Us in the U.S. – We Was Here First
May 9 - May 11
We Were Here First is a thought-provoking theatrical experience that challenges historical misconceptions about race, identity, and heritage in America. The work is the latest manifestation of a project that Kristian Stovall presented at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts titled, The American Heiress: Revelations. The work delved into her journey of discovering that her colored ancestors were not all from Africa but were aboriginal to America. This exploration of identity, history, and cultural reclamation is also the foundation of Stovall’s work as the founder of The Foundation for American Indian Restoration and Education (FAIRE), an organization dedicated to uncovering and sharing the true heritage of Original Americans.
