F.I.R.E. (2): Forums for Indigenous Research and Exchange Series

F.I.R.E. returns to the Field Center this spring with an amazing cohort of contemporary artists from across Turtle Island.

F.I.R.E.  [forums for indigenous research and exchange] is a week-long co-curated group residency providing a self-structured space for conversations around contemporary art making today, tools and strategies for thriving economically, and opportunities for colleagues and friends to meet with one another and make work in an informal and supportive environment.

This initiative invites up to 25 Indigenous and First Nations artists from all modalities to come for a week to connect, strategize, relax and connect with fellow artists working in the turtle island eg: 'u.s./canada' today, offering a rare chance for the folks to make work, rest and be in residency as a group. This residency is fully curated by and for a rolling group of indigenous contemporary artists. Each year, previous participants are invited to ask other artists to attend the coming year.
