Vital Currents: Decolonial Materialisms in Contemporary Art
Eugenia Kisin is assistant professor of art and society at NYU’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study. She teaches classes about art and environmental justice, with a focus on contemporary Indigenous art in North America. Her book project, Aesthetics of Repair, considers how Indigenous artists extend ancestral protocols for bringing about just relations between persons, things, and territories in the extractive economies of the Pacific Northwest. Her Museum for Future Fossils project, an scholar’s workshop and summer school organized with Kirsty Robertson (Western University), explores curatorial practice in the Anthropocene. She is also co-curator of Overflow, a group exhibition of contemporary art on water, toxicity, and kinship (co-curated with Keith Miller and Kirsty Robertson).
