Bioneers 2025 Conference

Indigenous Forum – Art and Healing—A Conversation with Joy Harjo and Cara Romero 

Art in many forms is both a spiritual practice and survival skill for Indigenous peoples. Often described as a healing journey, Native people work through art practices to reconnect to ancestors and traditional knowledge, recover from intergenerational trauma, and find ways to support family and build economy in suppressed reservation living standards. In this intimate conversation, Joy Harjo and Cara Romero will discuss the creative process, inspirations and the importance of art and “artivism” in healing and resistance for Native peoples.

March 28th | 3:00 pm to 4:15 pm
