Welcome To He Sapa You Are On Stolen Land

Oglala Lakota artist Marty Two Bulls Jr.’s billboard borrows the familiar look of a vintage tourist postcard, filling the letters of “He Sapa” with tribal flags and greeting viewers with “Welcome to He Sapa. You’re on Stolen Land.” The artwork affirms Indigenous presence and sovereignty while inviting residents and visitors to recognize the Black Hills as a sacred, living homeland.

cibARMI

In this unique moment, participants were invited to join us in a shared dinner that embraces diversity and promotes inclusion. In the evocative setting of the Church of San Giovanni in Casciago, on the occasion of the exhibition “No Form, No Substance” by artist Daniele di Luca, participants had the opportunity to sit across from migrants from our local community. The performative action consisted of an invitation to feed each other, not with a spoon, a utensil used for weaning, but with a fork, which could also become a weapon. Participants were asked to trust the stranger and take care of them.
