Delisted is a project by Jennifer Calkins (she/they/Dr.) about living beings delisted from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s “Lists of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants” due to presumed extinction. The implications of becoming “delisted” are complicated and, unfortunately, familiar for Indigenous communities and ecosystems. In collaboration with Jennifer Calkins and several other artist participants, Art 25 investigates our relationship with a plant relative endemic to Hawai’i: so-called Phyllostegia glabra var. laniensis through ceremony and ancestral invocation. We bring the embodiment of our cultural traditions and our creative imaginings as one response to government-sanctioned erasure, as an effort toward our collective healing. Learn more about Delisted.
