Are you biracial or multiracial and 60+ years old?  Are you in (or have you been in) a significant interracial relationship that started pre-1967?  Are you a grandparent (60 plus years old) to multiracial grandkids?  We need your voices for a unique panel at the Festival on June 14.  Let’s have an inter-generational discussion about the long history of mixed roots.  Please email me asap at heidi(at)mixedremixed.org if you’re interested in participating or know someone who would be a perfect fit!–Heidi Durrow

Great New Exhibit at Japanese American National Museum

oomooHave you seen the OOMO Cube, a new installation in front of the Japanese American National Museum? If you haven’t you must! OOMO stands for ‘Out Of Many One’. OOMO is a new project going up across Los Angeles. The goal of OOMO is to remind everyone that they all belong to one world, one LA, and one humanity. Sounds like a Mixed Remixed principle! – Heidi Durrow

Mixed Remixed Festival to Honor Cheerios with Storyteller’s Prize

by

mx14_Cheerios-logoWe are thrilled to present Cheerios with a Storyteller’s Prize for its commercials celebrating the Mixed experience on June 14, 2014 at 6:30pm at the Japanese American National Museum.  Cheerios celebrated the Mixed experience in a heart-felt commercial in 2013 that featured a young biracial girl who asks her mother (who is white) about the heart-health of Cheerios.  When the ad sparked racist comments on You Tube, General Mills disabled the commenting function and staunchly stood by its casting for the ad.  In January, General Mills brought back the multiracial family in an ad that played during the Superbowl.  As Camille Gibson, vice president of marketing for Cheerios told CBS MoneyWatch: “We fell in love with this family.”   We are pleased that Camille Gibson and Douglas Martin will attend to receive the award on behalf of Cheerios.
