@SkatingPolly “I think this is the perfect place to be in a tumultuous moment in our culture...This is a moment that demands our participation – as audiences, as artists, and as citizens.” - @kputnam #sundance
@SkatingPolly @KPutnam “You know how art that conveys deeper truths and shines a light on varied, human experiences can open our minds, and help us all to be bolder, more connected, and more imaginative ourselves. That’s what we mean by the theme of this year’s festival: #ImaginedFutures.” - @kputnam
