DecolonizeLA : Kite's "Sources" and "Some Numbers"

"Sources or ( x ) x + [ ( x ) x { x } x x ] { x } +" is a performance that takes a body through an environmental simulation of the Oglala Lakota comsologyscape, shouldering the burden of 4 female Oglala characters who have shaped space/time. The piece includes 12 sculptures, animation, sound, video, carbon fiber, clothing, and movement, developed from an obsessive hyper-structure derived from “bad” source books that attempt to qualify Oglala religion into a simplified chart. This piece explores the relationship between the body and the entanglement between lies, fiction, oral history, mythology, ethnography, and Oglala religion.

"Some Numbers" is a lecture/performance that asks the question "WHY?" "Why are there so few Indigenous working artists? Why are there so few Indigenous art school graduates?"
