There’s a richness when Black and Indigenous cultures meet. But there’s also some exclusion arising from outside expectations that someone needs to be one or the other. Artists who have a foot in more than one culture have a creative way of expressing that blended identity and the joys and drawbacks of a shared, but separate history. We’ll hear from artists who draw from two or more prominent cultural sources.
