You’re invited to join us, Indigo Arts Alliance, and a very special panel of artists in a new conversation Seeking Resonance: Toward Being Future Beings. Looking toward the Maine development of Yup’ik artist and choreographer Emily Johnson’s new multidisciplinary project, “Being Future Being” – join us for a conversation that brings Maine-based artists Jason Brown (Penobscot), Donna Decontie (Penobscot) and Chris Newell (Passamaquoddy) into dialogue with Emily, her collaborator Drew Michael (Yup’ik and Inupiaq) and you.

Together, they share a conversation that spans fashion, dance, performance, music and visual arts, as they discuss their experiences as Indigenous artists making work today.

Free RSVP to receive the Zoom link to this conversation.

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.
