Abstract:
Jenn Cole and Cara Mumford share three drafts of collaborative dance-oriented films oriented towards Indigenous futures arising from ancestral teachings and Land-based relationships. As artists share and talk through films with audience attendees, they curate a conversation about how performance can keep us working with the skillset of imagining decolonized, ethical livable futures for all on these lands. Through movement, drawing and writing prompts, Cole and Mumford encourage collective dreaming alongside film experience.
