DESCRIPTION:Asilomar State Beach and Conference Grounds is pleased to invite the public 
 to view a selection of short films that explore the cultural practices and 
 personal stories of local and regional Indigenous community members, 
 including Indigenous perspectives on climate change and traditional 
 stewardship. A discussion with the artist/film maker Kirti Bassendine and 
 local Indigenous leaders follows the screening, which will take place in 
 the historical, Julia Morgan-designed Grace H. Dodge Chapel 
 Auditorium.\n\nFollowing its debut at the de Young Museum in San Francisco, 
 photographer and filmmaker Kirti Bassendine brings her important work to 
 the Monterey Peninsula. “As an artist, Kirti is intrigued by human 
 relationships – especially how they impact the discovery of identity and 
 belonging within one’s culture and the wider world. By bringing… 
 Indigenous voices together, she creates a unique experience for audiences 
 to engage with these ideas themselves.” 
 (https://www.famsf.org/exhibitions/contemporary-indigenous-voices)\n\nEach 
 short film is a vignette about an Indigenous leader from California’s 
 South Coast Range, which reaches from the Santa Francisco peninsula through 
 the Santa Cruz Mountains, the Monterey Bay, and the lower Salinan Valley, 
 and “highlights cultural connections between Indigenous people and their 
 ancestral lands.”\n\nThese topics are timely because, in Bassendine’s 
 words, “…Rematriation, Land Back, is a big conversation. “We are 
 here, we have always been here,” is the fundamental message.” 
 (https://www.famsf.org/stories/q-a-contemporary-indigenous-voices-kirti-bassendine)\n\nFollowing 
 the screening, artist/film maker Kirti Bassendine and regional Indigenous 
 leaders will host a discussion with the audience.\n\nThis event is free and 
 open to the public; reserve your seats
