ishkwe-ayi’ii, 2020

Jul 18, 2020
7-7:30PM
Performance

Let’s poke fun at ourselves and make light of a truly dark subject, the end of humanity—especially while staying at home during a pandemic. Perhaps this is a moment where we can reconsider how to do better for the planet. Indigenous people have always been the land and water protectors, yet colonization has attempted to diminish their numbers with the intent to destroy through cultural genocide. Part installation and part live performance, ishkwe-ayi’ii looks at the global climate crisis through an Indigenous lens and offers the question: is the apocalypse coming for humanity if we don’t fix this soon?
