Da-ka-xeen Mehner will discuss how his work explores Indigenous identity and equity and examines power structures through the lens of personal narrative. He was born in Fairbanks, Alaska to a Tlingit/N'ishga mother and an American father and his work stems from an examination of multicultural heritage and social expectations and definitions.
