The House of
Privilege is an interactive experience that aims to illustrate the
existence of various types of social privileges and inequities that
exist in society. Adapted from the popular Tunnel of Oppression
program, the House focuses less on overt and extreme examples of
discrimination and more on the subtleties of power and privilege in an
effort to promote self-reflection and dialogue. Participants will
witness inequality and have a chance to look through the “Window of
Opportunity” in each room. These windows serve as a call to action by
providing resources for individuals to engage actively in dismantling
systems of privilege.
