she who lives on the road to war
December 3, 2022

she who lives on the road to war is an immersive installation and dance performance created by Rosy Simas in response to global loss and the collective need to come together in peace and reconciliation. 

she who lives on the road to war takes its title from one of the names of Haudenosaunee historical figure Jigonhsasee, whose wisdom and vision helped Hiawatha and the Peacemaker bring the Nations together as the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. 

she who lives on the road to war is a place for visitors to rest, grieve, condole and meditate.

Rosy Simas, Haudenosaunee (Seneca, Heron Clan), is a dance and transdisciplinary artist based in Minneapolis. Her work investigates how culture, history and identity are stored in the body and expressed in movement. For more than twenty-five years she has created work that addresses a wide range of political, social and cultural subjects from a Native feminist perspective.
