The show uses \u201coral art\u201d with \u201clots of strategic lyricism, play on words,\u201d like \u201chip-hop without music,\u201d Demir said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I\u2019m trying to represent is domestic terrorism, police brutality and then some of the struggles we face as black folks and being biracial in African American communities,\u201d said Demir, adding that her main focus was for people to understand that \u201cwe are all human beings and we all have basic needs and basic wants.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The five-minute performance won cheering and applause.<\/p>\n<p>Tina-Marie Adams, 50,\u00a0 a communications consultant from Rogers Park, was not deterred by the bad weather and joined in the march with her two daughters and their friends.
