SUMMARY:Brewing a Boycott Book Talk with Dr. Allyson Brantley
DESCRIPTION:Allyson P. Brantley will discuss her book\, Brewing a Boycott: How a Grassroots Coalition Fought Coors and Remade American Consumer Activism (published with the University of North Carolina Press in 2021).  \n\n\n\nBrewing a Boycott tells the story of one of the longest-running consumer boycotts in U.S. history\, the boycott of Coors beer. From the 1950s to the 1990s\, union members\, progressive students\, Black and Latinx activists\, Native Americans\, feminists\, and members of the LGBTQ+ community built powerful coalitions to challenge the alleged anti-unionism\, discrimination\, and conservative politics of Coors Brewing Company and the Coors family.  \n\n\n\nBrantley will discuss this exciting history and explore the significance of the consumer boycott as a solidarity-building tool and an expression of First Amendment rights of speech\, assembly\, and petition. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister for the Zoom Event \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Allyson P.

SUMMARY:Art as Activism: Indigenous Artists' Responses to Nuclear Exposure
DESCRIPTION:This presentation focuses on international Indigenous artists’ responses to the impacts of nuclear testing\, accidents\, and uranium mining on their communities and the environment. Manuela Well-Off-Man\, chief curator at the IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts in Santa Fe\, New Mexico\, will present. \n\n\n\nIndigenous artists from Australia\, Canada\, Greenland\, Japan\, French Polynesia (Tahiti)\, and the United States with American Samoa and Guam combine tribal knowledge with Indigenous and contemporary art as a visual strategy to address the long-term effects of nuclear exposure. \n\n\n\nThere are over five hundred abandoned uranium mines and mills on Navajo Nation and Pueblo lands in New Mexico alone\, and most of them are unmarked. Native American miners worked in the uranium mines without any protective equipment and have been living in houses constructed from contaminated material\, exposed to toxic winds and polluted water. Many of them have died because of uranium-related illness. Exposure to uranium and nuclear poisoning is a serious issue for Indigenous communities worldwide.  \n\n\n\nThe talk takes a closer look at the creative responses of these international Indigenous artists to this deadly legacy. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister for the Zoom Event \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Manuela Well-Off-Man\n\n\n\nManuela Well-Off-Man is an art historian and chief curator at the IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts in Santa Fe\, New Mexico.  \n\n\n\nShe previously served as curator at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and at the Montana Museum of Art and Culture.
