This event, which is part of The Yanomami Struggle exhibit at The Shed (see separate event for details), will include an address by Mirian Masaquiza, associate social affairs officer for the Secretariat of the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues; artistic responses by poet, artist, and activist Cecilia Vicuña, musician and composer Laura Ortman, and singer and composer Jennifer Kreisberg; and a closing reflection facilitated by Candice Hopkins, executive director, and chief curator at Forge Project.

This is the second in a three-day series which offer a platform for Yanomami and Indigenous voices, while exploring the contexts and themes of the exhibition, from the fight for Indigenous rights and sovereignty to environmental justice and the connections between art and activism. Panel conversations and events will feature Yanomami and other Indigenous artists and community-builders, including academics, policy-makers, and representatives of community organizations.
