The Marronage; Meaning Wild Confluence series brings together global artists, scholars, and activists for year-long gatherings exploring wetlands’ cultural significance, emphasizing their historical role as refuge spaces, and reimagining indigeneity as a commitment to environmental stewardship, culminating in a convening program. The Rivers Institute plans to establish an online platform for sharing materials, reaching around 1,200 individuals via newsletters and Instagram, and to collaborate with Montez Radio Press to transform Confluence artists’ work into a radio series, aiming to foster broader audience engagement and promote innovative discourse across various mediums and geographical areas.
