Community members are invited to participate in the design and construction of this dwelling. AMARA TABOR-SMITH and CRISTAL BROWN, of URBAN BUSH WOMEN will perform a new dance, "ENDURING PROCESS" expressing the devastation and transformation of internalized oppression. DAN WOLF and TOMMY SHEPHERD, members of the award winning Hip Hop Collective FELONIOUS: onelovehiphop, present various beats and rhymes from their upcoming play, Stateless, which combines hip hop music and vaudeville with German and Jewish history.

Other DJS include Q-ZEN and, SAMARA HALPERIN; ZACCHO DANCE YOUTH GROUP will feature 5 young aerial dancers ages 10 and 13, set to Nino Rota's rich score La Strada: Suite.
