What happens when young people are repositioned as authors of culture rather than purveyors of entertainment? What is the impact on an individual and the collective when young people are engaged participants of the arts, activism and creative dissent? On Saturday, March 7th, WE SO BAY turns the spotlight to the next generation of modern day griots and cultural stewards for an afternoon of publicly engaged storytelling and performance art centering the voice and ideas of the next generation.
WE SO BAY examines what it is to live, love and survive in the Bay Area from the perspective of young people, whose lives and experiences are shaped by the communities they are brought up in: historically marginalized, often gentrified and always worth fighting for. WE SO BAY ponders the symbiotic relationship between culture and home, creating a larger than life installation that moves audience members from one side of the Bay to the next via Bay Area Rapit Transit.
Kicking off at Richmond BART and culminating at San Francisco's Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts, WE SO BAY is the supported by the mentorship work of renown culture bearers Brett Cook, Tongo Eisen Martin, Tomas Riley, brittani sensabaugh, EJ Walls, Mike Lee, "CiCi" Ciera-Jevae Gordon, and Gabe Cortez, under the direction of Sean San José.
