Performance with Khaled Jarrar.

‍

The performance features a conversation with three matriarchal species, likely representing ancestral wisdom, environmental connection, and nurturing. An olive tree in pain from snow, a woman grieving the lost her son, a back goat running to the mountains for her life. A matriarchal resilience, eco-colonialism, grief, and the struggle between life-giving forces and destructive patriarchal power. A black goat as anti colonial destructive machine.

With Kite (Oglála Lakȟóta), Cannupa Hanska Luger, and Rachel Martin, moderated by Candice Hopkins, this panel brings together Indigenous curators, artists, and collectors to discuss best practices for stewarding Indigenous art as collectors and collecting institutions. Centering Indigenous-led methodologies, the conversation will touch on research, relationship building, contracts, loaning and displaying Indigenous art.

The book launch of a new artist monograph by Vuslat, published by Distanz, centered on the concept of Emanet—a layered notion of trust, care, guardianship, and entrusted memory knowledge. Vuslat will be in conversation with Eric Shiner, President of Powerhouse Arts, for an evening exploring the ideas and processes behind the publication.
