“Feral” by Cannupa Hanska

On the program:

• On location for “Tribeca Hacks (NDN Country)” hackathon at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, follow a team that focuses on language preservation.
“It’s not so much a language app or a language website. It’s more about people’s experience with their language, for people who are interested in preserving their culture and their language.”

• Santa Fe ceramicist Cannupa Hanska creates playful, fierce, and fantastic creatures.
“I find truth to be really rigid and fragile, whereas honesty and sincerity have a level of pliability, plasticity. It’s flexible. It reminds me of storytelling, of more of an oral tradition than a written history.”

• Albuquerque’s Michael Hudock creates abstract paintings that are inspired by reality.
“I’m attracted to surfaces that have been affected by the elements, by time, and they develop their own history.”
