Centering Indigenous Voices
Tuesday, February 23 | 10 - 11:30 am CT
Join this panel of artists and industry as we come together for a vibrant and heartfelt discussion on the need to center and amplify Indigenous voices in cultural spaces, the ways in which Indigenous culture-bearers are leading the movement for social change, and our relationship to the land. How can the community at large not only support and amplify, but actively work towards a centering of Indigenous worldviews in our lives?
