February 7, 2018; 3:00-5:00PM
Social Sciences Building, Room 107
Come out to a talk featuring Dr. Tria Blu Wakpa, who will talk about how settler colonial discourses have sought to invisiblize Native peoples and nations through physical and cultural genocide and misrepresentation. Unearthing the relationship of Indigenous cultural productions to Native sovereignties therefore becomes an important political project. This talk critically examines the vital and, at times, uneasy linkages between Indigenous human and nonhuman persons' sovereignties through the lens of North American hand talk (sign language), dances, martial arts, and their convergences.
This event is sponsored by the UCSD Department of Ethnic Studies, the Studio for Tactical Ethnography, and the Transnational & Indigenous Politics & Aesthetics Working Group.
