ENTANGLEMENT

An artist book created by Laura Callen, Camden Richards and Kirk Frye

On Sunday, 11/17, UUCB and community members gathered in the Fireside Room to witness and participate in an amazing presentation of the artist book, Entanglement, created by local authors and artists, Laura Callen, Camden Richards and Kirk Frye.

Entanglement, hand made largely from locally-sourced natural materials and arriving in a large wooden box, is a book, sculpture and an experience, engaging thought, senses and imagination.  It invites us to to be curious about the land we are on and how we’ve arrived there.  “Who are the Indigenous people of that place?”  (If you live in the Bay Area, you live in the territory of the Lisjan Nation people.)  ”What does it mean to live on stolen Indigenous land in the 21st century?”

You can find more information about Entanglement here.  Laura and Camden are members of Good Guest Kensington, a group which supports the “community to live in right relationship with the Lisjan Nation.”  You can access their website & newsletter here for resources, events and actions to take in support of the Lisjan Nation people and Indigenous communities.
