About Indigenous Voices

The Indigenous Voices Series was created in 2001 by Pangea World Theater to explore first nation issues. The series focuses not only on internal details but also the wider global and national contexts through multiple forums: performance art, theater, poetry, dialogues, seminars and formal and informal gatherings. In 2002, Pangea brought the series to Intermedia Arts. Since then, Pangea and Intermedia have been co-presenting national and international indigenous artists who raise issues that affect their community - issues of identity, rights, struggles, and experiences through the performing arts.

Previous artists have included Keo Woolford, multi-disciplinary born and raised in Hawai`i, Native Americans James Luna, Bently Spang, Marcus Amerman, and Cochise Anderson, Niuean-Samoan Dianna Fuemana, Native Canadian Margo Kane, and Tasmanian aboriginal Tammy Anderson. The series has included youth workshops, slams and a global indigenous summit featuring speakers from across the world.
