Join Guild Hall Community Artists-in-Residence, Wunetu Wequai Tarrant, and the members of Ayim Kutoowonk (She Speaks), a Shinnecock language revitalization collective, as they discuss the formation of Ayim Kutoowonk and the works they developed, currently on view in Guild Hall’s exhibition, First Literature Project.
Ayim Kutoowonk (She Speaks) is a collective of three Indigenous Shinnecock Women, Cholena Boyd-Smith, Kaysha Haile, and Ahanu Valdez, working towards the reclamation and revitalization of the Shinnecock Language. Facilitated by Shinnecock Linguist, Wunetu Wequai Tarrant, and guest lecturers, Christina Tarrant, and Kaylene Big Knife, Ayim Kutoowonk works to bridge the divide between academic linguistics training and contemporary Indigenous culture, easing anxieties and building a language-learner focused pedagogy through multi-media projects and learning tools. The collective was founded in Spring 2023 as part of Guild Hall’s Community Artist-in-Resident program, sponsored by the Library of Congress’s Connecting Communities Digital Initiative.
The conversation is moderated by Shinnecock writer, actor, storyteller, and Guild Hall Academy of the Arts Member, Andrina Wekontash Smith.

Creative Lab is a series of interdisciplinary workshops designed and led by Guild Hall’s Visiting, Exhibiting, and Resident artists. Each Creative Lab invites participants to learn about an artist’s practice through an open lecture and a participatory workshop.
This evening’s Lab is led by thread-artist, Sal Salandra. Salandra’s highly detailed narrative thread paintings combine themes of repression, liberation, masculinity, worship, and identity, with personal history, and pop culture – confronting the viewer with joy, fear, pleasure, and eccentricities imbued in fetish. Salandra has presented a solo show at Club Rhubarb, and his works have been acquired by well-known collectors, Beth Rudin DeWoody, and architect Charles Renfro, and the Tom of Finland Foundation.
The Lab will focus on Salandra’s thread painting practice, including a hands-on introduction to his creative process.
This Creative Lab is programmed in tandem with the Guild Hall Exhibitions Spin a Yarn and Ted Carey: Queer As Folk.
Copies of Sal Salandra’s book, Iron Halo, are available for purchase in advance and in-person only while supplies last.
