Dialects of the Heart

April 6–May 6, 2007
Corazón del Pueblo
4814 International Blvd.
Oakland
Reception with Spoken Word 6pm- 9pm on April 6

We each speak our own particular dialect in the expression of art, as well as through the paths we come from and the ones we choose to traverse. As a collective, we are using these dialects to construct bridges between us, by connecting and manifesting a passage of communication to understand one another innately. In Dialects of the Heart, the Cohort comes together in celebration and illumination of our discourse, as we continue to work to make our vocabulary whole. As we have all given a window of ourselves for you to look within, we hope you will come open as we welcome you into our co-heart.

Dialects of the Heart is an exhibition examining cultural identities using diverse perspectives and aesthetics; posing provocative questions concerning time, place, and identity. This exhibition has been created and curated by the Center Student Cohort.

The Center is facilitating the Student Cohort, funded by the James Irvine Foundation. CCA is committed to increased diversity within the student body population. In support of this, the Center Student Cohort is comprised of historically underserved student groups, specifically African American, Latina/o, Native American, and Pacific Islander. Areas of focus include academic and professional achievement, leadership development and financial assistance.
