KIN Conversations 1: Center of Center of Center
KIN Conversations 2: Uqamaltaciq, the weight of something
KIN Conversations 3: Qailluqtarr, to act, change or deal with things in various ways – some ways in which are hard to explain

Guided by First Nations artists and scholars—Paola Balla, a Wemba-Wemba and Gunditjmara woman based in Melbourne; Genevieve Grieves, a Worimi woman from Southeast Australia based in Melbourne; and Emily Johnson, a Yup’ik woman from Alaska based in New York City—this series of conversations threads through KIN and like KIN, it weaves through trauma, violence, and history with a generous resolve for the present and future—a commitment to generosity, positive motion, and the kind of deep love that moves forward like the undercurrent of the East River, the Birrarung, the Mnisose…

Please come to all three conversations if you can, as they are accumulative.
