To live with DUELING IDENTITIES is to be an expert in code switching. We define code switching as the toning down, hiding, adjusting, or erasure of certain aspects of one’s personal identity in order to be accepted in different social settings. Code switching is very common. We often change how we behave or speak because what is deemed “appropriate” or “acceptable” often differs in our homes, communities, and the outside world. Frequent code switching commonly leads to feeling “not enough,” because we do not fully fit into the different spaces we often find ourselves in.

MOSAICS aims to answer the following questions: When do you engage in code switching? Who taught you how? And more importantly how does it make you feel?

A range of performing and visual artists will take us on their journey of code switching. Attendees will enjoy an hour-long performance, displayed art, engage in a Q&A session with participating artists, craft an item or two, and reflect on their own experience with code switching through interactive questions posted throughout the venue. This is a free-flowing event, children are welcomed, and seating is optional 🙂

  1. Hey excellent website! Does running a blog similar to this require a great deal of work?
    I’ve absolutely no knowledge of programming
    however I had been hoping to start my own blog in the near future.
    Anyways, should you have any recommendations or tips for new blog
    owners please share. I understand this is off subject however I just needed to ask.
    Thanks a lot!

  2. I don’t know whether it’s just me or if perhaps
    everybody else encountering problems with your website.
    It appears as if some of the text on your content are running off
    the screen. Can somebody else please comment and let me know if
    this is happening to them as well? This may be a issue with
    my internet browser because I’ve had this happen previously.
    Thanks
