Mulatto Math is a funny, tender, heartwarming one woman show about a mixed race girl’s journey into herself. She explores all aspects of the race conversation that you’ve questioned yourself but have been too afraid to speak out loud about. Come experience the bravery, vulnerability, hilarity, ignorance and ridiculousness that is race in America.

“We are ecstatic to honor David Oyelowo,” says Festival Founder and Executive Director Heidi Durrow who calls herself an Afro-Viking because she is African-American and Danish. “We applaud the work Mr. Oyelowo has done as an artist-activist committed to social justice and for bringing heart to stories about racial and cultural connectedness in films such as A United Kingdom and Selma among others. His openness about talking about interracial families will help so many young people who are mixed and have struggled to find a place in the world, to find strength in their difference, and most importantly to connect their own struggles with the struggle for justice for all.”
Do you remember when you first started thinking about the mixed experience? Was it because of a certain moment or event?
There were so many wonderful films that we wanted to share with you at the Festival but because of our limited programming time we were not able to.

What are you?
Being surrounded by many cultures was the norm but also a very confusing experience. It was hard to find my voice because I never felt I was enough — never Chinese, native, or Dutch-Indonesian enough. Because I never felt like I belonged to any community, I sought to learn the stories of my heritage and connect them together to rediscover my own. The first mediums I felt gave me a voice was music and film.
