually to amplify customs that serve to classify, separate, oppress, and potentially / unknowingly liberates those obfuscated by such a tradition.
