About the Stream

The Indigenous Gulf Stream is a New Media biennial which celebrates contemporary Indigenous content in the Gulf South by licensing relevant and innovative interviews, art, and media created by Gulf South Indigenous creators to be shown in the stream.

The commissioned content is assembled into a 24-hour public live stream. The stream will begin at midnight, and continue for the duration of Sunday, Nov 9th 2025. The event is free and can be accessed by anyone online. (Watch the Stream Here).

The project is nothing without the audience. We encourage you to consider tuning in at some point during that day to listen to the voices and stories. We really encourage you to do something you truly enjoy while listening - that could be making art, going for a walk, having a party, or hanging around with those you enjoy. We would love for you or your organizations to self-organize watch parties (Hosting a Watch Party).

"Gulf South Indigenous"

The event commissions members of Indigenous Gulf South communities (living locally or globally) and members of Turtle Island Indigenous communities currently living in and having a relation with the Gulf South to share art, music, sound, and media which celebrates their experiences, emotions, worldviews, interests, and thoughts.

"Content"

This content is anything. We encourage experiments. It includes interview, art, information, or screenshots. The content can something fresh that is created in response to this call, or it can also be any content which has been created since the last Indigenous Gulf Stream in November of 2023.

Host a Watch Party

The stream is free to watch and streamed online. This year, we would like to partner with physical locations along the Gulf South and beyond who will commit to screening portions or all of the stream within their location for the public to access.

We want to work with museums, libraries, community centers, non-profits, businesses, schools, institutions, and welcoming house parties.

We want to make a map of all the locations that people can watch the stream, and publish the map on this site to help people find places to watch.

We encourage screening locations to incorporate the stream into their daily activities in ways that are creative but natural to their mission and audience. We would love to co-advertize your screening locations, times, and para-programming.

If you are interested in partnering and putting your program on the map, reach out to us at bvlbanchapublicaccess@gmail.com with the subject line "Watch Party."
