I integrate fine art and social justice as a long-form photo documentarian, writer, podcaster and public speaker. Seven years ago, I sold everything, packed my bags and hit the open American road to begin @project_562 , a Kickstarter- funded mission to visit, engage, and photograph over 500 Native American Tribal Nations in the United States to eradicate the archaic, insidious, racist invisibility of Native Americans. The project has been in pursuit of one goal, to “change the way we see Native America”. Since 2012, I’ve touched down in 50 states, traveled hundreds of thousands of miles - by horseback through the Grand Canyon, by train, plane and boat, but mostly in my faithful Rv, the Big Girl. I’ve made kin so many tribal nations, from Inupiaqs in Alaska, to O’odham in Arizona, Tongva’s in Los Angeles, Osage’s in Oklahoma and so on. During my takeover at Design Sponge I’ll be sharing some of those stories with you, along with specially curated content on our podcast, @amrpodcast . Dismantling white supremacy is the work of many, and Indigenous communities have been in this battle since European contact, including with the most genocidal racism and pandemic ever. I believe that Project 562 holds the powerful stories that can inspire our collective consciousness to reconcile its relationship with Native America. It is through the sharing of each other s stories that we connect and change; it is what gives us hope and inspires us. While @project_562 is part of the great compendium of Indigenous led work moving towards reconciliation, it is going to take many discussions among us right now and beyond, to get at the source of that work and make sure it is carried through the next generation. I invite you to be part of those conversations and am grateful to @grace__bonney for radically transforming Design Sponge to make space for this work.」8月15日 1時21分
