Recent news:
I was recently awarded a 2023 Andy Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant for a new project on land art and settler colonialism.
In the spring of 2024 I contributed a catalogue text titled “TV for Earth, Wind, and Fire: Inuk Silis Høegh’s Media Sovereignty” in connection with Inuk Silis Høegh’s solo exhibition Arctic Vertigo at the IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts (MoCNA). The online exhibition catalogue can be downloaded here.
Later in 2024 I will join a research residency at the Luminary (St. Louis).
