Sky Hopinka: Dislocation Blues
August – December 2024
Nancy Hyatt Liddle Gallery
This short film, presented as a wall-sized projection, documents the 2016–2017 Standing Rock protests against the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline that would poison water resources, destroy ancestral burial grounds, and violate Indigenous national sovereignty. The Indigenous voices heard in the film provide an important counterpoint to official narratives represented in the film by U.S. government surveillance drones and a news media presence.
