"Everything I Say is True"

Saturday, October 19, 2019

Annex, Vancouver, BC, Canada

Everything I Say Is True is a multi-media performance work by Southern California-based, Oglala/Lakota artist Kite, aka Suzanne Kite. In the performance Kite constructs a complex narrative through the use of her own family’s ephemera and historical documents as well as through a new body of work in various mediums, including video, sound and sculpture. Everything I Say Is True considers concepts of truth in relation to Oglala Lakota knowledge systems.

This piece was commissioned by the Walter Phillips Gallery at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity and was curated by Jacqueline Bell.
