(Re)Source: Indigenous Practices + Lo-Fi Aesthetics

To celebrate the culmination of the exhibition, ojo|-|ólǫ, join Eric-Paul Riege with guest artists Olivia Camfield and Kole Galbraith for a multi-day convening of film screenings, performances, and conversations. Inspired by the modularity of Riege’s work in which materials and motifs are re-worked and re-imagined in perpetuity, the artists will explore how history and culture are neither static nor permanent. To close the convening, join Riege, Camfield, and Galbraith as they source new meanings from the sounds, materials, and images of both the past and present, challenging high art through lo-fi means.

Bios
Eric-Paul Riege (Diné) is a weaver and fiber artist working in collage, durational performance, installation, woven sculpture, and wearable art. Using weaving as both means and metaphor to tell hybrid tales that interlace stories from Diné spirituality with his own interpretations and cosmology, he understands his artworks as animate and mobile. His practice pays homage and links him to generations of weavers in his family who aid him in generating spaces of sanctuary. Riege’s recent solo exhibitions include iiZiiT [3]: RIEGE Jewelry + Supply at Canal Projects, New York (2025), Hammer Projects: Eric Paul Riege at the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2022–2023), and Hól ́ǫ—it xistz at the Institute of Contemporary Art Miami (2019). His recent group exhibitions include the 24th Biennale of Sydney in Australia (2024), Indian Theater: Native Performance, Art, and Self-Determination (2023), Prospect.5 Triennial in New Orleans (2022), and the Toronto Biennial of Art (2022). He holds a BFA in Art Studio and Ecology from the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. His work is collected by Forge Project and ICA Miami, among others. He is represented by Bockley Gallery (MN) and STARS Gallery (CA). Riege is a member of the Charcoal Streaked Division of the Red Running Into the Water clan. He was born and is based in Na’nízhoozhí [Gallup, New Mexico].

Olivia Camfield is a multimedia movement artist of the Muscogee Nation, born and raised in the Texas Hill Country. Their work finds connection of dance as body horror, tattooing as protection spells, and farming as Queer Indigenous Futurism. They have performed and choreographed dance for much of their career, and their film work includes themes of the Alien as kin, time traveling relatives, and Mvskoke lifeways in experimental forms. They are a tattoo artist whose hand poke practice is based in Southeastern and Mississippian Indigenous tattoo traditions, creating designs for Southeastern people that imagine the possibilities of those tattoos' into the future and the new shapes they may take. Since becoming a farmer in 2020, Olivia began the journey of becoming an Indigenous Seed Saver by learning seed saving techniques, researching historically stolen varieties, and participating in seed rematriation while working on farms. They are now finding the intersections of their artist practice and aesthetics and the ongoing work of Missisipian/Southeastern seed keeping. Olivia's films have screened internationally at Camden International Film Festival, Ann Arbor Film Festival, ImagineNATIVE Film and Media Arts Festival, and have appeared in print and online publications including ArtForum and Variety. Olivia was a 2018-2019 Alembic Artist In Residence, CYCLE I featured artist of COUSIN Collective, and 2022 Sundance Institute Indigenous Non-Fiction Intensive participant, and a 2022 NACF LIFT awardee.

Kole Galbraith is a multi-disciplinary artist who focuses on sound, audio-visual, and found-object installation. Based in both Seattle, Washington and Tartu, Estonia, Kole Galbraith has been active in the underground experimental music community for the past decade performing throughout the West Coast of the United States and Europe. Sonically his sonic studio compositions are informed by early 20th century French musique-concrète, metal, jazz and contemporary composition. Thematically, the compositions are influenced by interior Salish folklore, and contemporary indigenous experience. Galbraith mixes using materials found in nature with electronic techniques to uncover both latent sonic capabilities and to uncover latent histories. Galbraith has released albums on his own label, Obscure & Terrible, and other labels such as SIGE and Titania Tapes. Kole Galbraith is an enrolled member of the Peoria Tribe of Oklahoma.
