Kahstoserakwathe Paulette Moore Indigenous Lens on Media Making

Описание: On October 3, 2023 Kahstoserakwathe Paulette Moore, co-owner of The Aunties Dandelion media organization, visited The Sanctuary for Independent Media to discuss her background and how she transformed her work in mainstream media to focus on revitalizing communities through stories of land, language, and relationships.

The Aunties Dandelion is a media arts organization and a transformative space informed by traditional Onkwehon:we (original peoples’) teachings. They are a collective of storytellers who are co-creating and revitalizing an expansive global community through stories of land, language and relationships.​ The Aunties Dandelion recently completed their 30th podcast episode and wrapped shooting on their short film VESS – about a Kanyenkehà:ka (Mohawk) philosopher and carpenter who is working through the loss of family as he builds a home for a young family returning to the Rez.

The presentation was organized by Hudson Mohawk Magazine, and co-sponsored by the MDOCS Co-Creation Initiative of Skidmore College. The event was part of Sanctuary Eco-Art Trail project, funded by a National Endowment for the Arts Our Town creative placemaking grant, connecting Indigenous legacy to an urban nature walk on 6th Avenue.
