Description

When the raw emotion of our heritage bleeds into the canvas of our present, the art that emerges is nothing short of mesmerizing. That's what we discovered as we sat down with Nicholas Galanin, an artist whose Tlingit and Unanga roots are as integral to his work as the paint on his palette. His story, a testament to the enduring spirit of indigenous peoples, weaves through his art, capturing hearts and minds along the way. Nicholas delves into the profound relationship between his cultural identity and his artistic expression, offering listeners a window into his soul-stirring project, "In Every Language there's Land." His perspective on material selection, not just as a choice but as a statement, lays bare the entangled history of colonialism and the resilience of native narratives.The podcast's rhythm changes as we explore the multifaceted life of Nicholas, a man juggling the callings of both artist and father. With his children as his muse, he shares the delicate dance of managing various creative pursuits while maintaining the sacred essence of his family's artistic lineage. Whether he's crafting visual masterpieces, composing music with his band the Outseen, or dreaming up scores for the silver screen, Nicholas's journey is a testament to the power of evolution in art. And as he looks to the future with plans for exhibitions and a yearning for new mediums that speak to him, we're reminded that every stroke, every note, is a chapter in his ongoing story, one that continues to unfold with passion and purpose. Join us for this intimate exploration of art, family, and the enduring echo of ancestral voices.
