Mosaics II: Dueling Identities
7900 Paradise Valley Road, San Diego, 92139
Cost: Free
A range of performing and visual artists will take us on their journey of code switching. Attendees will enjoy an hour-long performance, displayed art, engage in a Q&A session with participating artists, craft an item or two, and reflect on their own experience with code switching through interactive questions posted throughout the venue.
We define code switching as the toning down, hiding, adjusting, or erasure of certain aspects of one’s personal identity in order to be accepted in different social settings. Code switching is very common. We often change how we behave or speak because what is deemed “appropriate” or “acceptable” often differs in our homes, communities, and the outside world. Parker Meridien will perform.
