Conversations In America:

2020 Vision - The Year We Saw Everything

The Women In The Arts and Media Coalition presented a virtual online production of Conversations in America: 2020 Vision - The Year We Saw Everything, a compilation of short pieces from members of our full and affiliate member organizations. During the early days of the pandemic, as we were all in hiding, so many new and old issues came out of hiding or were made visible in new ways. We requested submissions in 2021 on all kinds of Discrimination; movements including BLM, TimesUp, and MeToo; and the many divisions in the country. This event was the result.

Included are short plays and films, monologues, songs, and more. See the entire program on YouTube at this link.

McKnight, Amy Oestreicher, Harriet Reynolds, Stephanie Satie, Dana Schwartz, Germaine Shames, Deanne Stillman, Candece Tarpley, Towanda Underdue, and BC Voices.
