Our project is to move gently across the land so that our senses are attuned to the heartbeat, spirit, breath, and movement of the land.

How can historical scholarship and artistic practice work in tandem to reenvision Native pasts and futures? revisit some of the foundational narratives of the so-called United States of America, centering Indigenous figures, events, and narratives that have been erased or denied as part of the settler-colonial project. https://www.larissavsnez.com/exhibitions daily 0.75 2024-07-19
