On Saturday, Switchyard Park served as the venue for the city of Bloomington’s annual Black y Brown Arts Festival. It’s described on the city of Bloomington’s website as “a celebration and showcase of African, African-American, Hispanic, Latinx, and Native American creative arts and artists…”
The quote in the headline is from a spoken-word performance delivered by PDVNCH, which he crafted for the occasion of this year’s festival. The two stages—one outside and the other inside the pavilion—also featured music and dance.
