IDA aimed to bring new perspectives to this topic by focusing on different communities through the reflective lens of artistic query and interpretation.

The Nitery, Old Union

This mulit-sensory performance featured student works created in workshops led by IDA Artists in Residence: Aya DeLeon, Mildred Howard, Mark Izu and Brenda Wong Aoki. The show included music, monologue, spoken word and movement. It played to an overcrowded Nitery.

The 2000 Census has definitively claimed California as a state with a high index of ethnic diversity, with its populations of color and mixed race totaling 53.3%. Yet, within that reality, what are the relationships between different ethnic groups and space (at work, home, school or in social pursuits)? Have these relationships changed? How do they impact group identity and cultural development? Is space a limitation or ground fertile with possibility? At Stanford University, a unique collaboration between campus and community, The Institute for Diversity in the Arts (IDA), has and will continue to explore these questions through theory and practice of visual, performing and literary art.
