A new art installation asks people and institutions to go beyond land acknowledgements - and give property back to Indigenous tribes.
The artists, brothers Adam and Zack Khalil and Jackson Polys, are part of the collective the New Red Order. They call it a"public secret society." Here they are with Creative Time curator Diya Vij.
"I would just encourage people, if they have the means and ability, to give it back and if they don't, maybe help Indigenous people take it back," said Adam Khalil, a filmmaker and one of the three Indigenous artists behind the exhibit. It runs through mid-October. Giving land back to Indigenous peoples may....seem unimaginable. But the artists say that helping people imagine the unimaginable is one of the purposes of art.The"New Red Order Realty" office showcases a film of testimonials from people and municipalities who deeded land back to indigenous groups."I'm so proud of our city, that we were able to make a small amends by returning an island where a massacre, horrible massacre happened," said Eureka mayor Kim Bergel.
