UNCOMMON GROUND: BIPOC Journeys to Creative Activism
What does it take to develop and sustain a career in creative arts. Twenty-two San Francisco Bay Area writers and artists of color trace their journeys as creative activists. They draw from legacies and challenges of roots in Native America, Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, and the Muslim world. Their lived experience as creative changemakers brings authencity and humanity to today’s pressing issues—from the pandemic to racism, immigration, social justice, gender, LGBTQ issues, healing, and community building. They create not just for themselves but to inspire others to help build a just and compassionate society.
