The first film will be screened at 11 a.m. At 4 p.m. Joy Harjo, the 23rd Poet Laureate of the United States, will talk about art, poetry, history and storytelling. The gallery talk on March 22 and the films on March 23 are free and open to the public. Joy Harjo’s talk Sunday afternoon requires an advance ticket from the Crystal Bridges website.
