About
The Y-intersection of 9I制作厂免费鈥檚 Downtown Campus is being redesigned as of 2025 to include Indigenous art and culture, with a central focus on Kanien鈥檏eh谩:ka history and themes. This initiative aims to create a functional gathering space that challenges Western ways of thinking by thoughtfully integrating Indigenous worldviews, art, and culture throughout the space. This initiative is in response to Call #26 鈥� Indigeneity in public space at 9I制作厂免费.
Within this initiative, OII is making an emphasis on ethical collaboration with Indigenous partners throughout the entire process. The creation of an advisory council including community members, elders, and members of the OII team gather to provide advice and ensure work and art integration proceeds in a good way. There is a priority on Indigenous artistry, purchases, and voices within the process. This project is also in collaboration with Alanah Jewell, a young Indigenous artist who designed the artwork being implemented at the intersection.
