Siv Greyson is responding to the archive of Sophia Klaase’s pictures via a podcast-like form where they can speak (rather literally) to auto-ethnography, participant photography, and voice. Using black-self-articulation as a narrative lens, Greyson - along with 2 fellow black-queer visual artists - continues a much larger conversation about the implications of the Native-as-archivist as a counter-canon/counter-hegemony praxis.
