The University of Utah Global Change & Sustainability Center and UtahPresents invite applications from faculty and students to be part of a cohort of ~6-10 interdisciplinary scholars engaging with All My Relations performance collective (AMR). The cohort, including faculty and students from a wide range of research perspectives, will meet during Spring and Summer 2022 as the AMR collective develops their immersive and multimedia performance GIZHIBAA GIIZHIG | Revolving Sky, exploring the intersections of science and sacred knowledge and creating a lens to view indigiqueerness and the current climate crisis.

The University of Utah cohort will develop and share original research with the AMR team to explore interdisciplinary connections and personal narratives. The cohort will meet three times (virtually) in the Spring 2022 semester and gather for an intensive in-person collaboration with the members of AMR July 15-18, 2022 at the Taft Nicholson Center in Centennial Valley, Montana (see https://taft-nicholson.utah.edu/).

Specific participant contributions will be defined as the collaboration unfolds. Each scholar that participates fully is offered $500.

GIZHIBAA GIIZHIG | Revolving Sky will be presented at the University of Utah in Spring 2023.

Faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate students from all disciplines are encouraged to apply. Applications due January 31, 2022. Applications will be reviewed by partner leaders, and scholars will be notified of selection by February 11, 2022.
