I am pleased to announce the University of Miami Libraries Indigenous Studies Group presentation by Durante Blais-Billie: Exoticization in Collecting Institutions: Confronting the Façade of Representation in Colonial Knowledge Systems and Creating Tactics for Indigenous Agency

Durante Blais-Billie is a Two-Spirit member of the Seminole Tribe of Florida. Durante holds an M.A. in art history and management from the University of St. Andrews and has formerly served their tribe as the assistant director of the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum. They have also acted as a cultural representative and ambassador for their community under the title Miss Florida Seminole.

Durante's work focuses on reclaiming Indigenous knowledge systems through Native-led education with the central mission of de-colonial healing. They are dedicated to exploring the intersections of Seminole identity, Indigenous knowledge, and Seminole visual culture. They utilize their lived experience and the knowledge gifted to them by their community to negotiate what ‘art history’ truly looks like for their people.

Thank you,

Gilda Santana
