You are invited to the opening of A NATION IS A MASSACRE Demian DinéYazhi´ & R.I.S.E.: Radical Indigenous Survivance & Empowerment Thursday, May 17th, 2018, 7-9PM Pioneer Works | 3rd Flood Galleries 159 Pioneer St | Red Hook, Brooklyn, NY

- A Nation is a Massacre, the first New York institutional solo exhibition by artist and activist initiative R.I.S.E.: Radical Indigenous Survivance & Empowerment and Demian DinéYazhi’, its founder, provides a space aimed at creating awareness about ongoing inhumane acts of settler-induced violence against Indigenous bodies. Utilizing Pioneer Works’ risograph machine, which in operation and aesthetic resembles silkscreen, DinéYazhi’ will be producing a wall-based montage of text and image-based posters on-site. With their political aphorisms, all-caps fonts resembling newspaper headlines, and graphic images and colors, they resemble activist agitprop first popularized by Soviet Russia in the early 20th Century and later adopted and refashioned by artists in the wheat-pasting tradition, like Jenny Holzer and the Guerilla Girls. . Unlike these artistic forebears, however, who excluded Indigenous womxn and other Indigenous communities, DinéYazhi’ focuses exclusively on these marginalized groups, noting that, “The details are gruesome and american and as patriotic as gun violence and mass murder. A Nation Is a Massacre considers over 500 years of mass shootings and massacre, missing and murdered indigenous womxn, queers, trans, gender gradient/nonconforming, and two spirit folx, and numerous instances of environmental racism/injustice that continue to be ignored by citizens of a colonized country.” The show runs from May 17th - July 8th, 2018. - #ANationIsAMassacre #RISEindigenous #IndigenousArt #PioneerWorks #NativeArt

Some people that I see all the time, I've never seen them in the daylight. What if they're not people until the night?

New York cherry company pleads guilty to marijuana, environmental charges

A New York City cherry company pleaded guilty on Tuesday to criminal charges of marijuana possession stemming from plants growing in the business's Brooklyn basement and to dumping waste into city sewers, prosecutors said. The pleas came seven months after investigators raided Dell's Maraschino Cherries, based in Red Hook, Brooklyn, and the company's owner committed suicide in a bathroom at the facility. The company will pay $1.2 million, including $130,000 in cash seized from the premises, and pleaded guilty to marijuana possession and failing to monitor wastewater dumped into the nearby New York Harbor, the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office said. http://dlvr.it/CDxcF5
