As part of the Georgia Humanities' “Ocmulgee Rising: A Celebration of Muscogee Creativity with Joy Harjo,” MGA will welcome the playwright, musician, 23rd U.S. poet laureate, and member of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation to its Macon Campus on Thursday, April 24 at 11 a.m.
Middle Georgia CEO highlighted the announcement on their website.
"'Ocmulgee Rising' is presented in partnership with Middle Georgia State University, the Ocmulgee Mounds Association, the Georgia Council for the Arts, and the National Humanities Center as part of the Being Human Festival (US). First launched in the United Kingdom, this nationwide festival features a series of community-driven events celebrating the role of the humanities in everyday life. This year’s festival will take place across 16 sites in 12 different states between April 12 and 28, 2025, exploring the theme of landmarks—the places and events that shape who we are and how we live."
