About this Event

Zhegagoynak, the place now known as Chicagoland, is a vital center for Indigenous art, past and present.

Join us for a conversation with the exhibition's four collaborating artists—Andrea Carlson (Grand Portage Ojibwe/European descent), Kelly Church (Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Tribe of Pottawatomi/Ottawa), Nora Moore Lloyd (Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Ojibwe), and Jason Wesaw (Pokagon Band of Potawatomi)

Together these artists will explore confluences that have shaped and continue to shape Indigenous creative practices in the region.
