What happens when Indigenous creatives are recognized in the mainstream?
Cynthia Lickers-Sage, community-building powerhouse and co-founder of the renowned ImagineNATIVE Film and Media Arts Festival, joins Matriarch Movement to share how a long-standing relationship to storytelling has helped create so many internationally recognized gatherings of Indigenous creators.
She discusses what it meant to see the first Indigenous film festival qualify a film for Oscar consideration, how fast an artist's life can change when they’re given opportunity, and how we pay it forward to the next generation. Plus she and Shayla can’t help but dig into the impact AI could have on Indigenous storytellers!
