Continuum: Indigiqueer
This event has passed
Location: New York, NY | Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art, 26 Wooster Street
EVENT DETAILS
Join us for a special evening of discussion, performance, and vendors in celebration of Indigiqueer legacies, futurity, and poetic liberation. Together, we trace the relations of Two Spirit, Queer and Trans Indigenous artmaking and visual, sonic, and poetic inheritance, both embodied and disembodied through past, present, and future.
5PM: Showcasing artists, makers, and grassroots groups, we invite you to shop local with Relative Arts, Kris Waymeir, Paiyute Made, NshTsh, and Brooklyn Warmi, and view work from the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art’s permanent collection!
6:30PM: We gather for a dialogue with artists, luminaries, and worldbuilders, Sarah Biscarra Dilley (yaktitʸutitʸu yaktiłhini), Demian Dine’Yazhi, Joseph M. Pierce (Cherokee Nation citizen), and Kali Spitzer, to discuss: how visual, sonic, and poetic inheritance become embodied artistic engagement? How 2S, queer and trans Indigenous legacies catalyze current artistic interrogation of the long-known heteropatriarchy, capitalism, ableism, and BIPOC oppression that accompanies colonial systems? How artmaking and creative praxis build an unapologetic, Indigiqueer world for our descendents?
8PM: We end the evening with a sonic celebration led by Afro-Indigenous creator and Brooklyn DJ Roselle, inviting attendees to experience, gather, listen and move through the resiliency of vibrant sounds.
