Event Host: Global Arts + Humanities Discovery Theme
Short Description: Digital Dialogue Four considers how Native writers, artists and communities assert ways that mounds and other earthworks continue to hold ancient knowledge and make new meaning — in the present and for the future.
Featured Speaker | Chadwick Allen: Russell F. Stark University Professor and Associate Vice Provost for Faculty Advancement, Department of Information-University of Washington
Moderator: Maurice Stevens: Professor, Department of Comparative Studies
Since the eighteenth century, Indigenous mounds have been represented as the tragic ruins of “lost” civilizations: “mysteries” and “enigmas” with no relation to living Native American peoples and no ongoing relevance. Digital Dialogue Four considers how Native writers, artists and communities refuse these discourses of extinction through vibrant acts of imagination — asserting the multiple ways that mounds and other earthworks continue to hold ancient knowledge and make new meaning — in the present and for the future.
