"dear fellow settler colonizer," is a Minus Plato series, rebroadcast on Broken Boxes for STTLMNT Digital Occupation as resource archive directed towards education of settler ancestors who may like to more relationally engage with work created by and centering Indigenous artists, such as with the STTLMNT project.

“The show will explore the transformative work of contemporary global Indigenous artists from the explicitly problematic perspective of the settler colonizer. By critically examining our complicity in ongoing structures of colonial violence, the show offers tools for settler colonizers to engage with Indigenous artmaking beyond positions of exploitation, appropriation and other harmful moves to innocence.” - Minus Plato

This episode focuses on collaborations between Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists and audiences across a range of roles, from ally to accomplice, challenging performative settler 'moves to innocence'. From the Columbus Museum of Art exhibition "Object/Set" by Gauri Gill to the radical media projects of New Red Order (NRO) and their 'informants', the episode continues the radio show's focus on exploring the transformative work of contemporary global Indigenous artists from the explicitly problematic perspective of the settler colonizer. By critically examining our complicity in ongoing structures of colonial violence, the show offers tools for settler colonizers to engage with Indigenous artmaking beyond positions of exploitation, appropriation and other harmful moves to innocence. In this episode, Minus Plato will again be joined by Cannupa Hanska Luger, concept artist of STTLMNT: Indigenous Digital Occupation

For each episode, Minus Plato will be joined by Cannupa Hanska Luger, Native American concept artist of STTLMNT: Indigenous Digital Occupation. www.cannupahanska.com // www.minusplato.com
