As we explore what it means to be a decolonial scholar outside the traditional walls of the academy, we turn our attention to the intersection of public art, archives, and ecological urban planning.

We are thrilled to be joined by curator, cultural memory worker, and land steward Tracy Fenix, who will present on The Mud Kin Project—a land-based curatorial mapping initiative focused on Latinx/é and Indigenous projects.

Tracy’s lecture will address the challenges of archival documentation and hyper-surveillance, sharing methods for reclaiming place and narrative. They will explore how collective mapping can mobilize power and visibility in the face of ongoing systemic oppression. Following the lecture, audience members will be invited to participate in a discussion on personal story-mapping strategies and interpretations of the land.
