Broken Boxes Projects
Broken Boxes is now broadcasting with Atomic Culture for Radio Coyote:

Forge Project is an initiative to support leaders in culture, education, food security, and land justice. Forge exists as a platform for people and organizations whose crucial work serves the social and cultural landscape of our shared communities through a fellowship program, a teaching farm developed in partnership with Sky High Farm, grants to community organizations, and a lending art collection.
Broken Boxes was invited to provide the Forge Project with community introductions and acquisition consultation for their collection in preparation for their public launch in 2021.

Article: 5 Questions Raven Chacon about Radio Coyote
Broken Boxes is proud to be an accomplice in supporting over 30 artists for the International project STTLMNT: An Indigenous Digital World Wide Occupation
Conceived by Indigenous artist Cannupa Hanska Luger as a month-long Indigenous led encampment in Central Park, Plymouth, UK, Settlement was to take place summer of 2020 within the context of the Mayflower 400 commemoration events. In the face of the Covid-19 pandemic and with over two years of planning, we have pivoted away from onsite engagement. In the spirit of survivance, we have reimagined this monumental site-specific project as STTLMNT, an innovative Indigenous Digital Occupation through 2021 and beyond. Participating artists have gracefully adapted their projects as a succession of online artworks, performances, artist discussions, social engagements, and films. Presented for one year, this new work invites global audiences to have meaningful interaction with the Indigenous people of North America and the Pacific.
“As an accomplice, I am proud to support this project which is actively dismantling contemporary colonization and patriarchy while aligning Indigenous centered dreams of future sovereignty, providing space for complexity of Indigeniety to exist. I am humbled to support in creating this digital platform, a space where we all may be in solidarity, to connect, find deeper relationship to each other and explore Indigenous artwork and thought on the terms of the artist, providing an opportunity for us all to become more respectful in the global perception of Indigenous people."
-Ginger Dunnill, Settlement/STTLMNT US Producer
