“The Healer’s Wound” is an artist’s book collaged by poet Dan Taulapapa McMullin based on their historical research in the queer cultures of their homeland Samoa and other Pacific Island countries.  The queer peoples of Polynesia formed societies of healers and traveling artists but these societies were suppressed during colonialism by America and Europe.  The book, through recovered images and texts, narrates the journeys of these indigenous queer cultures and how they came to continue to thrive today.  The exhibition includes large scale prints on canvas and works on paper.  

Window On Hudson will also be open to the public on Saturday, June 11, 2022 from 5-8pm as part of the 2econd Saturday Hudson Gallery Crawl
