A NATION IS A MASSACRE
Demian DinéYazhi’ & R.I.S.E.: Radical Indigenous Survivance & Empowerment
Portland Biennial 2019
DISJECTA | Portland, OR
24 August - 03 Nov 2019.
Curated by Yaelle S. Amir, Elisheba Johnson, & Ashley Stull Meyers.
”Death and grieving for Indigenous Peoples is like a war zone—a space unlike any other far removed from the ‘stars and stripes.’ We are expected to die without news headlines or revolution, and in this way we expect nothing; we accept death. It’s a slow death, but with the same urgency as endangerment or extinction or invasion, or an asteroid the size of england or complete and inevitable economic collapse. Even in our survival and resilience, we come to the table ready to protect the most sacred of human rights.”
—Demian DinéYazhi’
With its political aphorisms, all-caps fonts resembling newspaper headlines, and graphic images, A Nation is a Massacre resembles activist agitprop first popularized by Soviet Russia in the early 20th century and later adopted and refashioned by artists in the wheat-pasting tradition, like Jenny Holzer and the Guerilla Girls. Unlike these artistic forebears, who excluded Indigenous womxn and other Indigenous communities, DinéYazhi’ focuses exclusively on marginalized groups, noting that ‘The details are gruesome and american and as patriotic as gun violence and mass murder.’ A Nation is a Massacre considers over 500 years of mass shootings and massacre, missing and murdered Indigenous womxn, queers, trans, gender gradient/nonconforming, and two-spirit folx, and numerous instances of environmental racism/injustice ignored by citizens of a colonized country.

⚡️NEW T-Shirt ⚡️We love the joy and beauty Indigenous womxn bring to the community. @tishxrico (lead singer of the hardcore band@withxwar) was kind enough to model our newest re-release t-shirt from our subversive #DecolonizeFeminism series, which is a refusal to credit White Feminism as the basis of the Feminist movement in the colonized United States.
Indigenous Matriarchs/Feminists have resisted heterpatriarchal settler colonialism since 1492. Indigenous scholars posit that the first First Wavers and Suffragettes were actually influenced by Indigenous Matriarchs who were respected in their tribes at the time of colonial contact. Let’s not forget that the Queens of Europe were just as vicious and motivated by patriarchy as the Kings who tyrannized entire countries for centuries. It is no coincidence that contact with Indigenous Matriarchs would inspire this type of rebellion and crusade for equality.
.
Indigenous Diné Matriarch Juanita Manuelito, wife of Diné Chief Manuelito, is represented and honored on the image featured on the t-shirt.
