This summer, Project 2050 looks at duality, difference, division and the contradictions of living in the United States of America. As demographics and politics shift, youth find themselves caught between worlds: between childhood and adulthood, between racial and cultural identities, between gender and sexuality, between economic class realities, between geographic borders. DeConstructing Dualities explores the in-between spaces, the double consciousness, the border lands, and the liminal zones. In a world where dualities are often exploited, how do these identities divide or unite us? What happens at the intersection of class, race and gender? How do issues such as immigration and the increased patrolling of borders affect our families and communities? Through poetry, Hip Hop and theater, Project 2050 breaks down barriers to embrace multiplicity and celebrate versatility!
