Session 2: Global Uprising: Indigeneity, Land, Heritage // Hawaiʻi & Palestine

Online via Zoom
Registration required 

How do cultivation, contractors, culture and cosmopolitics relate to land rights struggles in Palestine and Hawaiʻi? This panel will reflect on growing ecological crises, displacement from land and alienation from heritage through potential strategies or antidotes presented by education and cultural projects that bridge art, science and agriculture. Through the practice of two working artists and two academics we will think through linkages of land, lineage and laws.

Featuring panelists Nida Sinnokrot (artst), Sean Connelly (artist), and moderators Nasser Abourahme (NYU) and ‘Ilima Long (University of Hawaiʻi).
