Featured performers:

Marcie Rendon
Marcie Rendon, mother, grandmother and sometimes performance artist is an enrolled member of the White Earth Nation; a playwright, poet and writer. In stolen moments in the wee wee hours of the morning she mulls in her mind the stories that become her creative works. She is director and producer for Raving Native productions; theater that is NOT drums, feathers or flutes. In a recent site-specific performance she, with fellow poet Tom LaBlanc, are available as the Intuitive Poets - we will read your fortune and create a poem to carry with you - for, of course, a modest price.

Ifrah Mansour
Ifrah Mansour is a Somali multidisciplinary artist, interweaving text, movement, digital media and sound to explore and challenge the creation of semiotics in the "haves and have-nots" of the American societies. Off-stage, she enjoys teaching elderly East-African students, leading craft-circle program, tending to community gardens and is in training to be a bike mechanic. Recent works include: Ethnically Trendy, God! Make Me A Boy, The Blacker The Berry, Corn for Ayayo, Global Taxi Driver, and IM Series, Upcoming shows include Esug, The Blacker The Berry Series, How To Have Fun in a Civil War Interactive installation, IM Series, and Teachers' Wanted.
