Topic
Myth Salon with Dr. Norland Tellez and Vincent Stanzione: Dismantling the Colonial Gaze
Date & Time
Selected Sessions:
Jun 5, 2024 12:00 AM
Description
All native people across the globe seem to be in full agreement with a growing consensus among young people: our system, in its current shape, causes a lot more harm than good. Placing profits over people, it is committed to the destruction and ruthless exploitation of our environment, our labor, and our very souls. There is nothing that is not for sale within global capitalism, including the soul. Rather than promoting “democracy” and “freedom,” the prodigious wealth of a tiny minority is placed above the common good—nay, even above the survival of entire peoples, life forms and ecosystems.
We are surrounded by opportunities for both personal and cultural transformation. In this Myth Salon, with the help of Dr. Tellez, Vincent Stanzione, and others, we will explore the histories, narratives, results and problems of colonialism and what we can call “the colonial gaze,” which is the lens through which much of our contemporary worldview has been constructed. Whether considered from the English, European, or American perspectives, in the ideological matrix of cultural capitalism, Native American wisdom can only appear as the enemy.
