Within the iron-caged walls of an impressive house-shaped structure, Kinya Ishikawa has been recycling thousands of old pottery pieces and other trinkets, creating a monumentally delicate piece that simultaneously lends itself and borrows from its surrounding landscape.

Storytelling, as a methodology rooted in Indigenous ways of knowing, is also a way to decolonize approaches to research.
