This two-day convening brings together artists, scholars, cultural practitioners, and community leaders to examine Indigenous knowledge systems as epistemic frameworks for reshaping institutional practice.Through panel conversations and dialogue sessions, participants will explore relational caretaking as a guiding principle for museums and public institutions, one rooted in Indigenous understandings of responsibility, reciprocity, and stewardship across communities, lands, and knowledge systems.
What you can expect:
Participants can expect two days of conversation, connection, and collective learning centered around art, Indigenous knowledge systems, relational caretaking, and institutional transformation.
The convening will open on Monday October 12 at 5:00 PM with an evening keynote presentation by heather ahtone, PhD, followed by a reception with light bites, offering opportunities to gather, meet speakers and fellow participants.
Tuesday October 13 will include breakfast, five panel conversations featuring artists, scholars, curators, cultural leaders, and community practitioners, as well as a shared lunch and afternoon refreshments. Sessions will explore themes of sovereignty, stewardship, public memory, community engagement, environmental justice, and the evolving role of cultural institutions within public life.
Throughout the convening, participants will have opportunities for dialogue, reflection, and relationship-building across disciplines, communities, and lived experiences.
