To support Resurgence, Reparations, & Return: Restoring Indigenous Epistemologies in Northwest Arkansas’ Contemporary Art Practices & Scholarship, a symposium that aims to explore collective memories and Indigenous futures in Northwest Arkansas and Eastern Oklahoma. Addressing re-Indigenizing spaces through restorative funding, land repatriation, and artistic interventions, while also acknowledging the ongoing effects of rapid gentrification and settler-colonial histories, the event features panels on topics such as monumentality, land return, Indigenous representation, and commemoration of the Trail of Tears, beginning with virtual discussions on the history of Indigenous removal and culminating in visits to significant memorial sites. All programs will be livestreamed and recorded for later access on the University of Arkansas—Fayetteville’s Center for Art as Lived Experience (C.A.L.E.) website, where both live events and panels will be available for viewing through video and audio archives.
