The Medicine We Hold - JLF Colorado: International Literature Festival

The Medicine We Hold - JLF Colorado: International Literature Festival

This session centers esteemed authors Danielle SeeWalker and Tanaya Winder, whose art grapples with the beauty, medicine, and the responsibilities of Native women, imagining Native futures into being as a form of resistance against colonial patriarchy. Danielle SeeWalker and Tanaya Winder shall walk together through the contours of their creative processes and lived experiences as Native women, exploring the role of their unique artistic expressions in bringing medicine to contemporary challenges. How do we use our artistic voices to uplift what is needed in these times? Through this question and others, crafted by Danielle SeeWalker, Tanaya Winder, and the CU Boulder Center for Native American and Indigenous Studies, the conversation will unfold in real time as living and breathing art; as medicine in and of itself. A conversation between Danielle SeeWalker and Tanaya Winder.
