Starting the fall season in a good way

Join Center CIRCL and community partners on September 17 and 18, 2025 for two days of activations for Indigenous presence and continuity in New York City. There will be film screenings, workshops, panels, and performances at NYU Washington Square Campus and other sites across the city. This event series also coincides with the fall equinox. The length of day and night are in balance in the days leading up to and after the autumnal equinox. 

These gatherings inaugurate Center CIRCL’s biennial theme: This City is So Indigenous. They are a chance for students, community members, artists and educators to meet again in New York City, starting a new season of study, research, struggle, and relation. Featuring autonomous sessions planned by different Indigenous groups and organizations, this two-day event will nourish the connections that will carry us through the months and years ahead. 

All events are free and open to the public. Registration for each event is required; spots are limited. Photo ID and registration for each event is required for access to NYU buildings. University professors are encouraged to assign undergraduate and graduate students in relevant coursework to register and attend.
