"At the opening show, the San Diego New Verbal Workshop performed a new commission by Elana Mann and Sharon Chohi Kim that began and ended with the choir singing a repetition of the phrase ‘one day / some day.’ I found this so personally moving. I read it as a lament for the equality, liberation, peace and justice that have not yet fully arrived, and as an affirmation of this horizon. We’re living through truly an unprecedented time - and my wish is that even on a micro level, this exhibition fuels a sense of hope and perseverance." Ceci Moss
