Boundaries and Borders: More Than A Single Story: Transracial Adoptee Voices

As part of the Loft's Boundaries and Border Crossings theme, this More Than a Single Story discussion will explore the histories of transracial and transnational adoption in their communities, including the complexities of identity that are inherent in growing up transracially, the wisdom and unique perspective these experiences give to them and the power of story in forming their perspectives. During this discussion, the speakers will talk to one another as if no one is in the room, and participants will have an opportunity to listen to a conversation they may not hear otherwise. This Circle Within a Circle format will be facilitated by Rose McGee. Following the conversation, audience members will have an opportunity to respond and engage in conversation with one another to deepen their understanding of transracial adoptees and deconstruct the stories that are told around adoption. $10 ($5 members).
