About this Event
Join us for a special exhibition walk-through of Fire Kinship with Silvia Forni, Shirley and Ralph Shapiro Director of the Fowler Museum. The exhibition focuses on the important kinship ties that connect Indigenous communities to the land, and on the inextricable connection between ecological knowledge, spirituality, and creative expression.
