Summer Intern
About The Chapter House
The Chapter House provides a space for Indigenous Peoples and allies to appreciate art, convene and collaborate, celebrate individual and shared Indigenous cultures, and explore the complexities of the 21st Century Indigenous experience. This is a space for Indigenous empowerment and community, but all who share a desire for universal empowerment are welcome here.
Founded in 2020 at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, we started entirely online. In our first year, we hosted virtual panel discussions, artist lectures, poetry nights, concerts, film screenings, weaving demonstrations, community arts nights, and an online exhibition featuring works from 45 artists. In October 2021, we held our first in-person events at our month-long REZidency on Tongva Land (so-called Los Angeles, CA).
