In this article, we discuss contemporary art practices as avenues for disrupting settler colonial narratives; we explore how the practices developed and adopted by contemporary Native American and First Nations artists can challenge settler colonial feelings. Employing the concept of settler common sense, we attend to the affective experience of encountering these artists’ works and consider how their works can enable the viewers to feel, sense, and think outside of/in opposition to/against settler colonial logics. We first explain the concept of settler colonialism and illustrate how settler colonial narratives operate; we illuminate the affective dimension of settler colonialism and how settler colonial narratives and feelings are bound up in art. To demonstrate possible pathways through this process, we discuss the work of Indigenous artists Rebecca Belmore and Tanya Lukin Linklater, considering how their practices can disrupt. We argue for a move away from settler futurity.

在本文中，我们将讨论当代艺术实践作为破坏定居者殖民叙事的途径；我们探索当代美洲原住民和原住民艺术家开发和采用的做法如何挑战定居者的殖民情绪。运用定居者常识的概念，我们关注与这些艺术家作品相遇的情感体验，并思考他们的作品如何让观众在定居者殖民逻辑之外/反对/反对定居者殖民逻辑之外去感受、感知和思考。我们首先解释定居者殖民主义的概念，并说明定居者殖民叙事是如何运作的；我们阐明了定居者殖民主义的情感维度，以及定居者殖民叙事和情感如何与艺术联系在一起。为了演示通过此过程的可能途径，我们讨论土著艺术家 Rebecca Belmore 和 Tanya Lukin Linklater 的作品，考虑他们的做法会如何破坏。我们主张远离定居者的未来。
