Ken Tanabe kicked off his presentation Thursday by inspiring students with his story of Loving Day, a now-global celebration of interracial couples that began as his MFA thesis project during his studies at Parsons the New School for Design.
Loving Day celebrations mark the anniversary of the Loving Decision on or around June 12th; the project fights racial prejudice through education and builds multicultural communities. Loving Day has become the largest multiracial celebration throughout the United States.
Ken also presented some of the motion and time-based work he did for Imaginary Forces and Freestyle Collective and the motion work of his students.
