Suzanne Kite MFA ’18, director of the Wihanble S’a Center for Indigenous AI.
The Wíhanble S’a Center at Bard College and its director, Distinguished Artist in Residence and Assistant Professor Suzanne Kite, were profiled in Chronogram magazine. Jessica Carew Kraft wrote about the Center’s 2026 Open House, where participants met to listen to research presentations, learn hide tanning and maple sugaring, and discuss the Center’s mission. “I’m personally invested in any kind of AI research that isn’t a critique of current AI systems but is the development of new ones, generative research that engages with Indigenous methods and produces new ideas,” Kite told Kraft. “I think the most important Indigenous ethical value is reciprocity; how do we give more than we take from the land, the deer, the trees, and then celebrate together?”
