"This episode will focus on Indigenous languages and our position as settlers in relation to contemporary Indigenous artists' use of and engagement with Indigenous language learning, publication and other forms of distribution. At the heart of this episode is a wide-ranging conversation with Cannupa Hanska Luger, concept artist of STTLMNT: Indigenous Digital Occupation, about the place of language in their recent work EACH/OTHER (with Marie Watt) and how Indigenous language learning builds community while also transforming the English language from within. The episode also engages with Potu faitautusi: Faiāʻoga o gagana e, ia uluulumamau!, which translates from the Sāmoan language as ‘Be Courageous, Language Teachers! Reading Room', an ongoing project at Columbus Printed Arts Center. We hear from guest librarian Dr Léuli Eshrāghi about how they and other participating artists (including Sarah Biscarra Dilley and Sebastián Calfuqueo Aliste) gather books on Indigenous art and philosophy and create prints with an Indigenous language phrase, proverb or concept to generate a constellatory syllabus grounded in sensual, spoken and marked languages. Léuli offers a description of their new limited edition print created for the project which includes a precolonial Sāmoan prayer and is now available to buy on the Columbus Printed Arts Center website. Throughout the episode, you will hear samples from Elisa Harkins' album Radio III / ᎦᏬᏂᏍᎩ ᏦᎢ mixing disco beats with singing in the Cherokee and Muscogee Creek languages. The album is available from Western Front Recordings and on Harkins’ Bandcamp as a digital download or vinyl LP." @minus_plato

"This episode will discuss approaches to curriculum for global Indigenous arts from within and beyond the settler institutions of the university and the museum. In addition to an ongoing conversation on this topic with Cannupa Hanska Luger, concept artist of STTLMNT: Indigenous Digital Occupation, the episode centers on a narrative by Jaime Morse, educator for Indigenous Programs and Outreach at the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa. Focusing on her experience as an educator at the two large-scale exhibitions of global Indigenous art, Sakahàn (2013) and Àbadakone (2019), Morse describes the work of Sámi architect and artist Joar Nango (Sámi Architectural Library, 2019) at the latter as a space of gathering and knowledge exchange, not only for other artists in the exhibition, but also for Indigenous community members. At the beginning and end of the episode are two spoken word pieces by writer, artist and curator Taqralik Partridge, of Inuit, Scottish and Canadian heritage: ‘Decolonisation is a Pyramid Scheme’ and ‘Untitled’. The former was included in a TV show created by Joar Nango and Ken Are Bongo called Post-Capitalist Architecture TV for Bergen Kunsthall, while the latter was included in NIRIN: 22nd Sydney Biennale, curated by Brook Andrew. ‘Untitled’ was originally written following a performance by Indigenous Brazilian artist Denilson Baniwa in Toronto and Partridge agreed for it to be included in today’s episode with a request for donations to support the South American Indigenous Network Emergency Fund – here is the link to donate: https://www.gofundme.com/f/south-american-indigenous-network-emergency-fund " @minus-plato

"dear fellow settler colonizer," A Minus Plato broadcast. Episode 4

"This episode focuses on STTLMNT: Indigenous Digital Occupation, by asking how settlers can change our relationship to the internet as part of the reclamation of digital space by and for Indigenous artists and audiences. The whole episode comprises a conversation between Cannupa Hanska Luger, concept artist of STTLMNT and filmmaker and Red Brigade Films Director Razelle Benally.

Through an intimate exchange, the two artists share their experiences at the very heart of the STTLMNT project; how the conceptual core of the project shifted to digital space and how this concept was expanded and enriched through the intense and exhausting labor of Benally’s pandemic-era travel across the country to create the sequence of films devoted to the participating artists and their practices. Expanding on her statement about the project posted on the STTLMNT website, Benally discusses her films as ‘vessels of access’ to the participating artists as a generative alternative to settler colonial methods of occupation, extraction and erasure. Her process in careful dialogue with each artist challenges the very language of documentary film that speaks of ‘shooting’, ‘capturing’, and ‘cutting’ within the filming and editing process. The conversation offers a compelling insight into the making of the STTLMNT project that shows how its uniqueness as an Indigenous online art project cannot be simplistically accessed or consumed by curious settler audiences, but must be engaged as part of an ongoing process of unlearning entrenched ideas about what it means to occupy space across, even across digital networks." - @minus_plato

On May 29th, Benally will present an online premiere of a very special Directors Cut using footage she has gathered over the course of her work on the STTLMNT x Red Brigade Films short documentary series, incorporating behind the scenes and previously unseen footage. She will again be joined with Cannupa Hanska Luger in a post-screening conversation and Q&A.

Reflect

An experimental electronic journey on a classical piece

Bach Prelude Remix

He sweats through all of his clothes
He forces himself to sleep
And only thinks of me
It seems like nobody knows
About this new kind of free
Where I am the only girl

When I make the tides change
And tell you I want you
Come crashing

When I make your life change
And rid of the past
Boy I'm the future
You told me so

You don't know her
You don't know her
You don't know her
You don't know her

Waves crashing onto me
Waves crashing onto me
He's crashing onto me
He crashes like a thousand waves

Waves crashing onto me
Waves crashing onto me
It's crashing like a thousand waves
My love is like a thousand waves

Waves crashing onto me
Do you think I'm afraid?
Do you think I'm afraid?
It's like a thousand waves

Ghostholding

Spider

You hold me like a lover
You tell me that I'm yours and you're mine
I scaled the city with your shapes on my neck, and your breath in my ear
A guest in my mind

We laughed off when I told you
The night before, in the taxi, I cried
Fucking strangers making fun of me

And you know they're hard to hide
If I'm the one, get me high
And I stay high

Loving you is just another excuse to lose my mind, and I paid the price
Cleveland, I cry profusely in a hotel room
And it's been paid for two, but it's all mine
Day drinking downtown
I'll still see you tonight

You know why
I can't stay mad at you for my life
Every feeling feels like the first time or the last time
And then you run away
It's the first and the last time

Baby, I waited by the phone
Said you'd be home in an hour or so
Then the sun left my apartment
Then the sun left my face

Tell me I'm not the only one
I wait for my friends to pull me aside
Even when your soul leaves your body
You're still sleeping next to mine

I can't keep loving you on borrowed time
And I stay high

Loving you is just another excuse to lose my mind, and I paid the price
Cleveland, I cry profusely in a hotel room
And it's been paid for two, but it's all mine
Day drinking downtown
I'll still see you tonight

You know why
I can't stay mad at you for my life
Every feeling feels like the first time or the last time
And then you run away
It's the first and the last time

Guesthouse

I don’t want something to happen to you
Still, I wanna give you my all
I can’t help but put my hands onto you
Treat you like a superstar

I got a feeling you’re gonna go
I got a feeling you’re gonna go
I got a feeling you’re gonna go

I've been feeling some pain for fun now
Didn’t even wanna let it show
I’ve been hiding all the details
Just hate it, feeling alone

World tells me you don’t know much
I’ll teach you how to play my guitar
We hum the song, don’t know how it goes
I get the feeling you don’t wanna go

I was all over the country
Didn’t even wanna go back home
I just wanted to see you
Just hate it, being alone
Just hate it, being alone
I got a feeling you’re gonna go
I got a feeling you’re gonna go
I got a feeling you’re gonna go

I don’t want something to happen to you
Teach me how to play my guitar
I can’t help but take my hands off of you
Treat me like a superstar

I was all over the country
Didn’t even wanna go back home
I just wanted to see you
Just hated being alone
Just hated being alone
Just hated being alone
Just hated being alone
Just hate it, being alone

Play my guitar

I saw God in your arms, I took him to sleep
And it's not much faith that I have, so I play it for keeps
Jesus don't like bitches
I was floating down stream, baby believe in me
Baby believe in me

Did you see God when you say you felt lucky lately?
And it's not much faith that you have 'cause it's suffocating
Fuck about praying, I just wanna see you naked
Watch you undress me
I believe everything, do you believe in me?

Don't think twice 'bout the sides you don't get to see
And it's not much faith that I have
But you're dancing with me
When I play that song, know you'll go to sing along
Have your mind on repeat
Baby believe in me
Baby believe in me

I saw God in your arms, I took him to sleep
And it's not much faith that I have, so I play it for keeps
Jesus don't like bitches
I was floating down stream, baby believe in me
Baby believe in me

Good things come easy, blessings come hard
I don't get lucky twice but I've come so far
Does Jesus miss me? I've been moving so smart
Baby believe in me

Don't think twice 'bout the sides you don't get to see
And it's not much faith that I have
But you're dancing with me
When I play that song, know you'll go to sing along
Have your mind on repeat
Baby believe in me
Baby believe in me

Believe

I've been wrong
It's not mine to tell
Pills in my system
And you open up your hands
I can’t complain

If you like what I've done with the place
You can tell me all the things
Won't make you lesser of a man
You can't complain

So where are we buying now?
‘Cause nothing in this life’s that free
No harm, no foul, no sleep
Everything’s right where it’s supposed to be

Days blend when you’re next to me
Days blend when you’re next to me

You’re right about the way I move
I’ve been scanning all across the world for you
Some things don’t dry the same way
And the world against you turns a shade of blue

So where are we buying now?
‘Cause nothing in this life’s that free
No harm, no foul, no sleep
Everything’s right where it’s supposed to be

Days blend when you’re next to me
Days blend when you’re next to me

Lights turned off
I’ve been keeping busy
Fresh new sheets, I’m a portrait in his bed
He can’t complain
Baby, you've got so much sweet to say

You’re right about the way I move
I’ve been scanning all across the world for you
Some things don’t dry the same way
And the world against me turns a shade of blue

No sleep

"dear fellow settler colonizer," is a new minus plato broadcast series for Verge.fm

This episode focuses on collaborations between Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists and audiences across a range of roles, from ally to accomplice, challenging performative settler 'moves to innocence'. From the Columbus Museum of Art exhibition "Object/Set" by Gauri Gill to the radical media projects of New Red Order (NRO) and their 'informants', the episode continues the radio show's focus on exploring the transformative work of contemporary global Indigenous artists from the explicitly problematic perspective of the settler colonizer. By critically examining our complicity in ongoing structures of colonial violence, the show offers tools for settler colonizers to engage with Indigenous artmaking beyond positions of exploitation, appropriation and other harmful moves to innocence.

"dear fellow settler colonizer," A Minus Plato broadcast. Episode 2

Artist-run independent broadcasting platform amplifying narratives of intersection, solidarity, contradiction and inspiration in the Arts.

Launched in 2014, Broken Boxes was created to transmit ideas between working Artists. Broken Boxes shares the lived experiences and world building strategies of contemporary Artists in order to archive collective strength while considering how Art and imagining may unbind us from collective social trauma. This long-form interview podcast reflects the vulnerability and strength of the Artist while acknowledging the many variations of an Artists practiced values including those of the activist, advocate, disruptor or culture bearer. 

Broken Boxes maintains that complexity is resilience and expands on the points where we stand in accomplice-ship for one another as creatives. By actively practicing long term alliance through communication strategy, this work amplifies Artists at the forefront of global and regional impact who are creating new ways to see our existence through Art, organizing and advocacy. This project promotes deeper understanding, healing and solidarity as we move collectively towards witnessing each other and the world in new ways.
