Buffalo returned to the streets of New York City 🦬

Through “Return of the Buffalo: Tatanka Owe Akupi,” life-size buffalo puppets moved through the city in a public art experience created by Amir Nizar Zuabi and conceived in partnership with Elders of the Lenape and Lakota Tribes.

The project was inspired by the buffalo’s return from near extinction to repopulation, a story that continues through the leadership of Tribal Nations and Indigenous communities working to restore buffalo populations, cultural relationships and the ecosystems connected to them.

Trees have long carried meaning in art as symbols of grief, endurance, memory, beauty and change.

From Monet’s weeping willows to Courbet’s oak and Persian manuscript paintings where cypress trees carry deep symbolic meaning, artists have helped us see trees as more than scenery.

As we think about the future of forests, that perspective matters. Forests are living systems that support water, wildlife, communities and culture.

Racism in clinic algorithms can have a destructive impact on the health outcomes of people of color. Black women have an 80% prevalence of fibroids, which can result in a false negative from the clinical algorithm used to evaluate ultrasounds and detect signs of uterine cancer.

That means that 10% of Black women with endometrial cancers were being falsely reassured that they did not have it – an awful example of racial bias in medicine hurting health outcomes for Black women.

Official clinic guidelines for detecting uterine cancer through ultrasounds were just updated this summer, partly due to original research by Dr. Kemi Doll.

Listen to her full podcast on this groundbreaking research and her work to improve outcomes for Black women by reducing racial bias in clinic algorithms.

Get early access to the New York City premiere and Q&A for Traces of Home, a film directed by Colette Ghunim — one of the recipients of the Building Bridges Documentary Fund.

Traces of Home documents the journeys with Colette’s parents to find the ancestral houses they were forced to flee as children in Mexico and Palestine. What begins as a search for family history and cultural connection becomes a deeply personal journey exploring identity, displacement, belonging, and the meaning of home.

The screening will take place at the Angelika Film Center on September 16, 2026 at 6:30 PM and 7:00pm.
Tickets available at the link in bio!

Indigenous-led conservation is helping protect biodiversity across lands and waters — from buffalo restoration to Klamath salmon habitat and cultural burning.

Rooted in deep relationships with place, cultural knowledge and practices passed across generations, this work shows why Indigenous leadership belongs at the center of conservation.

This Labor Day, we’re reflecting on Creative Labor, Creative Conditions and the artists, cultural workers and communities who have gathered across the country this year.

The national campaign asks what it takes for artists to pursue art as labor — and what conditions, resources and support are needed for creative work to thrive.

The national tour isn't over yet! The final activation takes place Sept. 17–18 in Boston with Company One Theatre, Boston Public Library and DDF. Learn more at the link in bio.
