Watch Vis a Vis: Native Tongues

VIS A VIS: NATIVE TONGUES brings together Aboriginal actress/playwright Ningali Lawford (Walmajarri), featured in the recent movie, Rabbit-Proof Fence, and American Indian solo performing artist James Luna (Luiseno). They are outstanding, outspoken performers who use humor and storytelling to examine the myths and stereotypes about native people in their own countries, but with very different approaches. While he tends to confront issues and audiences head on, she is more likely to embrace viewers and mediate between her world and theirs. As the program begins, James and Ningali have never met or seen each other's work.
