CONGRATULATIONS TO UO ETHNIC STUDIES ALUM, NATALIE BALL, ON THE LAUNCH OF HER NEWEST ART EXHIBITION, “MAPPING COYOTE BLACK, A SOLO SHOW”

Mapping Coyote Black is an installation that engages theories that challenge mainstream ideas of indigeneity, race and ethnicity; specifically lives, like my own, at the intersection of native and black.Native lives and black lives are often lived within racial intersections that remain hidden or unacknowledged for various reasons. This installation challenges assumptions about the limits of indigeneity and blackness and engages the viewer through mapping, refusal, desire, revenge, and haunting. My installation creates a new auto ethnographic narrative, a narrative mapping of untold histories that lends itself to new possible futures.
