The performance was held at sunset in late May in the Franklin Murphy Sculpture Garden, renowned for sculptural works by over seventy men and a handful of artists of color and women artists. Fifty women dressed in white posed motionless on simple white pedestals as the sun went down. The soundtrack - women talking about experiences with racism - played from forty speakers in the surrounding trees. Precisely at dusk the sound track shifted to conversations about how to heal racist divides, and dark figures darted from the trees to cast black cloths over the white dresses of the women in the first tableau. The effect of this twilight maneuver was to quickly snuff out the remaining sunlight, held in place by the white costumes.

In the now dark garden the second tableau unfolded. One hundred and fifty women dressed in black wandered like shadows in small groups throughout the garden the only light coming from the flickering of their flashlights. Seated in their groups and joined by the fifty women on pedestals, they sat around “campfires” formed by flashlights and began unrehearsed conversation about contemporary racial issues in LA. The audience was given flashlights and 2000 of them rushed into the garden to join the conversations. The performance continued into the night as the groups stayed as long as they wanted.
