BOOK REVIEW: BREAKING PROTOCOL
C MAGAZINE
SPRING 2024, ISSUE 157
“As a series of exchanges, Breaking Protocol is a cohesive, visually stunning, compelling and thought-provoking text. The pages are filled with collective approaches to protocol-bending practices rooted in Indigenous knowledges that demand sovereignty and critical accountability from the settler nation state. While these conversations came together during 2020–2023, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the text pushes beyond the confines of linear time and weaves together non-Eurocentric worldviews, ultimately creating space for future generations of Indigenous artists to shake things up even further.”
