This panel will be an open dialogue as we discuss how Indigenous artists globally have documented their existence and resiliency through climates of lost funding and censorship. Featuring Candice Hopkins (Carcross/Tagish First Nation), Forge Project, Executive Director and Chief Curator, Dr. Shelly Lowe (Navajo) former Chairperson of the National Endowment for the Humanities, artist Cara Romero (Chemehuevi), Daisy Quezada Ureña (Mexican American), artist and Institute of American Indian Arts Academic Dean, and moderated by Andrea R. Hanley (Navajo Nation), NACF Director of Programming, the panel will dive into Indigenous narrative sovereignty, current and sustained precarity in arts funding, and cultural memory and repair through creativity and production. Together, let’s explore what we face in the current political climate and how we collectively design systems of support.
