Sacred, environmentally sensitive lands
As many of you have probably heard by now the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida, in alliance with environmental groups, took legal action to halt the operation of the immigration detention facility known as "Alligator Alcatraz" in the Everglades. The Miccosukee villages situated just miles from the facility, joined a federal lawsuit arguing that the center was built on sacred, environmentally sensitive wetlands without a proper environmental impact study. As of last week the federal judge overseeing this case has ordered all operations to wind down indefinitely by late October, and the removal of all temporary structures and fencing. Incredible to see this win happening amidst all kinds of ecological insanity, like rescinding the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule that protects millions of acres of national forestland from road construction and logging. We must stay on top of these short sighted developments and pull out all the stops with creative responses. What can we do as artists/scientists/advocates to respond to these situations? This month we will start a new series of online dialogues to explore how a movement of Indigenizing dominiant culture can
encourage a greater balance between humans and the more-than-human
world. Our first gathering titled Re-Kinning will present the work of two non-Indigenous artist/members who are making work that recontextualizes their family histories, and an Indigenous member who will respond as a culture bearer, and discuss her practice working with natural materials. see below As we get closer to delivering Soils Turn to the printer, we will be reaching out this month to the artists included for confirmations. Plans are in motion to launch the book in October at Printed Matter in Chelsea, New York City. An email will be sent out soon with more details. The list of over 175 artists/scientists included in Soils Turn below FOCUS ON WHAT YOU CAN CONTROL / BE COMPASSIONATE / DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR HELP Patricia Watts, founder/curator

My
work investigates the sonic legacies of the Americas as a means to
repair, reclaim, and reimagine temporalities of healing, while telling
stories across time and space. I also gaze at the night sky, the way my
ancestors did, to inquire about how to make sense of this world and
ultimately connect with them and their enduring capacity to survive in
us. In
reconstructing ancient sound instruments, I discover a language encoded
within sound, preserving knowledge hidden in plain sight. koyoltzintli.com |
