BLACKLIST ME
EXHIBITION
As Native peoples, music permeates our lives in various and diverse ways. It may manifest in traditional songs, soundtracks to personal histories, memory, acts of love, resistance, poetics. In “BLACKLIST ME” (Academy of American Poets), which this exhibition draws its title from, poet Kinsale Drake (Diné) writes about destroying and re-centering the canon, penning love poems to Native rock icon Buffy Sainte-Marie, and working against erasure through mechanisms of joy and community.

but when you come from water
EXHIBITION
A rallying cry of Indigenous Peoples, and a plain and simple fact. But what exactly does it mean to come from water? In her poem Atlas, where this exhibition draws its title from, Terisa Siagatonu ponders the realities of being from Sāmoa, an island in the South Pacific, very often overlooked on maps, and that is victim to colonization, tourism, and American military imperialism. For Siagatonu, water is the place she is from, in part because it threatens to overtake what little land makes up Sāmoa, but also because the ocean’s vastness is easier to see than the island.
