Words and music can be transformative, as they have the power to shape how people see, and are seen, in society. Two-time Grammy-winning musician and co-founding member of Living Colour Will Calhoun, along with acclaimed poets and performers Danez Smith, Monica Sok and Julian Talamantez Brolaski, aim to break boundaries, erase stereotypes and express painful histories and contemporary injustices with an evening of poetry and music at the Montalvo Arts Center’s Carriage House. From the intergenerational trauma of surviving the Khmer Rouge regime to issues of indigeneity, resistance, two-spirit, trans and mixed-race identity, the performances promise to be powerfully authentic and diverse.
