Indigenous Politics: From Native New England and Beyond
Tuesdays 4-5pm EDT
88.1 FM, Middletown, CT
Listen online LIVE: www.wesufm.org

On March 18, join your host, J. Kehaulani Kauanui for an interview with
installation and performance artist, James Luna (Luiseno, La Jolla band of
Mission Indians).  His work speaks to the fraught nature of indigenous
cultural politics as his art engages histories of colonialism,
representation, and decolonization through the use of irony and humor. 
Luna was selected by the National Museum of the American Indian for the
2005 Venice Biennale for his installation-exhibit, "Emendatio," a project
that collapses time between 1834 and 2005, and the space between Italy
and California.  With its homage to Pablo Tac (a Luiseno Indian) who came
to Rome from the San Luis Rey mission to study for the priesthood in 1834,
"Emendatio" claims Venice as part of American Indian history. "Emendatio"
is currently on exhibit at the George Gustav-Heye Center in New York City,
which is part of the National Museum of the American Indian through April
20, 2008. Listen in to this conversation about Luna's artistic trajectory,
his process, the interventions his work intends, and what we can
anticipate in the future.
