Art As Activism: How Indigenous Artists Use Their Mediums to Amplify Their Voices with Fawn Douglas

Fawn Douglas (Las Vegas Paiute Tribe) of Nuwu Art, a Las Vegas-based community hub where families, friends and allies gather to enjoy the cultural arts, will discuss how art can be a valid and powerful form of activism for bringing attention to Indigenous people and the issues that affect them today.
