State Rep. Robyn Porter at Friday's press conference. "Black and Brown people, what do we talk about?" she asked aloud Friday. "We lift as we climb. And we got a brother, Michael Jai White, who is doing that. This is his vision. From where he came from. He's coming back to his community and lifting as he climbs." Lucy Gellman Photos.

The poet Sun Queen sits on the steps of City Hall, dressed in white with pops of yellow at her crown and feet. The pages, drawn in electric blue lettering, flap in the wind. She begins to flip through them, revealing a deconstructed poem that is also a prayer.

Nicdaniel Charles drew a fleet of blue eighth notes on a makeshift music scale. In a glowing one-inch box beside him, Mia Rivera watched carefully. Her pink headphones glinted above her matching pink t-shirt. A few boxes away, Lysha Owuor tracked the notes one by one as they appeared. Charles looked away from the score and peered into the screen.

Alexis Robbins stands alone in the white-walled studio, feet spread apart. A window is propped open behind her, exposing the velvet blue of night. She places her right hand to her chest, fingers fanned out as far as they’ll go. She steps forward, an offering. Arms extend. They look as though they are holding a precious and delicate weight.

Two friends sit in the front seat of a car, thick streams of rain racing the windshield. One opens her hand and then clasps it, an invitation. Water gathers around the car, fog rolls in. They are not practicing social distancing, but this is also a world where COVID-19 does not exist.

Officer Angela Vey was making a new kind of house call. She leaned back on the couch and took in her surroundings. On her lap sat Ky, a six-year-old Maltese-Yorkie mix with big, wet eyes. Two girls in matching pajamas pressed into her sides. One of them played with the book on her lap.
