Tangled Roots Multicultural Closing Reception

  • InterUrban ArtHouse 8001 Newton Street Overland Park, Kansas (map)

Tangled Roots is a multicultural artist collaboration, an organic and ever expanding cultural celebration of diversity and inclusion.  The exhibit creates space for  mutual appreciation and awareness of our individual and collective contributions to the human experience.  Tangled Roots is an intersection of art, culture, identity, activism, social justice and community. This year, we expand the scope of Tangled Roots, as well as our working definition of multiculturalism and community. 

The CLOSING reception is Friday, September 17th, 5-8pm.

The night will include a presentation to Jose Faus, recipient of the 2020/21 Community Artist of the Year award and will flow into a panel discussion at the close of the reception.

Immediately following the Tangled Roots closing reception (5-8), join a community discussion led by Jose Faus along with Maite Salazar, Phyllis Hernandez and Diosselyn Tot-Velasquez. The conversation will be the first of a series exploring the role of the arts as a form of organizing and community development and empowerment in the Latino community.

Due to current COVID 19 guidelines, masks will be required with no more than 50 people inside at a time. Drinks will be accessible in our outdoor, covered seating space.
