<h3>Unable to attend in-person? <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtyHBeaNMJ0" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Stream the event online here.</a></h3>From The Anishinaabe Theater Exchange and Anita Gonzalez, co-founder of the Racial Justice Institute at Georgetown University.This work explores the ways Native American people have, and continue, to &quot;go missing&quot; both physically and through lack of representation in the United States. &quot;How We Go Missing&quot; is comprised of two works, one solo performance, and one ensemble performance. In the one-woman show, we follow Lucy (an incarcerated Native American woman on death row) as she seeks connection in her final moments. With a lot to get off of her chest in a short amount of time, she discusses topics from love to her identity. Boxed in by beliefs, society, and the self. Do we make these boxes, or do the boxes make us? The ensemble work, done via the Indigenous dramaturgical practice of story weaving, plays off these same themes. This piece examines the erasure of Native peoples and explores the stories of missing and murdered Indigenous relatives and the impact on those left behind.Recommended as a double bill with <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/314835209587" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Andares</a>.
