This event features celebrated diverse talents from Northern California also integrating the audience through observation, call and response and post-performance dialogue. We focus on work that is culturally relevant, speaks of diversity, empowers its audience through social justice, and/or embraces multiculturalism embracing their intercultural pride and love.
