Convened with Borderlands Curatorial Fellow Larissa Nez (Diné), the last seminar of the first year of Correction* considers rematriation and the preservation of Indigenous culture, art, and land. With an emphasis on culture as a living process that incorporates both continuity and change, this seminar explores the ways Indigenous people from, and living in, the New York region are working across social and political landscapes to revitalize traditional practices, language usage, and artistic experimentation. Among the confirmed speakers are Indigenous rights activist Sutton King, MPH, Nāēqtaw-Pianakiw (comes first woman), an Afro-Indigenous descendent of the Menominee and Oneida Nations of Wisconsin and Co-Founder of Urban Indigenous Collective, contemporary mixed media artist Leonard Harmon, a citizen of the Lenape Tribe of New Jersey and the Nanticoke Tribe of Delaware, and Jeremy Dennis, a contemporary fine art photographer and a tribal member of the Shinnecock Indian Nation in Southampton, NY. 

Correction* Seminar Series 

A series of twelve seminars, presented from September 2022 through May 2024, Correction* is structured as an open curriculum. Led by Vera List Center faculty and staff, each monthly seminar in this two-year series explores the perils and potentials of the political, social, and metaphorical implications of “correction.” Bridging theory and practice, Correction* unfolds through three distinct research clusters every semester set to guide our joint investigation into Restitution, the Body, and Carcerality. It is presented as part of the Barbara Jordan Lectures: The State of Democracy series.

The Vera List Center is committed to ensuring that our programs are accessible to and inclusive of all. Please let us know when registering if you need any accommodation.
