Who Gets to Tell the Story? Why Indigenous Artists Belong at the Center of Indigenous Stories

Who Gets to Tell the Story? Why Indigenous Artists Belong at the Center of Indigenous Stories With The Thanksgiving Play director Vickie Ramirez Saturday, October 17 from 1-3 p.m. At Brick City Center for the Arts Does an Indigenous story require an Indigenous cast? Not necessarily, but Indigenous stories benefit from Indigenous artists at the center of the creative process. Vickie Ramirez explores what changes when Indigenous artists shape, direct, and interpret Indigenous stories, and why representation behind the scenes matters as much as representation onstage. Refreshments will be served. This event is free and open to all. Space is limited. RSVP by Friday, October 16.
