How Do We Dance With Legacy?

from Zócalo Public Square · host Zócalo Public Square

Amid great technological, political, and cultural shifts, who choreographs the great dance of America? Which tales have we inherited, which will we pass down, and what will future generations do with them? And, as this series aims to answer: What can become of us? A panel moderated by IAJS faculty director Tomás Jiménez, and featuring author, poet, and social entrepreneur Ahmed Badr; writer, filmmaker, and powwow dancer Julian Brave NoiseCat; and population geneticist and science journalist Janina Jeff Ringo explores how the stories we tell shape our perspectives on movement and migration, and the legacy of America. This program is inspired by "Durga’s Daughters," an original performance created and directed by Indian American Bharatanatyam choreographer and dancer Mythili Prakash.
