Knowledge of Wounds
A ceremony, a digital fire, a calling to vibrate in good relations across Indigenous time and space. Curated and led by SJ Norman (Koori, Wiradjuri descent) and Joseph M. Pierce (Cherokee Nation), Knowledge of Wounds will unfold as a series of digital events throughout 2021, foregrounding Indigenous methodologies and leadership to create new spaces for knowledge exchange between First Nations communities across the world. It is one of the first programs of its kind to focus specifically on the intersections of Indigeneity, gender, sexuality, and the body. Centering Indigenous practices of care, sovereignty, and accessibility, the Knowledge of Wounds virtual platform will remain as an Indigenous-led and held archive, handing back centuries of archival and epistemological authority from settlers to Indigenous communities.
The structures and principles for these virtual gatherings are currently being developed, with individual events to be announced throughout the year as the program evolves. Learn more and sign up for the Knowledge of Wounds eNews HERE.
Knowledge of Wounds is supported by Performance Space New York (NY), Portland Institute for Contemporary Art (PDX), the Momentary (AR), Ballroom Marfa (TX), and Performance Space Sydney (NSW, Australia).
