American Ethnic is an original, collaborative work created and performed by nationally recognized spoken word artists Usman Ally, Idris Goodwin, and Kelly Zen-Yie Tsai. The piece combined hip-hop, spoken word, and theater aesthetics to examine the mass media’s role in perpetuating cultural norms surrounding race and gender. World Premiere!
