Artists Tricia Rainwater & Tyler Eash in Conversation
Tricia Rainwater (Chahta & German Indigiqueer) & Tyler Eash (2 Spirit of Maidu, Modoc & Irish Settler descent) reflect on their respective current duo exhibitions. Rainwater’s “I Split The Ground So It Would Not Close Over Me” at the San Francisco Arts Commission with Kelley Finley and Eash’s “Breaking Briseadh Wa’aidom” with Laura Ní Fhlaibhín at Britta Rettberg in Munich, Germany.
The artists share how their practices have allowed for the survival of their culturally informed philosophies and ethics despite generations of dispossession and colonial violence. The two interdisciplinary artists discuss how exhibition making can grant realness to stories that go unheard and how sovereign territory in the realm of contemporary art can be reserved for truth-telling and collective healing. By expressing the need to protect the sacred voice, the two examine a safer arts infrastructure for Native Artists.
