Overview

Join us for the next installment of a new project reinventing language around race through conversations and performances that explore, express and examine what it means when a social construct becomes the social order.

How I Got Over

This event is part of new project reinventing language around race through a series of conversations and performances that explore, express and examine what it means when a social construct becomes the social order. We want people to get personal. We want provocative dialogue. We want to generate new language to execute real change. We want to talk about fear – and how it’s different if you are black or white. We want to hear people explore racism.
