BGSU In the Round speaker series to welcome musician, artist, illustrator and writer Arigon Starr

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – As part of its In the Round speaker series, Bowling Green State University will welcome Native American musician, artist, illustrator and writer Arigon Starr for a free talk and performance for all students, faculty, staff and the general public at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, March 21, in Bryan Recital Hall at the Moore Musical Arts Center.

A member of the Kickapoo Tribe of Oklahoma, Starr's career and accomplishments span multiple mediums, including music, plays, children’s book illustrations, graphic novels and comic books. Based in Los Angeles, Starr has released numerous albums, edited and illustrated comics, performed her music across the country and acted on stage and television.

Before becoming an artist, Starr grew up in a military family, living on or near Naval bases across the U.S. and as far away as Subic Bay, Philippines. During that time, Starr said her parents supported her artistic expressions, encouraging her to learn as much as possible about music, composition, art and drama.

The BGSU In the Round series seeks to raise awareness of the artistry, activism, and presence of contemporary Native American and Indigenous creatives.
