POSTCOMMODITY

Postcommodity was formed around 2007 by Nathan Young, Kade Twist, and me. We each came from very different creative backgrounds. At the time, I had the most experience exhibiting and producing artwork, as well as managing the practical aspects that come with that. Kade was working in political consulting and policy, while Nathan was producing films for Native communities. Both Kade and Nathan were also involved in sound and noise music, and it was through that network that we met the artist Raven Chacon.

This was the first group of like-minded instigators I truly connected with. Together, we began shaping a collective Indigenous perspective aimed at challenging the global market, dominant belief systems, and the accelerating forces of colonization.

This early period of collaboration represents the core of what I contributed to Postcommodity.
