SEI Indigenous Visiting Artist Lecture Series featuring Sky Hopinka
at Washington Place Auditorium (Prov Wash, RISD), 20 Washington place, Providence.
hard to tell for certain whether this is only for RISD people or if it’s open to the public.
Sky Hopinka (Ho-Chunk Nation/Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians) was born and raised in Ferndale, Washington and spent a number of years in Palm Springs and Riverside, CA, Portland, OR, and Milwaukee, WI. In Portland, he studied and taught chinuk wawa, a language indigenous to the Lower Columbia River Basin. His video, photo, and text work centers around personal positions of Indigenous homeland and landscape–designs of language as containers of culture expressed through personal and non-fictional forms of media.
