The 3rd Annual What Are You? event<\/em><\/strong><\/a> packed the house in Brooklyn Historical Society\u2019s newly renovated Great Hall!<\/p>\n

This year’s discussion about mixed heritage had a thematic focus on art, media, and performance as avenues for engaging mixed-heritage identity and politics.<\/p>\n

Artist Chris Johnson<\/strong><\/a> explained the genesis of\u00a0Question Bridge: Black Males<\/em><\/strong><\/a>: what would it be like to listen in like a fly on the wall to conversations Black men are having with their peers? What conversations across age, class, and experience are not<\/em> happening that we wish would happen? What questions do Black men have for other Black men?<\/p>\n

Natasha Logan<\/strong>, a producer for Question Bridge: Black Male<\/em>s shared some incredible photographs from an exhibition she curated titled White Boys<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, highlighting the ways in which white male identity is neutralized or made invisible…<\/p>\n

…Many thanks to all of you who came and participated in conversations and shared your stories and questions with\u00a0Crossing Borders, Bridging Generations!<\/em>\u00a0And special thanks to\u00a0Steven Riley<\/strong>, Founder of\u00a0MixedRaceStudies.org<\/strong><\/a>, and\u00a0Kenda Danowski<\/strong>\u00a0from\u00a0SWIRL<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and founder of NAMSO<\/strong><\/a> (National Association for Mixed Student Organizations) for MC’ing!<\/p>\n
