Indigenous Truthtelling Symposium and Art Exhibit

The California Center for Native Nations (CCNN), in collaboration with the Department of Media and Cultural Studies (MCS), invites you to the Indigenous Truthtelling Symposium & Art Exhibit. This one-day gathering honors artists, poets, writers, scholars, and journalists who dedicate their lives to truth-telling in the face of ongoing violence. The exhibit features an original installation by CCNN artist-in-residence Weshoyot Alvitre, a Tongva-Scottish artist whose work reflects Indigenous legacies of resistance to displacement and erasure, alongside mosaic portraits and sculptures honoring truth-tellers such as Bisan Owda, Shireen Abu Akleh, and Dr. Refaat Alareer, whose poem “If I Must Die” will appear in multiple languages.
