Open Dialogue: On Historical Trauma with Britt Julious and Frank Waln

About

The MCA’s 2020 Dialogue Series asks, what does inheritance mean in the public sphere? Starting the series, journalist Britt Julious and Sicangu Lakota rapper Frank Waln lead an open conversation with audience participants on inherited trauma and how we can simultaneously look back while mindfully moving forward.


The Dialogue Series is a museum-wide commitment to sustained inquiry about museum practice, access, and inclusion. Each annual series includes eminent speakers presenting innovative work happening across disciplines, panel discussions, and opportunities for open dialogue between local arts professionals and audiences. Dialogue is organized by Curator January Parkos Arnall with the Performance and Public Practice team.
