Virtual Artist Talk: Mi’jan Celie Tho-Biaz

Thursday March 2, 2 pm CST

Mi’jan Celie Tho-Biaz, Ed.D. is a Kennedy Center Citizen Artist, oral historian and storyteller who shares narratives of personal transformation and community change. She works with communities across the themes of sovereignty, transformation, liberation, healing and love.  Mi’Jan curated and hosted Unfinished Network’s first 2022 public salon on the theme of multiracial democracy, with CNN’s Van Jones and MSNBC’s Maria Teresa Kumar; designed and led the Gloria Steinem Initiative’s public policy digital storytelling pilot at Smith College; served as a New Mexico Humanities Council Scholar; and has held various Visiting Scholar and faculty appointments at Columbia University, New York University, and The Banff Centre in Canada. One of Mi'Jan's greatest joys is connecting to audiences through her visionary, story-rich talks at a range of institutions, from Carnegie Hall to the Institute of American Indian Arts to SXSW. Her goal? To make the historical contemporary and personal, while surfacing the marginalized stories that need to be heard.
