Conceived 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 year-long Indigenous Digital Occupation. 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

STTLMNT maintains the ethos of Indigenization as well as the strategy of occupation. By reclaiming (digital) space as Indigenous people, we not only find ways to disseminate our post-colonial art works but we stake a radical, visionary claim on the future. You are invited in to experience this digital occupation, and as you do please practice respect and understanding. This is our work, our world vision, our heart, our future dreaming, our technology, our stories, our complexity, our resilience, our pain, our beauty, our art and our community. Together we hope to learn deeper and question further, ultimately dismantling the amnesia wrought by Colonialism.
