Ep27 Never Forget with Nicholas Galanin

International Arrivals speaks with Nicholas Galanin (Yéil Ya-Tseen) (https://www.peterblumgallery.com/artists/nicholas-galanin) who is a multi-disciplinary artist and musician of the Sitka Tribe of Alaska and of Tlingit and Unangax̂ descent. His work centers upon colonial encounters and historical amnesia, and the complexities of contemporary Indigenous culture and representation. Galanin speaks to IA about his work, the lack of Indigenous perspectives, the violence of discovery narratives, the appropriation of peoples and objects, and the movement between erasure and visibility for Indigenous communities.
