This Thursday, April 28 at 6:30 p.m. EDT at @triple_canopy in Manhattan, the writer Lou Cornum will speak with Raven Chacon, an artist and composer, and Audra Simpson, a political anthropologist, about how Indigenous people are restructuring the relationship between people and the planet. They’ll discuss how the relationship between Indigenous people and nature is often romanticized, reflecting a desire for authenticity that manifests in progressive protests against pipelines as well as in the claims of libertarian ranchers to “ancestral rights” over the land. Drawing on experiences of art as well as activism, Cornum, Chacon, and Simpson will ask how to imagine alternative forms of governance, whether through the speculative narratives of Indigenous Futurism or the protests that halt the world in order to enable the construction of a different one. Stopping Time is a free in-person event and will be livestreamed.
