Dana Claxton, 'Ablakela'

March 31, 2025

Ablakela, meaning 'calm' in the Lakota language, is a performance work by Dana Claxton, accompanied by Peyote Singers Johnny Mike and Verdell Primeaux of The Native American Church. The performance employs a large video projection of Claxton braiding grass live accompanied by singing, drumming, and rattle music by Mike and Primeaux, and explores Lakota spirituality and healing within a performance art context. Curated by Glenn Alteen, the live performance was later released as an enhanced CD-ROM project featuring performance video and stills and writing by Alteen and Lakota anthropologist Dr. Beatrice Medicine.
