The Root Experience
2023-08-26 17:30 - 2023-08-27 22:00 | A Place of Truths Plaza, 901 W Spokane Falls Blvd, Spokane, Washington, 99201, United States
The Root Experience is a 2-night festival centering BIPOC talent from various cultures and artistic disciplines.

Our festival features BIPOC creatives at the center of art, music, and film. This type of platform does not currently exist in Spokane, and that’s more than a shame – it’s unacceptable. The Root Experience celebrates regional filmmakers, artists, dancers, culture bearers, musicians, and the intergenerational stories they weave through their art. The goal is to uplift their narratives of culture, family, beauty, and resilience to create a network that empowers living stories and heals elements of the past.
