excellent screening of A Thin Wall plus discussion at RIT MOSAIC today – the kind that’s cozy, highly interactive, thought-provoking, beautifully diverse, and followed by delish desserts. there were students present but also members of the community who are involved in activism or work on cultural diversity. hey, i even met my next door neighbor who had turned up for the screening because his wife teaches at RIT. what always blows my mind are the young people though. such intelligence, yes, but also such sensitivity. the young women are particularly able to analyze, encapsulate, parse, connect, and articulate with a brilliance that is deeply satisfying and hopeful. i keep thinking to myself: if only they could lead, transform and shape our world. thank u Mimi Lee (APAA) for being such an accomplished organizer and community leader and thank u Stephanie Paredes for being the best moderator on the planet (and an avid Junot Díaz fan). some of my artwork from the series “this heirloom” will be on exhibit at RIT MOSAIC until the end of march. pls visit and enjoy at your leisure 🙂
