Everything to look forward to on 4/20, besides the obvious
It’s not just about the green
Spring Weekend is over, finals are in full swing, and it seems like Brown’s premiere week of partying and exciting activities is over. Fear not, there are plenty of events, highlighted by the “holiday” of 4/20 coming up on Wednesday.
Aside from the more obvious purpose of 4/20, we have a list of various events happening on campus that will be sure worth a visit. As the semester begins to dwindle down (we only have about three weeks until the start of finals period!), let’s take advantage of the nice weather and enjoy every minute of it.
IFF and Paramount Pictures present: ‘Everybody Wants Some!!’
Coming from the director of critically acclaimed film ‘Boyhood’ and ‘Dazed and Confused,’ Richard Linklater is back with another highly anticipated film, ‘Everybody Wants Some!!’.

The film will be screened at Avon Cinema on Thayer Street. Doors open at 6pm and the screening will start at 6:30pm. Check out the Facebook event for more details about the movie and the event.

The Archive of Gestures
Another event will be held at the Granoff Center presented by the Photographic Archives Research Group and the Pembroke Center at Brown.
The event will entail exhibitions and discussions featuring works of Farah Saleh (Palestine) and Arkadi Zaides (Israel), who are independent choreographers. Both Saleh and Zaides’ work is primarily focused on the exploration of using the body as a resource and means to display oppression and resistance. The event will showcase installations from the artists as they explore the use of the body as an archive.
