Long Con is a series of conversations between Director Sterlin Harjo and Artist Cannupa Hanska Luger about life, art, film, history and everything in between - informally shared from the lens of two contemporary Native American artists and friends actively participating in the record of the 21st century.

The conversation takes us into the beginning of Harjo’s relationship to Native art rom childhood, through experiences within the Native art market with his peers and into Harjo’s experience in meeting up with Luger in Plymouth, UK to film. We also hear about Harjo’s poetic and visionary approach to the choices he made for Love & Fury’s aesthetic and storyline and Harjo talks about his upcoming exciting TV series with Taika Waititi, Reservation Dogs. Sterlin is an incredible storyteller and we are grateful to share his perspective with you here.

We hope you enjoy listening in to this conversation as much as we enjoyed having it. More info: www.sttlmnt.org/projects/love-and-fury

About the film Love & Fury:

Filmmaker Sterlin Harjo follows Native artists as they navigate their careers in the US and abroad. The film explores the immense complexities each artist faces of their own identity as Native artists, as well as, advancing Native art into a post-colonial world.

DIRECTORS NOTE: “The film is a conversation that I’ve wanted to have for a long time. Native art has been shackled to history by a false vision of what Native people are through the settler gaze of our current reality. I wanted to make something bold and in your face, directly putting up a finger to the shackles of the art world and historic representation of our people. We are diverse, we are dark, we are beautiful and so is our artwork. We are human beings.” - Sterlin Harjo
