ONE NIGHT STAND A BLUE MOON STUDY BY O-DIE OCTOBER 31 @ 7PM ET Created by LIM Puppetry by MARTE EKHOUGEN A BLUE MOON STUDY BY O-DIE OCTOBER 31 @ 7PM ET THE TEAM Created by LIM Puppetry by MARTE EKHOUGEN LIM WOULD LIKE TO THANK B Paul. Ars Nova operates on the unceded land of the Lenape peoples on the island of Manhahtaan (Mannahatta) in Lenapehoking, the Lenape Homeland. We acknowledge the brutal history of this stolen land and the displacement and dispossession of its Indigenous people. We also acknowledge that after there were stolen lands, there were stolen people. We honor the generations of displaced and enslaved people that built, and continue to build, the country that we occupy today. We gathered together in virtual space to watch this performance. We encourage you to consider the legacies of colonization embedded within the technology and structures we use and to acknowledge its disproportionate impact on communities of color and Indigenous peoples worldwide. We invite you to join us in acknowledging all of this as well as our shared responsibility: to consider our way forward in reconciliation, decolonization, anti-racism and allyship. We commit ourselves to the daily practice of pursuing this work.
