Adobo-Fish-Sauce
Young Boston migrant youth-leaders/poet-chefs will collaborate with Adobo-Fish-Sauce (AFS) and I Learn America to cook up stories -- poignant, provocative, but always flavorful -- that will help participants create art celebrating their cultural identity; share meals with cross-cultural dialogue; and engage family and communities to better understand their humanity, thus challenging racist stereotypes.
Nia Holley
Nia Holley's project will center curating and supporting spaces that allow for folx to ‘just be’ for a moment (or more). Nia imagines and affirms that racial justice is just that-- an allowance for us to be our full selves as living beings. It is clear that for over the last 500 years, specifically Black and Indigenous communities have yet to have the space in this world to just exist.
Fabiola Méndez
Fabiola Méndez's project "Negrura" is an audiovisual experience that aims to create spaces for conversations about colorism, anti-blackness, discrimination, and racism within our own Afro-Caribbean, Afro-Latinx community, by engaging with the Latin Quarter Cultural District in Jamaica Plain.
Husain Rizvi
Husain Rizvi's "Games for Justice" project aims to create an independent game development studio structure that centers economic democracy and transformative justice (rather than capitalism and oppressive mainstream game industry standards) by supporting young game designers of color in the Boston area.
UnBound Bodies Collective
Roots + Futures is UnBound Bodies’ three part exploration into QTBIPoC futurity, liberation, and active archiving. Living Altars, co-created with QTBIPoC Elders, layers landscapes with memories, sited throughout Boston where our Elders shaped their lives and our legacies.
