Trina Michelle Robinson and Tricia Rainwater, featured in the exhibition, bring deeply personal and community-centered approaches to their work. Robinson’s Liberation Through Redaction (2022) and Rammed Earth Pedestal (2024) trace family migration and survival through handmade materials and sound that honor ancestral resilience. Rainwater’s Falamvt ishla chike (2024) is a powerful multimedia installation confronting the crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit People, weaving memory, language, and activism into a call for justice.
Through a conversation grounded in their artistic practices, the panel will explore critical themes of colonial trauma, migration, and self-determination. What does it mean to carry and rebuild from fractured histories? How can art foster spaces for collective healing and radical change?
