Olivia Evans and James Pakootas come on to the podcast to talk about their upcoming festival titled "The Root Experience".

The Root Experience is a 2-night festival featuring BIPOC talent from various cultures and disciplines. The festival celebrates regional filmmakers, artists, culture bearers, musicians, and the stories they weave through their art. The goal is to uplift their narratives of culture, family, beauty, and resilience to create a network that empowers living stories and heals elements of the past. When talking about indigenous cultures, we must recognize the borders (state & continental) that have been placed by the act of colonization. In doing so, people of the same/ similar cultures have had their homelands divided and people they love placed on opposite sides of these borders. The Root Experience is hoping to help erase these borders by decolonizing art and social practice, providing safe and inclusive spaces to present, while connecting, partnering, and sparking conversation with our communities in the Pacific Northwest (defined as Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Alaska, Alberta (CAN), and British Columbia (CAN)).

Immerse yourself in a Multicultural experience like you have never seen before! The Root Experience presents a tapestry of powerful artistic energies unveiled in a way that keeps our audience safe, engaged, and intimately connected through art without sacrificing their enjoyment.

Festival Dates:

August 26, 2023 / 5PM - 10PM / A Place of Truths Plaza & The Spokane Central Library / 906 W. Main Ave., Spokane, WA 99201

August 27, 2023 / 12PM - 9:30PM / The Magic Lantern Theater & Saranac Commons / 25 W. Main Ave. #125, Spokane, WA 99201
