Ethan Hawke at OKPOP

Actor, writer, director, and storyteller Ethan Hawke sits down with OKPOP for a conversation about creativity, Oklahoma storytelling, and the importance of pursuing the work that lights you up.

 

In this interview, Hawke reflects on projects connected to Oklahoma and Tulsa’s creative landscape, including Reservation Dogs, The Lowdown, and Born to Be Blue, while exploring a larger idea at the heart of OKPOP: that museums, at their best, are not only places that preserve the past — they are places that spark creativity for the future. Through stories about acting, collaboration, artistic curiosity, and the lifelong practice of “doing what you love,” Hawke offers an inspiring reminder that creativity belongs to everyone. OKPOP’s mission is to inspire and empower new generations of artists, musicians, and storytellers by showcasing the legacy of Oklahomans and their influence on popular culture.
