Dakota Camacho: MALI’E — higher infinite power healing our people

movement . activation . lyrics . intuition . evocation .

MALI'E is an ongoing investigation into the contemporary expressions of the ancestors.

A call-and-response to the spirit of the griot. It’s research towards spiritual solidarity oriented towards relationship and responsibility. How do we approach hip hop as a sacred space?

Born and raised in Coast Salish Territory, Dåkot-ta Alcantara-Camacho's work weaves knowing from both their bloodlines and the diverse lineages that inform their indigenizing journey. Dåkot-ta grounds their creativity in ancestral life ways to span the realms of ritual activation, performance art, installation, contemporary indigenous movement, and cultural responsibility.
