From #TurtleIsland to #Palestine: #Denver Commemorates #Nakba

"#DanielleSeeWalker, #StandingRockLakota, was told by the town of #VailColorado, that her artist residency for a mural and workshop was cancelled. SeeWalker said she received a phone call after her artwork, 'G is For #Genocide,' shown here, was printed in a limited edition for support for humanitarian aid to #Gaza. Vail's represenative called SeeWalker and said, 'We don't want to align ourselves with an artist like you, who is too political, and especially somebody who is publically aligning themselves with Hamas.' During the Healing Event in Denver on Wednesday, SeeWalker said Vail is silencing artists of color and the freedom to voice opinions. SeeWalker said, 'I was extremely shocked,' adding that Vail immediately shut down the conversation. 'Standing up for our Indigenous Palestinian relatives, that are going through some trauma right now, is not aligning ourselves with terrorism,' she said, '#FreePalestine.' -- #CensoredNews
