About
Since race, gender, and class are fundamental components of contemporary society, and with San Francisco’s diverse racial constituency, Show Some Color is a series of video projects intended to explore, through female perspectives, how American citizens in San Francisco represent and define themselves racially. Post-9/11, with the Patriot Act, and increased racial profiling, and the Jena-6 protests, America is at a stage where race is an increasingly more sensitive topic that most prefer to remain silent on, yet it is intrinsic to individuals living in America. The distinctiveness of racial differences is concealed by over simplified views or the so-called “political correctness” that homogenizes and marginalizes mainstream discourse.
