Radical Inclusion & Belonging – This event is for ALL, no prerequisites. We encourage you to come as you are and show up authentically. We’ve removed any barriers to participation and through the generosity of our partners and sponsors, we’re offering this event free of charge. We’re working to remove unconscious biases in all aspects of our logistics and programming. If there are aspects you’d like to contribute or make sure that we’re aware of, please send us a note at info@mosaicamerica.org and we’ll be sure to get back to you and address your concerns in the name of building a more fun and welcoming event.
Self-Expression – Art corners, photography corners, and programming for dance, chanting, and self-expression will be curated. Bust out your dance moves. Share your story. Radiate your good energy.
Respect – Communities are showing up to share precious pieces of their culture and heritage to create an environment of belonging, healing, and harmony. We ask that we respect each other’s self expression, mindful of our neighbors with whom we will be sharing space. As one of the first in-person events since the COVID-19 pandemic began, we ask that you engage in consent-based practices to ensure everyone’s comfort in this re-entry period. This includes asking for permission to take someone’s photo and engage in physical contact.
