About this Event

Celebrating Indigenous Futurism: A Night of Culture, Generational Brilliance, and Inspiration

We are excited to announce our next Matriarch Mixer in collaboration with Heard Museum and headliner Lindy Vision, a powerhouse Black Native sister band (Jicarilla Apache Nation) from Albuquerque, NM. With their genre-bending blend of synth-pop, indie rock, and 80's new wave, Dorothy and Natasha Cuylear inspire with music rooted in empowerment and acceptance.

Before the performance, mingle at the Matriarch Mixer, hosted by the Indigenous Community Collaborative.

Celebrate the achievements of matriarchs while connecting with like-minded professionals in a welcoming space featuring workshops and fun icebreakers.

Music starts at 8p. Don't miss this unforgettable night of community and creativity! Free admission and open to all.

#MatriarchMixer is a networking experience that is made for Indigenous, Women-Owned Small Businesses, Entrepreneurs and Professionals. Our goal is to create an environment that fosters kinship, connection, and community building centering our innate knowledge and values. Matriarch Mixer is created by Indigenous Community Collaborative and co-hosted with fellow sisters and business owners Turquoise Devereaux - @indigenousskye Mikenzi Dupree - @stillshelives and Jillian Waln - Konekted Media and Katherine Jacobs 💕

The evening is about celebrating the brilliance of Matriarchs today while honoring the cultural and generational foundations that make this excellence possible.
