Tulsa Artist Fellowship welcomes our community to a screening of the short film “We Only Answer Our Land Line” by Woodrow Hunt and Olivia Camfield, followed by a discussion with Tulsa Artist Fellow Suzanne Kite. “We Only Answer Our Land Line” is a spectacular experimental essay film exploring the character of the alien, nonlinear Indigenous experience, and material specificity of digital video to resist colonialism.

Olivia Camfield and Woodrow Hunt have been creative collaborators for the past two years. Separately, Olivia Camfield is a multimedia movement artist from the Mvskoke nation. Olivia’s work focuses on the intricacies of mixed-Indigenous identities, promoting Indigenous futurism, and the continued education of all settlers on the systematic erasing of Indigenous People, languages, sacred sites, and ancestral life ways. Olivia is currently a member of Dancing Earth Creations. Woodrow Hunt is a Klamath, Modoc and Cherokee artist. His work focuses on experimental films which explore the functions and relationship between digital video and memory. His production company Tule Films works within the Indigenous community of Portland, Oregon specifically in education.

Her research is concerned with contemporary Lakota ontologies through research-creation, computational media, and performance practice. Recently, Kite has been developing a body interface for movement performances, carbon fiber sculptures, immersive video & sound installations. Currently, she is a 2019 Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation Scholar and 2020-2021 Tulsa Artist Fellow.
