baba by marcus d. harvey is an autobiographical solo performance piece about the search for father(hood) and identity in a world where growing up black, male, and without a father is a hindrance. An emotional journey using music, movement, multi-media and text to explore ideas of the self and searching for love, manhood, and blackness.
One Journey by Yadira DeLa Riva is a woman's coming of age story through fences, concrete, citizenship papeles,
immigration policies and booby traps of the El Paso, Texas and Ciudad Juarez border between the United States and
Mexico. Through this Journey she attempts to stitch the border wound of her identity, family and community back
together.
