In-Dialogue Series

presented by the #notwhite collective with City of Asylum

Artists and arts administrators crossing boundaries and borders, working to decolonize the arts sector one coversation at a time

The #notwhite collective in-Dialogue series features candid conversations with local and national BIPOC, AALANA, indigenous and immigrant artists and arts administrators from Pittsburgh and beyond, who are crossing boundaries and borders, working to decolonize the arts sector one conversation at a time.

The series reimagines the past and present history of the arts sector by engaging and presenting the wealth of experience, strategies, and tactics of the global majority, notwhite descendants, inheritors of colonialism, indigenous and immigrants who navigate a predominantly white arts sector. Our series goal is to celebrate and recognize arts and cultural workers, especially those who tend to be under the radar and forgotten about. Speakers represent the Greater Western Pennsylvania region as well as National Leaders in the Arts. Thanks to our Funder and Partner The Arts and Equity Reimagined Fund, and City of Asylum Pittsburgh.
