Say Their Names
Join Out of Hand and 7 Stages for Say Their Names. This work in development will be presented as part of 7 Stages’ Home Brew Series and is part of the First Voices Festival. Written by Marcie Rendon (citizen of the White Earth Nation), Say Their Names began as a spoken word piece about the estimated 4,754 missing and murdered Indigenous women across the United States and Canada. It has evolved into a multi-media theater presentation using poetry and prose to document and address the historical, societal invisibilization of Native women and children. Delving into the community concerns that led Native communities to begin a public outcry about the ever increasing numbers, it is written to move people to question and take action on behalf of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (#MMIW).
This presentation features interwoven film and live performances of the script. It will be followed by a community conversation about the lack of media representation for victims in all marginalized communities, and how we can create a collective framework for continued dialogue, healing, and action.
