Comments:
Artemisia produces plays that empower women, creating career-altering opportunities for ALL women theatre artists of all racial and ethnic backgrounds; sexual orientations and identities; economic status; ages and disabilities. We make women heroes of their own lives by sharing their stories and amplifying their voices. We invite anyone and everyone who wants to empower women to join us as artists and audience. Artemisia aims to be at the forefront of the fight for women and their allies through outstanding performances that push the envelope. From world premieres to the virtual stage, our mission is and will always be to better our world for everyone. We strive to be a social justice theatre, committing to anti-sexist and anti-racist practices in our work. We are grateful for the anti-racist training received from ArtEquity funded by the Gaylord & Dorothy Donnelley Foundation and EnrichChicago funded by The Richard H. Driehaus Foundation. Our work to dismantle racist and sexist practices in theatre is ongoing as we continue to use our collective talents and voices to promote hope, healing and empowerment. We acknowledge that the land on which we create art was stewarded by the Ho-Chunk, Kickapoo, Miami, Peoria and Potawatomi People. We respectfully recognize that we occupy land that was taken by force from its owners. Today, Chicago has the third-largest population of urban Native Americans in the United States, with approximately 175 tribes represented. Source material from the American Library Association.
