Richard Bell's Embassy is a fluid, conceptual artwork around the idea of sharing space and creating a platform for conversation with invited guest speakers. Beyond the Embassy’s presence as a tent, the work also collects video archives of the conversations that occur in the space, connecting each iteration of Embassy to previous ones (held around the world), creating a sort of global solidarity amongst Indigenous Peoples. Artist will be present.
