Makȟóčheowápi Akézaptaŋ (Fifteen Maps)
Kite, AKA Suzanne Kite MFA ’15, is an award-winning Oglála Lakȟóta performance and visual artist, composer, and academic. Her lecture will focus on the Hudson River site adjacent to the Bard Campus known as Cruger Island, which was “purchased” in the 19th century by John Cruger, who used it as a backdrop for stolen Mayan ruins he transported as casts from Honduras. In this experimental lecture, multimedia artist Kite will explore how artificial intelligence reproduces the logics of coloniality, flattening land, people, and lifeworlds into objects of knowledge—data points to be extracted. This event is open to the public. Reservation information coming soon.
Fisher Center, LUMA Theater
