To conclude his year-long residency at the ArtLab, musician Frank Waln will create a participatory gathering of music and storytelling intended for healing and inspired by elements of Lakota culture. Native students and staff from Harvard will join Frank for this public gathering.

As part of We Gather in the Spring to Help in our Healing / Waná Wétu Owíčhota Owášta, Frank Waln will premiere a new song that he has written to honor the complex and disturbing ways that his own family’s Lakota history is intertwined with the history of Harvard University’s anthropological collections and colonialism.

Frank Waln or Oyate Teca Obmani (“Walks with Young People”) is an award-winning Sicangu Lakota Hip Hop artist and music producer from the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota. Frank uses his music to speak about social issues and injustices affecting the Native community and as a method for healing.
