¡Colores!; Tribeca Hacks, Cannupa Hanska Luger, Michael Hudock

KNME-TV (Television station : Albuquerque, N.M.) · October 26, 2016

On location for “Tribeca Hacks ” hackathon at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, we follow a team that focuses on language preservation. “It’s not so much a language app or a language website. It’s more about people’s experience with their language, for people who are interested in preserving their culture and their language.” Santa Fe ceramicist Cannupa Hanska Luger creates playful, fierce, and fantastical creatures. “I find truth to be really rigid and fragile whereas honesty and sincerity have a level of pliability, plasticity, it’s flexible. It reminds me of storytelling, of more of an oral tradition than a written history.” Albuquerque’s Michael Hudock creates abstract paintings that are inspired by reality. “I’m attracted to surfaces that have been affected by the elements, by time, and they develop their own history.” Host: Hakim Bellamy. Guests: Leo Vicenti (Jicarilla Apache), Ras K’dee (Pomo/African), and Feather Metsch (Little Traverse Bay Band of Odawa Indians).
