Bowling Green State University will host Ryan RedCorn, filmmaker, photographer, WGA screenwriter and graphic designer for the first “In the Round” Fall 2023 speaker series.
RedCorn’s presentation on Friday, Sept. 8, will include a film screening at 5 p.m. of “Dead Bird Hearts” followed by a public lecture at 5:30 p.m. Both sessions are open to the public and will be in the Thomas B. and Kathleen M. Donnell Theatre at the Wolfe Center for the Arts on BGSU’s campus.
RedCorn who was born in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, co-founded the Indigenous comedy troupe, the 1491s and started a full-service ad agency called Buffalo Nickel Creative, in Pawhuska, Oklahoma. He earned a Master of Fine Arts in screenwriting in the spring of 2020 and is currently a writer on the third season of FX’s television show, “Reservation Dogs.”
“In the Round” is a speaker series featuring Native American creatives and is an extension of the recently developed BGSU Land Acknowledgement, which provides a foundation upon which the university can build purposeful and sustained practices that seek to decolonize the institution.
