Publications : Interview : Adam Khalil

According to Comanche author Paul Chaat Smith, mainstream images of the “Indian” conjures “a half-remembered presence, both comforting and dangerous, lurking just below the surface.” In this interview, artist and filmmaker Adam Khalil lets the half-remembered presence out by engaging with themes ranging from the temporal double binds of Indigeneity, Christopher Columbus as the first vampire in the “New World,” and the public secret society New Red Order. Christian Lund talks to Khalil about his collaborative projects, and Naja Dyrendom Graugaard contributes with a poetic reflection on racial stereotyping in the Danish school system.
