Woven Being: Art for Zhegagoynak/Chicagoland
@ Northwestern University's Bienen School of Music, Galvin Recital Hall
70 Arts Circle Dr, Evanston, IL 60208
Opening Saturday, February 1st, from 2PM - 3:30PM
On view through Sunday, July 13th
Zhegagoynak, the place now known as Chicagoland, has long been a critical hub for Indigenous art. Through the perspectives of four artists with connections to Zhegagoynak, the exhibition Woven Being: Art for Zhegagoynak/Chicago explores confluences that continue to shape Indigenous creative practices in the region and beyond.
Our opening program will celebrate the contributions of collaborating exhibition 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) in dialogue with Jordan Poorman Cocker (Kiowa), Woven Being Terra Foundation Guest Co-Curator.
Their discussion will touch on the interwoven stories that are part of their practices, and the questions the exhibition raises about the histories, present experiences, and futures of Zhegagoynak.
Drop by the Block Museum from 12:00-1:30pm before the talk to explore the galleries, enjoy hands-on activities, and visit our Community Room. A public reception in the Louis Room at Norris University Center (1999 Campus Drive, 2nd floor) will follow the opening program. The museum will remain open until 6pm.
