SUMMARY:Awi’nakola: Regenerating Land and Culture
DESCRIPTION:“Awi’nakola” (ah-weet-nah-kyo-lah) means “We are one with the land and the sea.” It is also the name for a foundation started by a group of Indigenous knowledge keepers\, scientists\, and artists working together to find effective responses to the climate crisis and to educate others through the process. \nJoin us for an introduction to Awi’nakola’s work in British Columbia from founder Rande Cook\, artist and hereditary chief of the Ma’amtagila First Nation\, followed by lunch and small-group conversation at which we will ask\, How does the notion of “regenerating land and culture” resonate in Chicago? To close\, Lindsay Delaronde (Kanienke’haka) will lead a social dance. \nThis program is part of the Awi’nakola artists’ week-long visit to Chicago to connect\, share ideas\, and plant seeds toward future collaborations. The Awi’nakola art team consists of artists Rande Cook (Ma’amtagila)\, Lindsay Delaronde (Kanienke’haka)\, Kelly Richardson\, and Paul Walde—all based on Vancouver Island\, British Columbia—and Chicago-based curator Stephanie Smith. \nCo-sponsored by the University of Chicago’s Gray Center for Arts and Inquiry; Office of the Provost; Department of Race\, Diaspora\, and Indigeneity; and Neubauer Collegium for Culture and Society; and by the Center for Native Futures. Additional support for the Awi’nakola artists’ visit is provided by the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and Watershed: Art + Ecology.

SUMMARY:Devouring Empires: Transmitting Sacrit Tongues
DESCRIPTION:TIES is excited to announce DEVOURING EMPIRES\, an evening of poetry by Demian DinéYazhi’ @heterogeneoushomosexual and Joss Barton @ganjacum_! Join us Thursday\, July 28 at 7 pm CDT for this virtual event hosted by TIES and @centernativefutures. Register for free at the link in our bio or bit.ly/devour7\n_______________\nDevouring Empires is a Trans\, Non-Binary\, and Queer futurist poetic offering and call for liberation through the endurance performance poetry of Indigenous Diné artist Demian DinéYazhi´(they/them) and Trans artist Joss Barton (she/her).\nDemian DinéYazhi´’s WE LEFT THEM NOTHING is an homage to 90s nihilistic pessimism written between 2018 and 2021. Their long form poetry is a testament to decay and destruction of colonial structures as a regenerative force necessary for rebirth\, transition\, and survival. Their performance is a ceremonial offering to sacrit Indigenous Land\, QTNB2S ancestors\, and the reclamation of suppressed power.\nJoss Barton’s poem The Wagons Ain’t Here Yet… is a collection of visions\, hallucinations\, dispatches\, and warnings from the fourth dimension. Written in 2017\, Wagons is a psychedelic diary of transsexual femme longing\, drugs\, sexual desires\, and ancestral possession. Mixing spoken word\, projection art\, and drag her stage performance is both a call to arms and a ts oracle prophecy for America.\nDevouring Empires seeks to hasten the destruction of global systems of power by liberating the untold and defiant stories of our resilience and survival as indigenous and transgender peoples through the powerful medium of physical and performance poetry\, drag artistry\, and sacred forms of queer prophecy and protest. for
