F163. The City as Indigenous Place: Beneath, Between, and Beyond the Urban in Native Art

Room 214B, Henry B. González Convention Center, Meeting Room Level
Friday, March 6, 2020
10:35 am to 11:50 am

 

For Indigenous people living in cities, urban life is layered, existing before and after, between and beyond, cognizant of and resisting, the colonial maps and settlerscapes of the metropolis. Mining municipal memory, womanist/queer/trans Indigenous Pacific, Native North American, and Palestinian writers, editors, publishers, and visual/sound/performance artists dismantle and reassemble the building blocks of burghal narratives as understood in the cities of Oceania, Palestine, and the Américas.
