Hey, Teebs!

High-res

hey bbs just a heads up I finally did the whole squarespace thing and made a “real” website over at tommy-pico.com, so that’s where I’ll be updating everything from now on. Oh and I posted a new poem that’s kind of a mash up of some old work with new work as the connective tissue between the stuff called “I See the Fire that Burns Within You” that I was commissioned to make for a conference on healing indigenous trauma on my rez. You can read the text and hear me read it too! CHECK IT OUUUUUUT:

High resolution 12 “ x 18″ poster of two Indigenous Diné Nádleehí taken during Hwéeldi (the Long Walk, which was the forced removal/ relocation of the Diné to an internment camp located near Bosque Redondo, New Mexico in 1864. Diné were forced to walk over 300 miles by gunpoint and the aftermath of the Long Walk has had a substantial impact on the trauma experienced by a resilient people. As with all our posters, feel liberated to print out and wheatpaste at will!

The photograph shows two Diné Nádleehí (trans.: “the one is changing”), which is the equivalent to Indigenous Queer and Trans identity in contemporary culture. It is accompanied by text that challenges Western perspectives on homosexuality by asking the viewer to imagine the pre-“history” of terms and issues that have become relevant to the construction of contemporary Queer culture. In this case, it inserts an Indigenous narrative prior to genocide, colonization, health epidemics, and forced assimilation to Western notions that include but are not limited to gender, sexuality, sexual orientation, same-sex marriage, queer history, and romanticization of nature and feminine/masculine identity.
