Good morning. Today, two separate bodies of work — a film and an exhibition — explore notions of Indigenous sustenance, sustainability, and sovereignty in the face of environmental threats and displacement. Staff Reporter Rhea Nayyar delves into a new documentary exploring the profound relationship between the Blackfeet Nation and the wild buffalo that took home a Climate Justice Award at this year’s BlackStar Film Festival. And in New Mexico, contributor Nancy Zastudil reviews Chicano/Coahuiltecan artist Dominick Porras’s photo-sculptures, some of which touch upon the effects of unpredictable smelt fish populations on Tolowa Dee-ni’ communities. More below, including a new Armenian Heritage Walk in Philadelphia and Hyperallergic Editor-in-Chief Hrag Vartanian’s conversations with Tremaine Fellows Machiko Harada and Tiffany Gaines. — Valentina Di Liscia, News Editor | |
