Rag Head
2:30 PM – 4:00 PM
This live performance explores Sikhs and xenophobia in a post 9/11 America. Inspired by actual events, Sundeep Morrison’s one woman show, RAG HEAD, addresses hate, hope and American identity.
On August 5, 2012, a white supremacist entered a Gurdwara in Oak Creek, Wisconsin and murdered six people. Sundeep Morrison’s portrays six inextricably linked characters whose lives are forever changed by one desperate action.
Since 9/11, there has been an alarming increase in hate crimes committed against Sikhs, Muslims and other immigrant communities. According to the Sikh Coalition, there are roughly 500,000 Sikhs in the U.S. many of whom have been subject to xenophobic harassment or violence.
