The event is part of Trammell’s Black Amnesia and Indigenous Justice project series that began as his 2018-19 Intercultural Leadership Institute fellowship and his solo tour, Status Quo Is My Enemy. Ebonics Native Land Acknowledgement series of public site-interventions in Oakland , performed by
Marshall Trammell are meant to create a platform for new interpretations of the ethos of native land acknowledgements with the Artist at the center of community empowerment, knowledge production, and solidarity economics.
As part of Ebonics Native Land Acknowledgement #1 (ENLA #1)
Marshall Trammell will lead a collective reading of the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, perform a percussion solo, and discuss the significance of his Black Amnesia and Indigenous Ebonic Native Land Acknowledgement projects, and the Pro Arts’ Performing Pro Arts COMMONS incubator that transgresses art, law, and economics to reframe the value of art and labor in the context of a sharing economy. This collective reading is going to be the foundation for an idiosyncratic, sound-based site-tuning event at the LOOM. It should further be noted that this project is an interpretation of the visual score, Dispatch #2, conceived by Candice Hopkins (Taglish/Yukon) and Raven Chacon (Navajo), with interpretation by Music Research Strategies. “Published in three parts — or ‘Dispatches’ as the artists declare — the work draws from Chacon and Hopkins’ reflections on the fight for cultural preservation and defense of Indigenous sovereignty at the Standing Rock Reservation Water Protector encampment in 2016."
