Luis Mejía, Toshiki Yashiro and Yuta Kanai, students at the SMFA, participated in a collaborative performance with the Berklee Interdisciplinary Arts Institute and Mike Ladd—MC, producer, poet and educator—held at the National Center for Afro-American Artists on November 14, 2012. Students and Ladd engaged in discourse on using music or sound design to create a new cutting-edge work based on his latest project, Satchmokovich, a forthcoming graphic novel. Mejía, Yashiro and Kanai, who are part of the BIAI, produced a live video remix of the comic for the piece.
