The digital divide – the gap between those who do and do not have access to high-speed internet service, cell phones and computer technology – is long-standing and pronounced in Native and Indigenous communities, making it difficult for Native artists without access to share their work with the outside world.

Join two-spirit, disabled, Native artists Jen Deerinwater, Marcy Angeles, and Tony Enos in a conversation moderated by Rocío Aranda-Alvarado exploring the challenges faced by Native artists and communities with a lack of digital access. This session will also premier an original song, Others Like Me, written, recorded, and produced by the artists in preparation for this convening.

Featuring Marcy Angeles, Jen Deerinwater, and Tony Enos in a conversation moderated by Rocío Aranda-Alvarado, Program Officer, CFE, Ford Foundation
Welcoming remarks from Emil Kang, Program Director, Arts & Culture, The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation

This event is part of the larger Disability Futures virtual convening held July 19th-20th.
