Thangs Taken
Sunday November 18, 2007
$10-$25 sliding scale - 7pm
Thangs Taken rethinking thanksgiving
an annual cultural event that brings artists, activists, and communities together to explore the complex history of Thanksgiving and to acknowledge the legacy of US colonialism and genocide against Native Americans. Produced by luckeylyric productions and the Free Land Project, Thangs Taken features live music, dance, film, spoken word poetry, hip hop theater, and visual art installations from Native and non-Native artists. Grounded in grassroots activism, Thangs Taken also features leaders from local social and environmental justice organizations to provide information on current campaigns and concrete ways to take creative community action. With the arts at the center, people from diverse backgrounds gather to engage in a critical dialogue about the impact of Thanksgiving and to stand in our collective power to create a world based in peace and justice for which we can truly be thankful.
This year's Thangs Taken rethinking thanksgiving features excerpts from Ariel Luckey's solo hip hop theater show FREE LAND, live music from Ras K'Dee and One Struggle, the film Shellmound with director Andres Cediel and Bay Native Circle host Lakota Harden.
