Motus Theater’s “There’s no THEM in U.S.” series is part of RedLine Contemporary Art Center’s 2024 annual exhibition Stories_UnderScored.
About Redline’s Stories_UnderScored, seeks to center stories that are widely known in the communities from which they come, and which are foundational to our collective memory. RedLine acknowledges that it is often stories and histories that are taught or published that dominate a collective understanding of the past to inform our understanding of the present and future. Stories_Underscored seeks to broaden this understanding by presentings a yearlong series of contemporary art exhibitions, programs, performances and events that tell stories less shared but are unequivocally central to our collective memory and histories. Stories_Underscored will present stories shared by artists and community partners, offering opportunities to explore the ancestries where these stories originate.
