Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

At least 300 participants will attend the total of four More Than A Single Story events, presented by 16+ IPOC writers and arts activists. At least 80% of audiences will report new or deeper understanding of issues with which indigenous communities and communities of color grapple in their lives, and in their writing. Quantitative: we will count attendance (free admission). Qualitative: we will survey all participating artists in post-event discussions, audience members through conversation and possibly short surveys, and venues/presenters to assess satisfaction with the format, content, and artists presented.

Measurable Outcome(s)

335 participants attended four More Than A Single Story events, presented by 24 artists of color and indigenous artists. 95% of audiences expressed deeper understanding of issues within IPOC communities, as experienced through these readings and community conversations.
