The Tunnel of Oppression, an interactive experience that examines contemporary issues, is scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 4, from 5 to 7 p.m. and Thursday, Nov. 5, from 5 to 7 p.m. in Tradition Hall at Coastal Carolina University. Admission is free and open to the public.

Tunnel of Oppression is a campus grassroots diversity program that originated in 1993 at Western Illinois University. Using the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles, Calif., as a model, the Tunnel gives people a hands-on way to experience oppression.

Tunnel of Oppression examines contemporary issues of race, class, domestic violence, religion, body image, gender identification, and discriminatory forms and processes. Participants are guided through a series of scenes that aim to educate and challenge them to think more deeply about these issues. At the end of the tour, there is a brief facilitated discussion, which provides participants with an opportunity to process the experience.

Tradition Hall is located at 3500 Elvington Loop on the Conway campus. The program is sponsored by the Office of Multicultural Services. For more information, contact the office at 843-349-2863.
