  • IDA’s latest guest artist is Tanya Lukin Linklater. Her performances in museums, videos and installations have been exhibited in Canada, the United States and abroad. Her work centres #Indigenous knowledge production in and through #orality, conversation and embodied #practices, including #dance. She considers That which sustains us a conceptual and affective line within her work. While reckoning with histories that affect Indigenous peoples' lives, lands and ideas, she investigates insistence. She considers the ways in which Indigenous ideas inhabit or interrupt museum spaces, and the relationships between live performance and museum collections made up of Indigenous objects or cultural belongings. Come join us for this important talk and exceptional performance. Let’s come together in community around these important issues. And please help us spread the word, tag a friend (or two) that you think would want to attend! For all IDA events, go to our website and subscribe to our newsletter. Link in bio.

In this presentation, Stanford Professor Richard Meyer and Director at the Institute for Diversity in the Arts at Stanford University, A-Ian Holt will consider the role of art in provoking political conflict and social change in contemporary America.

Which premieres this fall via @stanfordtaps #Repost @stanfordarts ・・・ In the ReVIVAL Arts Intensive course, students are working with Stanford Artist in Residence Amara Tabor-Smith on a site-specific, multimedia, dance theater work.

  • Thankful for the coverage of IDA’s mural “Are you sure sweetheart that you want to be well” created by @jessxsnow. Article written by #GraceLi read more at the link in our bio. We hope this feels like a gift to many generations of Stanford students of color. We 💜 you #Repost @sfchronicle_datebook ・・・ “It’s a huge way of showing the communities of color and women and queer folks that we see them and they are deserving of monumental walls,” artist @jessxsnow said. Their mural, “Are You Sure Sweetheart, That You Want to Be Well?”, stands on the wall of @idastanford’s Harmony House, where renderings of Mother Earth and a Stanford student reach for each other, healing from intergenerational trauma. It's based on #ToniCadeBambara’s novel “The Salt Eaters,” and features stars, roots, and bright blooms of California poppies.
