Surrendur

Karthik Pandian & Mike Forcia in person!

Surrendur transmits the stories of Mike Forcia (Bad River Anishinaabe), who orchestrated the 2020 toppling of a Christopher Columbus monument in Minnesota, and Ta Pe’juta Wičháȟpi Win (Hunkpati Dakota Oyate), whose political consciousness was awakened while dancing around the fallen statue with her daughter. Energies of the George Floyd protests, Anishinaabe seven fires prophecy, and Dakota 38+2 Memorial Ride oscillate from intimate conversation to kinetic montage, tracing a riverine network of migration and homecoming, chance encounter and careful collaboration, between the luminous activists and artists of Minneapolis.
