MECA holds second Resilience Week to promote social change The Portland art college has organized nine events, beginning Monday, including a film screening and a walking tour. Share Maine College of Art will host its second Resilience Week beginning Monday, dedicated to the school’s mission of racial, sexual and gender inclusivity. “Through Resilience Week’s programming, we provide a network of support for those committed to fostering change here at MECA,” said Margaret Brownlee, the college’s officer of diversity, equity and inclusion. “By organizing these workshops and events, we encourage students, faculty, staff, and community members to engage in conversation about global diversity, racial justice, and inclusion. Our goal is to carve out space where Black, Indigenous, people of color don’t just survive — they thrive.”
