In our Fellow Spotlight series, we share excerpts from our interview with 2020 MacArthur Fellow Larissa FastHorse and learn more about her work creating space for Indigenous artists, stories, and experiences in mainstream theater and countering misrepresentation of Native American perspectives in broader society.
Larissa FastHorse is a playwright and performing arts advocate illuminating Indigenous processes of artmaking and storytelling as well as Native American perspectives on contemporary life.
The MacArthur Fellowship is a $800,000, no-strings-attached grant for individuals who have shown exceptional creativity in their work and the promise to do more.
