WHAT PEOPLE Wrote
A Secret Journey
Your history together brought us to many unknown lands. You left us feeling we witnessed a secret journey. Cats. Ships passing. String. Sisters. Everyone who has peopled this room. Honoring every moment together. Honoring space. Figurative and literal. Timing of join-ups. Use of room. Start > Finish. Complete.
A Miracle in Nature
"Puzzle-like configurations of two bodies coming together. One body moving another, yet not mechanic, but purely organic. Felt like watching a miracle in nature that happened once in a hundred years; like a waterfall full of glowing stars."
an umbilical cord betweeN
"It was beautiful—a cascading shifting relationship with each other and the space that wasn't quite human, in a world where there wasn't quite verticality. But y'all also managed to be firmly connected—an umbilical cord between you. Thank you for your clarity and simplicity of structure; all felt helpful in these dark days. "

MIXED!: Stories from Mixed Race Californians
(Cue to: 45:15 to see MLD)
November 9, 2023
Identity is always complicated — and for multiracial folks who straddle many identities, it can be isolating. It can also be invigorating and rich to belong to multiple communities and celebrate that complexity.
The hosts of KQED’s series MIXED! bring that celebration of the wide-ranging experiences of mixed Californians to the stage for a fusion of live conversation and documentary with W. Kamau Bell and Melissa Hudson Bell, live multimedia storytelling by Cheyenne Bearfoot, food by Chef Nelson German of Sobre Mesa, a performance from Megan Lowe Dances, and more.
