“Many Native artists and people feel they’ve been living in a post-apocalyptic world since 1493.” In the latest episode of our Why AxS podcast, we explore the rise of Futurism in Indigenous art as a means of enduring colonial trauma and envisioning a more inclusive, sustainable future. We’re joined by three brilliant scientific and artistic minds: 🟠 Virgil Ortiz, Pueblo artist with a sci-fi take on traditional Cochiti pottery 🟠 Daniel Wildcat, Professor, Haskell Indian Nations University 🟠 Amy Scott, VP, Research + Interpretation, Autry Museum of the American West Listen + subscribe at @artcenteredu's bio 🔗 and prepare to cover a lot of ground, space + sci-fi.

The Pueblo Revolt began in 1680, but ReVOlt 1680/2180 reimagines history. In this contemporary retelling of history by Cochiti Pueblo artist @virgilortiz, rebels will have more resources and aid, and their territories will be secure once and for all. 📷 @mitokino
