On August 15, Vineyard Haven will be host to “Black & Indigenous Art Activism: A Discussion & Experience”, from 1 to 3 pm on Lagoon Pond Road, across from Chicken Alley. The event is a creative collaboration from Cheyenne Wyzzard-Jones of Spiritual is Political, Tracy Adams of Martha’s Vineyard Native Wampum, and Saskia VanJames of Massachusetts Recreational Consumer Council.

Spiritual is Political is a creative production company that believes in sharing the intersections and connection of storytelling, according to their website. Regarding the event, the website states, “This is why we brought a unique team together to discuss and showcase how our different paths in activism and art-making are similar within our differences. Our intention is to share with you our various projects through soul-provoking art, discussion, historical exploration, and storytelling that is typically overlooked.”
