JOIN US at BAXTER ST on Saturday, December 6 for the launch of 'PPI Issue #4: Material Acknowledgment: A Case Study in Environmental⁠ Learning' and 'PPI Issue #5: Input, Use, Stock, and Output' presented by Pratt Institute’s Photography Department⁠ and Dancing Foxes Press in partnership with Light Work,⁠ Syracuse, NY and BAXTER ST at the Camera Club of New York.⁠ •⁠ The event will take place from 2 PM - 5 PM with presentations at 3 PM by Jamie Kruse (Parsons, The New School, PT Assistant Professor, Sustainable Systems), John O’Toole (Pratt Institute, Technical Director of Photography), and Jennifer Williams, (Cooper Union, Head Technician in Photography and Adjunct Faculty).⁠ •⁠ Materials originate in the land and inevitably return to it; the⁠ word landscape speaks to many things, the landscapes of⁠ social, cultural, ecological, political, and poetic conditions⁠ among them.⁠ •⁠ PPI is a series published by Dancing Foxes Press and Pratt⁠ Institute through the Pratt Photography Imprint (PPI). In an⁠ age defined by the immaterial transmission and circulation⁠ of images, the Pounds Per Image (PPI) series makes⁠ research, scholarship, and practice the centerpiece of its⁠ gravity-bound mission. By commissioning artists, writers,⁠ curators, and other voices in the polyvocal field to produce⁠ original material about photography, PPI endeavors to make⁠ contributions to the discursive field beyond the walls of⁠ Pratt Institute.

📚Please join @forgeprojectny , @performance.space.new.york , and Dancing Foxes for an evening of readings, performance screenings, and discussion on occasion of the launch of the new publication “Native Visual Sovereignty: A Reader on Art and Performance.” With 48 contributors, newly commissioned essays and artist notes, 20 reprinted critical texts, and oral history interviews with leaders of the field, “Native Visual Sovereignty” is the first reader on contemporary Native art to use performance and performativity as its praxis. The book seeks to make the case that there is now a shift from sovereignty in a visual sense, to sovereignty in a performative sense. A reading by book editor, Candice Hopkins @candicebhopkins (Citizen of Carcross/Tagish First Nation), a conversation with Gloria Miguel (Guna/Rappahannock) and Muriel Miguel (Kuna/Rappahannock) of the legendary Spiderwoman Theater @spiderwomantheater , and a screening of DON’T MAKE ME OVER (2023) starring Arielle Twist @arielletwist (Nehiyaw [Cree]), the first theater work of Jeffrey Gibson @jeffrune (Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians and Cherokee), are the basis of the evening. The publication will be available for purchase in-person at the event. You can RSVP for November 11 on the Performance Space Website. If you cannot make it in person, you can watch a live stream on forgeproject.com. Native Visual Sovereignty is copublished by Dancing Foxes Press, in association with the Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College; Forge Project; MacKenzie Art Gallery; and SITE SANTA FE.

We are proud to announce “Native Visual Sovereignty: A Reader on Art and Performance”, edited by Candice Hopkins @candicebhopkins (Tlingit, citizen of Carcross/Tagish First Nation), Executive Director and Chief Curator at Forge Project and Fellow in Indigenous Art History and Curatorial Studies at Bard College. “Native Visual Sovereignty” traces a lineage of performance as a site of resistance, collectivity, and self-determination. This 560-page compendium features newly commissioned essays by Hopkins, asinnajaq, and Dylan Robinson; oral-history interviews with G. Peter Jemison, Rebecca Belmore, Spiderwoman Theater, and Theo Jean Cuthand; reprints of 20 significant essays and texts since 1969; and new contributions from artists and scholars across generations. Published by Dancing Foxes Press, Native Visual Sovereignty is a collaboration with Forge Project, Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College, MacKenzie Art Gallery, and SITE SANTA FE. The book is designed by Santiago da Silva and Ana Cecilia Breña of Stoodio da Silva. The book builds upon the exhibition “Indian Theater: Native Performance, Art, and Self-Determination since 1969,” curated by Hopkins, which premiered at the Hessel Museum of Art, CCS Bard (2023), traveling to the MacKenzie Art Gallery, Regina, Canada (2025) and SITE SANTA FE and the IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts (2026).

“In an essay, the curator Lumi Tan, who restaged ‘Pinwheel’ in 2019, smartly situates the documentation of Girouard’s performances as part of the artist’s desire to connect with broad audiences. This sense of foresight makes Girouard’s eclectic work a lively model for an approach that opens itself to influence while maintaining a commitment to the specificity of its source material. This important point is also articulated in curator Anaïs Duplan’s enlightening discussion of Girouard’s engagement with Haitian voodoo and the artistic collaborations she began with artists based in Port-au-Prince in the 1990s, a celebration of a broad Francophone legacy grounded in her own Cajun roots. Essays by Aruna D’Souza, Jordan Amirkhani, and Pamela M. Lee round out the volume, which includes an opening abecedarium detailing the important sites Girouard helped establish, and a poignant introduction by Andersson that positions Girouard’s ‘memory maps’ as both sigil and guide. Readers of this invaluable text can use these maps, and the rich ephemera of Girouard’s life and practice, to do what the artist herself had done from the very beginning: find a way to keep going forward with a strong sense of where we’ve come from.” Thank you @tausifnoor and @bookforum for this feature and beautiful read.

We are thrilled to announce the NY launch of the publication “Tina Girouard: SIGN-IN,” the first monograph of the Louisiana-born artist Tina Girouard (1945–2020), copublished with Rivers Institute for Contemporary Art & Thought. Featuring unpublished texts and images from Girouard’s personal archives and newly commissioned essays by Andrea Andersson, Jordan Amirkhani, Aruna D’Souza, Anaïs Duplan, Pamela M. Lee, and Lumi Tan, Tina Girouard: SIGN-IN emphasizes the artist’s movements between genres and geographies, and the ways in which she invested objecthood with meaning through ritual, performance, role-playing, and community participation from the 1970s until her death. A galvanizing member of artist-led communities and organizations, including the Anarchitecture Group, the interdisciplinary cohort of 112 Greene Street, FOOD restaurant, The Kitchen, P.S. 1, and the Festival International de Louisiane, Girouard’s practice indelibly shaped community-engaged, feminist craft, textile, performance, and video art of the last century and invested New York’s avant-garde of the 1960s and 1970s with ritual and vernacular knowledge of the American and Global South. We invite you to join us at CARA on Wednesday, October 1 at 7pm, when we will be in conversation with editors Andrea Andersson and Jordan Amirkhani and author Lumi Tan to discuss the spirit of collaboration and collage at work in this publication—beautifully designed by Julie Peeters and Scott Ponik—and how access to Girouard’s archives shaped the tone and sentiment. Advance copies of the book will be available to purchase on site. ⏳ Wednesday, October 1, 2025, 7 p.m. 📍 Center for Art, Research and Alliances (CARA), 225 West 13th Street, New York The event is free. RSVP encouraged at You can also preorder the book at or on the d.a.p. website.

Published on the occasion of his first survey in the United States in over 20 years at @CCSBard , Stan Douglas: Ghostlight, published by @Dancing_Foxes Press, charts the artist’s global influence across photography, film, and installation. Since the 1980s, Douglas has staged images of unresolved histories—moments of rupture, political tumult, and turning points that continue to shape the present. At the center of the exhibition is Douglas’s major new multichannel video, Birth of a Nation, which reimagines D. W. Griffith’s 1915 film of the same title, framed by four decades of rigorous work that asks us to “think historically in the present.” Tap to shop this title and learn more about the exhibition, on view through November 30, via the link in bio. — #StanDouglas #DavidZwirnerBooks #ArtistBooks #ArtCatalogues
