Featuring: BOBBY WILSON (Sisseton-Wahpeton Dakota and
Standing Rock Lakota). A young indigenous artist and youth care worker
living in the Wasicun city of Minneapolis. Bobby Wilson has been
actively involved in the art community since 1999 appearing in
anti-tobacco ads, visual art shows, musical venues, and indigenous
community events. He can also be seen frequently speaking to groups of
youth in schools and community centers or practicing for big shows at
open mics. Bobby Wilson's powerfully complex verbal imagery and hard
hitting delivery have made a favorite within the Minnesota scene
collaborating and performing with the likes of Bao Phi, Truth Maze,
Toki Wright, and many more. This Carol Connolly Reading is co-sponsored by Patrick's Cabaret.
