Out North is honored and proud to present "Truths that Heat the Arctic: Performances that amplify alternative voices on identity, race, and society” as part of the Kennedy Center’s Arts Across America, a program in collaboration with Facebook that uplifts artists and showcases art from communities and regions across the country in this time of uncertainty. Artists M.C. MoHagani Magnetek and Jose Isaza/Josie Ana Poosiekat, will debut new performances that promise to be eye-opening, compelling and immersing. The segment will be hosted by Out North’s Board President, Indra Arriaga Delgado. Out North’s segment will stream live nationwide on August 14, 2020 at noon Alaska Time.
