Oglála Lakhóta artist, composer, and scholar Kite explores dreams through contemporary Lakhóta knowledge systems by incorporating digital and traditional technologies, performance, and collaboration. She practises methods that enable her to listen to “cosmologyscapes,” a concept drawn from scholar Jolene Rickard, encapsulating a worldview shaped by the relationship between body and spirit, land, and the cosmos. For Kite, dreams and visions are both material for creating art and a technology enabling her to listen to realms, ancestors, and nonhuman entities.
