Long Table Discussion Series

Co-hosted with Emily Johnson/Catalyst and The Ace Hotel

Let's create a just and equitable world. Let's spend some good time together doing so. Let's chew our words, share them, listen. Let's be ok when we don't know. Let's be supple and brave in our questions and our findings.

Umyuangvigkaq is a place to gather ideas. Here we will recognize and celebrate indigenous people, artists, art, methods, and audiences. We will stitch together a quilt of conversation, ideas, and fabrics. We will acknowledge indigeneity as we work to indigenize the performing arts world and the world at large.

Come with ready hearts. Come all day or for a stitch. Every 2 hours we’ll shift a conversation to a new critical topic engaging the intersections of the Indigenous with contemporary American culture. This durational sewing bee underpins a large-scale experiment in public engagement and sewing culminating in a 24-hour, outdoor performance event in 2017, Then a Cunning Voice and A Night We Spend Gazing at Stars, created by Emily Johnson/Catalyst.

Conversations will be led by thinkers and practitioners around topics such as:

11:30am - This is Lenapehoking:
Countering Perceived Invisibility
1:30pm - Indigenizing the Future: The Continuance of Aesthetic, Invention, Ceremony
3pm - My Dad Gives Blueberries to Caribou He Hunts: Indigenous Process and Research as Ceremony
4:30pm - Radical Love: Indigenous Artists and our Allies


Doors will open with a complimentary breakfast from 11:30-12pm

This Long Table Durational Sewing Bee is open to all indigenous people, artists, and allies. Don't know if you're an ally? Come discuss.
