Harvester Arts is a nonprofit arts organization in Wichita, KS founded in 2013. Harvester Arts offers thoughtful, high quality visual arts programming that engages the community through critical dialogue and the creation of new work. Through our exhibition programming, discussion forums, and online presence Harvester aims to reinforce Wichita as an art destination on the national level and thereby enrich our local arts culture. As an independent space, Harvester has the freedom and flexibility to respond to current trends and react to timely events. Local creatives (Satellite Artists) access the Resident artist’s creative process and create new work in response via satellite exhibitions, essays and events.

What does it mean to keep a loved one’s story alive? 🎬♥️

KMUW’s Torin Andersen sat down with directors Anna Fitch and Banker White to discuss Yo (Love Is a Rebellious Bird), a moving documentary about the extraordinary bond between two friends across generations.

Through puppetry, memory, and a miniature recreation of Yo’s home, Anna finds a way to continue their relationship after loss—celebrating a life lived on her own terms and the enduring power of love and creativity.

October 15 – 7:00pm
✦ Watch Yo (Love Is a Rebellious Bird) at WSU Shocker Studios as the Spotlight Film premiering opening night of Tallgrass Film Festival!
