President Trump, the Dakota Access Pipeline, and missing and murdered Indigenous women are among the high-profile topics that help frame authenticity, activism and appropriation in a new art project in Santa Fe. Organizers for Project Indigene say they’re fighting appropriation and cultural theft that threaten Indigenous art. The project weaves together several works—painting, sculpture, photography and performance—at eight separate art institutions. We’ll talk with the artists about how their work helps to strengthen awareness of Native identity.
Guests:
Susan Hudson (Diné) – contemporary ledger art quilter and activist
Cannupa Hanska Luger (Mandan/Hidatsa/Arikara/Lakota) multimedia artist
Frank Buffalo Hyde (Onondaga Nation – Beaver Clan) contemporary artist and writer
