Indigenous Creatives Collective hosts artist residencies on the land we caretake in South Seattle. This September, our inaugural artist in residence Owen Oliver (Quinault / Isleta Pueblo) will present his site-responsive project.

Owen comes from the people of the Lower Columbia River, Salish Sea, and Southwest Pueblos of Isleta. He has a bachelor’s in American Indian Studies from the University of Washington and is currently pursuing a MFA in Creative Writing from the Institute of American Indian Arts. Owen will be composing a hybrid essay that amplifies the yəhaw̓ land through Salish & Chinook knowledge systems, wellness, language, and historical context. The essay will hone on the infancy of the plot and the reimagined futures of what kinship with the land looks like in urban Seattle.

Street parking is usually available, and we are near the Rainier Beach light rail station and bus stops. Snacks will be provided. Please email info@yehawshow.com with accessibility questions.
