portals — with coulee ross
“We’re not going to make a mountain a dead thing with our word. We are going to greet it by its name. It is our kin. It is alive.”
This episode opens with a dreamy narration by Coulee Ross that moves into a conversation between Coulee and Jamie-Leigh. Through auditory exploration, Coulee lands us in a world where all beings inherently belong. In the follow up conversation, they look at how ongoing colonialism challenges the narrative of belonging and how reciprocity and kinship are salves we can use across time and space.
