Kinstillatory Action with Emily Johnson and Karyn Recollet

at Performance Space New York
150 1st Avenue, New York, NY 10009

This discussion with Emily Johnson (Yup’ik) and Karyn Recollet (Cree) expands on the process of their collaborative project Kinstillatory Mapping. Kinstillatory Action builds our relations at the center of a radical and (possibly) joyful corporeal–and otherwise–present.

Presented as part of Knowledge of Wounds, organized by S.J Norman and Joseph M. Pierce. For more information visit Performance Space New York.

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.
