Join us at Angels Gate Cultural Center (AGCC) on Saturday, December 13th at 2pm for a free play reading and workshop with San Pedro-raised poet, playwright, and professor Carolyn Dunn. Expanding upon the topics and themes explored in our current exhibition Sustainers of Life, this event aims to call attention to the ongoing MMIW crisis while providing an avenue for community healing and connection. A staged reading of Dunn’s one-act play, How We Go Missing, will be followed by a healing-centered writing workshop for the Indigenous community. The staged reading will be open to the general public and held in Building H at 2pm, followed by a limited capacity creative writing workshop centered on Native healing and hope, to conclude by 5pm. RSVP is required with registration available online: HowWeGoMissing.eventbrite.com How We Go Missing is Carolyn Dunn’s award winning one-act play, read at AGCC by professional actors to bring to life the stories of five women from different tribes as they experience grief, loss, and the impact of the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women/Girls/2S/Relatives (MMIW) crisis. Sustainers of Life, co-curated by Cecelia Caro and Laurie Steelink, features seven artists exploring intersectional themes through installation, poetry, sculpture, photography, illustration, and painting. Sustainers of Life will be on view in the gallery through January 24th, 2026 with free public visiting hours Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, from 10am to 5pm. Sustainers of Life and exhibition programming are funded in part by the Arts in California Parks local parks grant program, administered by Parks California. Image: Deer Woman by Honokee Dunn-Anderson
