Resistance In Color, Part 6: “Artist of Colour, You Are the Act of Resistance” (Mai Moua Thao)

Mental Health In Minnesota

Mai Moua Thao is an artist passionate about filmmaking as a digital art form to imagine and create a world unlike the one we live in. She speaks on her art as a double hit on aesthetic and importantly as social commentary. She shares her artistic journey as resistance to gatekeepers in creating space to highlight voices not often heard, bodies not often showcased and stories that need to be told louder and in greater numbers.
