Be one of the first to experience the Heard Museum’s newest exhibition with Curator Roshii Montaño (Diné). In this 30-minute talk, Roshii will share perspectives on the traveling exhibition Kay WalkingStick / Hudson River School, organized by the New-York Historical Society. The exhibition presents striking landscapes by renowned contemporary Cherokee artist Kay WalkingStick in conversation with 19th-century Hudson River School paintings. This visual dialogue reveals both the connections and contrasts between WalkingStick’s modern vision and the historic tradition, offering new ways to consider how art shapes our relationship to the land. Through this first curator talk for the exhibition, discover how it places contemporary Indigenous art within the evolving discourse of American art history—while sparking timely conversations about land, belonging, and dispossession.
This Curator Talk is included with admission and FREE for members. Tour meets at the Info Desk.
