Living with The Land with Dr Ted Jojola, Indigenous Design and Planning Institute
The Aunties DandelionShow Notes
🏘️ What can Pueblo architecture teach us about belonging, caring for the land and building our futures?🌼 On The Aunties Dandelion, we visit with Dr. Ted Jojola (Isleta Pueblo) about season three of his podcast, PlaceKnowing with Dr. Ted Jojola.
Ted, founder and director of the Indigenous Design and Planning Institute at the University of New Mexico, introduces a season celebrating Pueblo architects, designers and community builders whose work carries ancestral knowledge into the places we build today.✨ The season draws inspiration from Restorying Our HeartPlace: Contemporary Pueblo Architecture, the exhibition he co-curated with Dr. Lynn Paxson. With iD+Pi preparing to participate in the Venice Biennale in 2027, these stories are reaching a global audience.
