Experience a selection of short films by Native North American contemporary artists, curated by filmmaker and An Indigenous Present featured artist Sky Hopinka (Ho-Chunk Nation/Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians). The films are explore themes central to An Indigenous Present, including abstraction, transculturalism, and Indigenous creative practice, through a range of artistic perspectives and approaches.
“These are fleeting works, grounded in the land and in the ways these artists move through it. Through footsteps and memory, through the sounds of voices both present and past, through family and friendship, their gestures trace a continuity between what has been and what is yet to come. The impressions they leave recall the depressions of paths once walked in another life, now retraced toward another future. Each work is a site of remembrance and becoming—one that acknowledges how the act of moving through a place is also an act of shaping it. Together, these films carve their own marks on the landscape, blurring the boundaries of when and where they belong, and revealing the porous line between presence and absence, between what endures and what drifts away.”
