The One Truthiness { Oakland : 1 } — HOME

When you meet someone, how do you evaluate whether they are safe or threatening? Who gets a nod of recognition? Who triggers your putting up your guard? In America, White people infamously find Black people threatening. And Black people find White people threatening. Where are the risks? What have we learned from our ancestors? How do our split-second habits shape other people’s lives?

A full-color edition of the entire text plus photographs of the painting as it develops throughout the performance.
