Lab 8.2: Kaie:ri Nikawera:ke (four directions) - Jackson 2bears
September 26, 2008 - November 16, 2008
Jackson 2bears creates an interactive and performable project that reflects on traditional Indigenous spirituality and its deep connection to the land and the natural environment. Drawing on Gregory Cajete?s Theory of Interconnectedness, in which the land is considered to be an extension of the body, 2bears explores the intertwining of consciousness and nature. Kaie:ri Nikawera:ke (four directions) takes orientation as its central theme, reflecting on the struggles of Indigenous communities to maintain their spiritual connection to Mother Earth in contemporary life.
