  • Nov. 11: Sangre Mía opening reception, 6:00-9:00 p.m. at Material Gallery, 2970 S. West Temple, South Salt Lake. "This textile-based exhibition about reclaimed ancestry, cultural assimilation, and identity features the serape and text art of Kelly Tapìa-Chuning and the pictorial beadwork of Bianca Velasquez. Material will host an opening reception from 6:00-9:00 p.m. with an artist talk at 5:30 p.m., moderated by Roxanne Gray of 801 Salon.

Larissa FastHorse, the playwright behind The Thanksgiving Play being produced locally by Wasatch Theatre Co. and SLC Theatre Co-Op.

  • Nov. 11 & Dec. 2-4: The Thanksgiving Play, presented by Wasatch Theatre Co. at SLC Theatre Co-Op and Regent Street Black Box at The Eccles Theatre. "The Thanksgiving Play chronicles a group of four actors trying to produce a historical Thanksgiving play for elementary students. The problem? All four actors identify as White, and they can’t find an Indigenous actor to support cultural competency. The results are a satirical look at our woke culture and our efforts at culturally relevant work that bypasses some of the individuals who ought to be at the table in the creating process."
