Food Sovereignty

11x17, risograph print. 2022

This piece was the fourth of four to be created throughout the 2022 One Water Artist Residency. It tells the story of Indigenous food sovereignty movements in the Madison area, specifically in the Badfish Creek watershed, the mouth of which is created by effluent from the Nine Springs Wastewater Treatment Plant. It was created in collaboration with food sovereignty activists and farmers in the Madison area. In the style of ledger art created by Plains nations, the design is risograph printed on a page of the plans for the Nine Springs Wastewater Treatment Plant, and the river is created by a photo of Badfish Creek taken by me.
