4th Annual Indigenous Women Artists Residency

Presented online in partnership with Pregones/PRTT Theater

Bringing Tobacco & Cedar: Digging into plants, roots, and journey

Pregones/PRTT is proud to partner with Jane Gabriels and PEPATIÁN for the second digital edition of their annual Indigenous Women Artists Residency, a project co-directed with Caridad de La Luz, on June 22-24, 2021.

This residency is as a border-crossing gathering that raises the visibility of self-identified Indigenous women artists by providing virtual space to share knowledge through conversation, creative workshops, informal showings, and opportunities to reflect, rejuvenate, and reconnect with the rivers and green spaces of The Bronx, and with its people.

The capstone to this year’s residency is a 3-night public program featuring wide-ranging online conversations with seven artists from across “Turtle Island” about their relationships with the earth and transnational trans/planting through research, stories, and art.
