Cross-cultural audiences will experience deeper understanding of issues facing IPOC communities through conversations with IPOC artists around their writing. Writers will generate broader recognition for their work and see themselves as cultural messengers by engaging with audiences as discussion leaders. Evaluation methods will include notes taken during audience/panel discussions, short written surveys by audiences, and wrap-up conversations with artists to assess satisfaction with settings and process. Results will be used to inform design of future events, selection of venues, and interest in topics to be presented in the future.
A total of 325 people attended 3 presentations featuring 15 BIPOC artists plus moderators, and including writing workshops for community-based writers who wanted to explore these issues through their own writing. Community conversations following each presentation actively engage 100% of audience members and broadened understanding of issues facing BIPOC artists and their communities.
