Nothing is Natural is a performative art exhibition initiated by R.I.S.E.âRadical Indigenous Survivance & Empowermentâin collaboration with interdisciplinary art collectives Winter Count and Postcommodity. The exhibitionâs call-and-response nature underscores the significance of convergence, amplifying the artistsâ responses to: social and environmental injustice; migration/movement/evolution; sanctuary; Indigenous Survivance; trust; and the resilience of culture despite forced relocation and resource extraction. The project unfolds throughout the restored Reed College Canyon and its natural water source Crystal Springs. Nothing is Natural is an on-going ceremonious act merging the inherent politics of Indigenous sovereignty, social capital, and the protection of land, water, air, and body.
This project was made possible through the generosity and support of Converge 45, Oregon Arts Commission, the Ford Family Foundation, and the Regional Arts & Culture Council's PORTLAND program. Ahéhéé // xo.
