Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Pangea will continue to redefine and include aesthetics practices that emerge from multiple cultural aesthetics. We will present at least one indigenous artist as part of our Indigenous Voices Series, four playwrights of color as part of Alternate Visions and produce works in our Mainstage that speak across ethnic and cultural differences to discover common visions and values. 2: Pangea will foster dialogue and create large-scale performance events with the immigrant community on Lake Street as part of our HypheNATIONS: Immigration Matters series. Through the performances, installations, film, forums, dialogues, workshops and panels associated with HypheNATIONS, we will foster a safe space for local Latino/a and Somali community members and support their individual as well as artistic growth in the greater Twin Cities community.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Pangea continued to redefine and include aesthetic practices that emerged from multiple cultural aesthetics. As part of our Indigenous Voices, Pangea presented more than ten native artists in Artifact Traffic, produced the works of four local artists in Alternate Visions and our mainstage included multiple artists of color. Pangea fostered dialogue and created large-scale performance events with the immigrant community on Lake Street as part of our HypheNATIONS: Immigration Matters series. Through HypheNATIONS, we brought 250 local Latino/a and Somali community members together to view performances by artists from both communities and participate in gatherings and dialogues. We created a theater institute.
