Artists like Keli Gonzales play a crucial role in helping our communities envision futures they once thought unimaginable. Our fourth series of Inchunwa focuses on highlighting artists who significantly impact the revitalization movement. These artists showcase ancestral tattoos in contemporary contexts.

In this episode, we share our interview with Keli and reflect on her work. We also highlight our experiences with other artists, including Roy Bonney, Hotvlkuce Harjo, and Dustin Mater, who were among the first southeastern artists we encountered incorporating hereditary tattoos into their art. Through their creativity, we witnessed contemporary empowerment, which marked a turning point for our project.
