Stay Home and Stay Healthy
The Evergreen Art Lecture Series Continues on Wednesday February 10th 2021 with Gilda Sheppard: a documentary filmmaker and a member of the faculty at Evergreen. Her documentaries include stories of resilience of Liberian women and children refugees in Ghana; three generations of Black families in an urban neighborhood; and a film ethnography of stories from folklore started by Zora Neale Hurston in Alabama’s AfricaTown. Sheppard’s recent book is titled “Culturally Relevant Arts Education for Social Justice: A Way Out of No Way.” Sheppard is a volunteer teacher in prisons.
She will be speaking on her film “Since I Been Down,” her documentary on education, organizing, and healing developed and led by incarcerated women and men in Washington State’s prisons. This talk is a collaboration between the Art Lecture Series and the Reimagining Community Safety Series.
The Evergreen Art Lecture Series is free and open to the public.
