Nana Kesse, Fellow, The National Endowment for the Humanities, Assistant Professor of African History, Clark University

Nana Kesse is a historian of Africa at Clark University and a Fellow of the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). He specializes in the histories of water and the environment, slavery and the Atlantic slave trade, as well as the social and cultural history of West Africa. His research covers the last four centuries, focusing on the intricate relationships between humans, animals, and bodies of water in West Africa and how these connections have shaped the history of the region. Kesse is currently completing his book manuscript titled, Living with Water: Aqua-culture, Environment, and Slavery in West Africa, which examines the social and environmental history of Nzulezo, the only stilt-house community on water in Ghana and one of the few in Africa with a history dating back to the seventeenth century. His other scholarly works on the transatlantic slave trade and the African environment have appeared in peer-reviewed journals and other popular venues, including the International Journal of African Historical Studies and the global history podcast “Fascinating People, Fascinating Places.” These projects have generously been funded by competitive grants and fellowships, including the NEH Fellowships, Woodrow Wilson Fellowship, Fulbright-Hays Fellowship, and the Otumfuo Fellowship, awarded by the King of the Asante Kingdom in Ghana.

Treaty Art: The Visual Geographies of Expressive Citizenship

This talk explores the iconography of treaties in contemporary art practices in the context of one hundred years of the Indian Citizenship Act. The Act itself centers on the human and the closing of the co-constitutive power of the US and Canadian territorial sovereignty. The act attempts to domesticates Indians—and our lands– as citizens under the shroud of American Legal territorial sovereignty, moving Indigenous lands to the purview of the secretary of the Interior in the US and under the patriarchy of the Indian Act in Canada. In contrast to this moment, artists have long depicted an alternative vision of the relationship between belonging and land that exceeds settler borders and their colonial premises. I will examine examples of the reconfiguration of forms of territorial sovereignty through art practices that rethink land and relationships not only between landed points but also in relation to other humans and more-than-humans. How do contemporary art practices create not only a sense of belonging but also a sense of reciprocity and responsibility? How is a “sea to shining sea” affective regime of belonging disrupted by the visual impact of Indigenous artists who address colonization and forms of settler structures of belonging that are often gendered practices? What might we gain from examining public art and other built environments where the subtlety of assertion of treaty rights, existing before the 1924 act, is not so apparent to a North American public but is the iconography that creates a sense of belonging from those in reciprocal relationships with Indigenous Nations? How does expressive citizenship creatively refuse a hundred years of settler citizenship and disrupt colonial geographies based on patriarchal property logics?
