Settlement

25+ Native artists indigenize a quadricentennial celebration of colonialism in Plymouth, UK in 2020

About

Settlement is a radical Native American-led performative encampment in which Indigenous artists from across North America will occupy Plymouth’s Central Park in the United Kingdom for four weeks from July 6-August 7, 2020 during the quadricentennial commemoration of the Mayflower voyage.

Settlement is the only Native American led project within the larger Mayflower 400 program, and is conceived and produced by Native American artist Cannupa Hanska Luger with Plymouth-based collective theconscioussisters.

Artist Cannupa Hanska Luger has invited over 25 artists from various North American tribal nations and into the Pacific region to occupy Central Park in Plymouth, UK. Each of the invited artists is developing work that explores colonialism and its effects on Indigenous people, working with Luger and other Settlement artists over the course of a year to develop and produce their ideas and live and work together on-site in Central Park in a large-scale installation of public art. In addition to the Central Park encampment, each artist will produce a performance, workshop or lecture for a satellite venue elsewhere in Plymouth.

Money raised here for Settlement will go directly into the hands of the invited Indigenous artists as they set sail for Plymouth, UK to Indigenize a celebration of colonialism.
