IN CONVERSATION: JEFFREY GIBSON, LAURA ORTMAN, EMILY JOHNSON, & RAVEN CHACON

  • Online, Facebook Live & Zoom (map)

The second live-streamed online conversation of the Jeffrey Gibson Screening Series features the artist in conversation with the three Indigenous creatives he collaborated with to activate his monument sculpture ‘Because Once You Enter My House It Becomes Our House:’ Laura Ortman, Emily Johnson, and Raven Chacon.

Of the three, Gibson said “I knew immediately that I wanted to work with Laura, Emily, and Raven on programming for ‘Because Once You Enter My House It Becomes Our House.” He continued “They are all established artists in their own right, and I have so much respect for how they each use process-based work to extend cultural philosophies in new ways.”

The discussion will be moderated by Socrates’ Curatorial Assistant, danilo machado and will include time for questions from the audience.

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.
