How can art engender liberating ways of knowing, imagining, and ultimately producing the world? And what is the role of indigenous scientific literacies in this endeavor? In face of the decadence of Progress as the modern world’s civilizational compass, scholar Grace Dillon and artist Suzanne Kite will engage in a conversation to explore different aspects of indigenous artistic and scientific engagements with reality to delve for alternative worlds, futures, and temporalities, which will be able to account for a more-than-human endurance through time.Â

Dillon (Anishinaabe) is Professor in the Indigenous Nations Studies Department in the School of Gender, Race, and Nations and also Affiliated Professor at the English and Women, Gender, and Sexualities Departments at Portland State University in Portland, Oregon.
