Build And Reworld Now

A space for reworlding

Make, Rest & Reflect

Build And Reworld Now is our new land-based project focused on physical reclamation of land/space for Indigenous, Black, Latinx and other artists/activists/land defenders of color alongside restoration of Indigenous land and land stewardship.

Build And Reworld Now is a space for reworlding, a Queer, Indigenous-led project for making, skill share and rest, alongside public activations.

Build And Reworld Now will become 36 acres of protected forest and 6 acres rematriated from 35 years as a cow pasture to Native forest, pollinator,  medicine and food gardens.

Build and Reworld Now is guided by Indigenous land-defenders and arts workers and celebrated through public gatherings and performances on the land.


We are a Yup’ik and Bolivian family and we are on Haudenosaunee lands. At Build and Reworld Now we work to grow our relations and collaborate with diasporic and local Indigenous artists, organizers, and food justice warriors.

Emily Johnson / Catalyst is based on Mannahatta in Lenapehoking. We work to pay respect to Lenape homeland, people and ancestors past, present, and future by organizing with communities from the Lenape diaspora to build pathways for Lenapeyok return. We have been taught to name Lenape Nations and say cama’i to our relatives from Delaware Tribe of Indians in Bartlesville, OK; Delaware Nation of Oklahoma in Anadarko, OK; Stockbridge-Munsee and Mohican Community in Wisconsin; Moravian Delaware of the Thames in Ontario, Canada; Munsee-Delaware Nation at Munceytown in Ontario, Canada; Delaware of Six Nations in Ontario, Canada. 

We strive to be in good relations with our kin—human and more than human—and in effort to support growing kinstillatory relations and sovereign, liberated futures we are anti-colonial and abolitionist in all capacities. We are committed to on-the-ground water and land protection, consistent decolonization work, and Land Back. 

Quyanaqvaa-lli elpeni to all Sovereign Nations, Indigenous and First Nations people who live in relation to and from Lenapehoking and upon whose lands we work and tour.
