In partnership\, the Immigration Partnersh ip\, the City of Cambridge and Idea Exchange welcomes you to a night of di scussion about migration\, inclusion\, and identity as we observe Internat ional Migrants Day and wrap up a great month of film.
\nBetween: Living in the Hyphen\, Anne Marie Nakagawa's documentary film\, examines what it me ans to have a background of mixed ancestries that cannot be easily categor ized. By focusing on 7 Canadians who have one parent from a European backg round and one of a visible minority\, she attempts to get at the root of w hat it means to be multi-ethnic in a world that wants each person to fit i nto a single category.
\nFinding a satisfactory frame of reference i n our 'multicultural utopia' turns out to be more complex than one might t hink. \;Between: Living in the Hyphen \;offers a provocative glimp se of what the future holds: a departure from hyphenated names towards a c elebration of fluidity and being mixed.
