Seminar 6: Indigenous Cultural Revitalization: Rematriation and Preservation
May 1, 2023
6:00–7:30pm ET
Online
Convened with Borderlands Curatorial Fellow Larissa Nez (Diné), the last seminar of the first year of Correction* considers rematriation and the preservation of Indigenous culture, art, and land. With an emphasis on culture as a living process that incorporates both continuity and change, this seminar explores the ways Indigenous people from, and living in, the New York region are working across social and political landscapes to revitalize traditional practices, language usage, and artistic experimentation.
Speakers are Jeremy Dennis, a photographer, founder and president of Ma’s House, and member of the Shinnecock Indian Nation in Southampton, NY; Indigenous rights activist contemporary mixed media artist Leonard Harmon, a citizen of the Lenape Tribe of New Jersey and the Nanticoke Tribe of Delaware; and Sutton King, MPH, Nāēqtaw-Pianakiw (“comes first woman”), an Afro-Indigenous descendent of the Menominee and Oneida Nations of Wisconsin and Co-Founder of Urban Indigenous Collective.
A series of twelve seminars, Correction* is structured as an open curriculum and presented from September 2022 through May 2024. Led by Vera List Center faculty and staff, each monthly seminar in this two-year series explores the perils and potentials of the political, social, and metaphorical implications of “correction.” Bridging theory and practice, Correction* unfolds through three distinct research clusters every semester set to guide our joint investigation into Restitution, the Body, and Carcerality. It is presented as part of the Barbara Jordan Lectures: The State of Democracy series.
