Resumo

As exposições das artistas Jude Norris e Nadia Myre apresentam a ecologia cívica indígena como relações multifacetadas com os aimais e a terra.  Estas perspectivas traduzem a cidadania liberal e a sociedade civil como  visões da ecologia cívica indígena, transmitindo práticass relacionais afins.  A teórica Winnibago Renya Ramirez enfatiza a emoção, os relacionamentos, o cuidado e as noções de pertença como aspectos de gênero da cidadania nativa que excedem e incomodam a lógica liberal. As obras de arte de Norris e de Myres extendem a discussão centrada no humano de Ramirez para modelos de ecologia cívica. Tais trabalhos ampliam a teoria de cidadania nativa translocal de Ramirez numa perspectiva materialista indigenista (Kalbfliesch, 2014), mostrando, ao mesmo tempo, como estas teorias do novo materialismo na história da arte e nos estudos de tradução se mantêm colonialistas por não focalizarem o conhecimento indígena.
