The welcoming performance at the Chicago Cultural Center will feature a discussion and grounding by Joseph Lefthand (Cheyenne-Arapaho, Taos, and Zuni tribes) followed by a performance. This opening program will examine cultural identities and resistance through song, dance, and performance.

Joseph Lefthand (Cheyenne-Arapaho, Taos, and Zuni tribes) [US Marine Corps veteran] is an artist, administrator, and cultural advocate based in Chicago. Lefthand works at the intersection of art and social practice, exploring embodied movement, “performance-as-theory,” and communal inquiry. Lefthand’s experience as a healer, advocate, investigator, and scholar informs his continual dialogue with the cultural and historical implications of war, militarism, violence, and resistance.
