Purpose Productions Beyond Borders: An Inter-Indigenational Conversation
Sunday, October 31
3:00 – 5:00pm MST
- Pre-recorded and streamed
Join Kuliw Taljialan, Juanita Ingram, and Jean-Paul Weaver for an Inter-Indignational conversation that explores synchronicities between the Trans-Atlantic Black/Indigenous experience and the Austronesian Indigenous experience. We dig into delicious traditional indigenous Taiwanese foods and drinks, as well as, complex conversations about our identities. All in the beautiful setting of Formosan Sambar Cafe ( an Indigenous-owned cafe Hsinchu, Taiwan). This conversation was filmed as a part of Purpose Productions’ docu-series The Expats The International Ingrams (season two).
