When is a time you felt like you were doing something wrong just by being you? Intermission Director Jade Thacker sits down with NY based artists Maya Ciarrocchi and Kris Grey to discuss their creative collaboration as Gender/Power, the inherent tension between evocative DEIB (diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging) initiatives + our risk averse society, the cognitive and physical benefits of an embodied learning process, and the ongoing transience of the human experience for all.

Check out this trailer to get a sense of how we're exploring the innovative ways that socially engaged art can revolutionize the way we approach diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace. Discover how emotional intelligence, psychological safety, and social justice can be nurtured through art-infused DEI strategies with your hosts Jade and Gaby, the founders of INTERMISSION.

Why is it that traditional DEI programs are so painstakingly ineffective, and often harmful to employees? Join us for this week’s episode of Intermission Conversations as we speak with artist Bayeté Ross Smith about his unique approach to DEI through multimedia storytelling that creates nuanced conversations about identity and its impact on our lived experiences.
