ixchel (we are still here, remember this medicine ) - a performance installation and ceremony
Cristina Pitter
this work investigates the process of being in relationship and balance with the natural world.
this work gestures to the tangled paths of re-indigenizing and deracializing myself.
this work is my medicine.
through visual art, song, poetry, and ritual I offer medicine shared to me by ancestors known and unknown, seen and unseen.
this is medicine gifted and expanded on native lands that are not mine.
this is the medicine igniting the way home.
I am still here. remember my medicine.
Supreme Thanks & Love to my ancestors, M. Carmen Lane (ATNSC) for their guidance, Sacred Paths Yoga for the ceremonial cacao from Ruk’u’x Ulew, Shamans Market for the Mayan copal, The Exponential Festival Team, the folks at JACK, Monica Sun L.Ac, Theresa Gonzalez, Lilli Stein, Julia Anrather, Ellie Philips, and my hubby bubby Straw2gold Pictures.
