Unseen Territories 2026

Synopsis

Unseen Territories is a documentary and community-driven performance project that reimagines public space and the stories it carries. In Las Vegas, on Southern Paiute land, fourteen BIPOC artists challenge the colonial symbols that dominate the city, creating work that asserts identity, memory, and presence. The project treats artistic practice as a form of witness, showing how acts of creation can preserve histories and lived experiences that have long been marginalized. As the flags are made and brought into public view, they animate the landscape with joy, resilience, and pride, insisting that the complexity of these communities cannot be simplified or erased.
