The Unspoken Sermon: Identity, Art, and the Non-Urban Landscape
What does it mean to "be yourself" when the environment around you wasn't built with your identity in mind?
In collaboration with UPlift Black, Talk Is Free Theatre presents an evocative panel discussion exploring the intersection of racialized identity and creative practice in non-urban Canada. Inspired by the themes of institutional navigation and personal truth in The Sermon, this conversation brings together three visionary racialized artists living and working within Simcoe County.
Led by Shelly-Ann Skinner, President and Founder of UPlift Black, the panel will pull back the curtain on the "unspoken" realities of the rural creative life. From the pressure of being a "pioneer" voice to the profound joy of building community from the ground up, our panelists will discuss how they navigate, challenge, and ultimately reshape the non-urban landscape through their art.
Join us for an honest, unfiltered exploration of what it takes to not just survive, but to create and thrive in the spaces in between.ral.
