TODOS Productions, Business and Arts NL, and the Resource Centre for the Arts presents
- Confronting Unconscious Bias - with A Powell, Eldin Husic, Jude Benoit, Maria Dussan, Rachel Gilbert & Tara Nanayakkara
Business and Arts NL, TODOS Productions, and the Resource Centre for the Arts have partnered to bring “Unconscious Bias Moments: Art as a Tool for Confronting Unconscious Bias”.
Through a submission call, we have commissioned (A Powell, Eldin Husic, Jude Benoit, Maria Carolina Dussan Valbuena, Rachel Gilbert and Tara Nanayakkara) to write six monologues that will become three-minute videos sharing a personal perspective on unconscious bias. Each “Unconscious Bias Moment” video will be accompanied by provocations and calls to action, in order to guide a meaningful dialogue in response to each video. These 5-10 minute activities will allow workplace teams to touch upon this important topic in the same format as familiar “safety moments” or “values moments”. Writers have been working with Santiago Guzmán and Sobia Shaikh to develop these monologues, which will later be cast and directed by Guzmán in the summer of 2023.
