“Creating venues and spaces like this for Indigenous voices, BIPOC voices, it’s rare,” said Qacung, who's performing Tuesday. “One of the things that became very apparent with my peers in the industry is that we need to just create those spaces ourselves.”
Musicians from across Southeast Alaska will perform at the Alaska Folk Festival in Juneau this week. A Tuesday night event called “Unceded” will highlight artists of color.“This was really a brainchild from 2017 — my first Folk Fest,” Crouse said. “Being a brown kid from the Midwest in a very white area, I didn’t understand why we weren’t highlighting the Indigenous musicians that were here.”
“I think it’s something that people have been craving, they just didn’t verbalize it and start to put the movement into it,” she said.“There are so many different stages, there are so many side stages,” Devi said. “But often, I think that we are — not overtly — but we are encouraged to take up less space. And I want us to take up a whole lot of space.”
“We wanted to make that music available to anyone who wanted to participate and listen,” Crouse said.
