“Blood Quantum” explores Native American perspectives on the colonial construct of Blood Quantum. This new body of work revolves around the creation of a new series of color portraits (2023-24) and accompanying interviews with my Native American collaborators. The overarching goal is to shed light on the diverse ways tribes recognize their members, the adverse impact of Blood Quantum on tribal sovereignty, and its effects on individual tribal members. Furthermore, I will create a thought-provoking zine, featuring an introduction by the esteemed tribal law professor Matthew Fletcher. The zine will be distributed for free at Ann Arbor’'s 50th Anniversary Powwow in March 2024.  In addition, to reach a wider audience, I will create a short video based on the interviews exploring the colonial concept of Blood Quantum and post the video on numerous social media platforms, Youtube and Vimeo.
