TLI Presents: We The People—Humanity in Practice
with Brent Michael Davids, John Demos, Jennifer Kreisberg, Yo-Yo Ma, Chris Newell, Roger Paul, and Lauren Stevens
This gathering of musicians, storytellers, and historians asks how indigenous understandings of ecology, past, and present can help to situate the last 250 years in the context of the last 25,000 — and to reimagine the next 250. How does our perspective on the land and one another change when we center time differently? How can we put our humanity into practice to deepen our knowledge of our shared history and to understand ourselves as part of a much larger tapestry of meaning?
“This musical and spiritual gathering asks what it means to be human across the arc of history, and to experience what being one with time, nature, and one another feels like.” — Yo-Yo Ma
