Yáamay Anthology Panel
Join us for the Yáamay Anthony Panel on October 25th at New Village Arts, an event featuring contributors to Yáamay, an anthology of Indigenous poetry, artwork, and essays specific to Southern California.
This panel is FREE admission to the public; RSVPs encouraged.
Yáamay is an anthology of Indigenous poetry, artwork, and essays specific to what is now known as Southern California. Collectively, these pieces portray the multifarious effects of colonization on Indigenous people of this area, from the California Mission system, to the traumatic assimilationist policies that are still felt today. At the same time, a focus on ancestral teachings, the nostalgia of growing up on the rez, and the joys of (self)love and independence can be found in a way that defies these wounds. Join Yáamay contributors as they speak on their art practices and experiences as Indigenous women.
Panelists include: Camaray Davalos, Avelaka Macarro, Marlene’ Dusek, and Alexis Munoa Dyer. The panel will be moderated by Juan Reynoso from the Queer Sol Collective.
This panel is FREE admission to the public; RSVPs encouraged.
