Join us at the Kansas City Art Institute for a special edition of Current Perspectives, featuring Raven Halfmoon, the 2025 Jedel Visiting Artist. A citizen of the Caddo Nation, Halfmoon’s monumental clay sculptures explore Indigenous identity, power, and matriarchal lineage through a contemporary lens.
Her solo exhibition Flags of Our Mothers was featured at the Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art (2023) and will open at the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts in 2024. This fall, her highly anticipated show Neesh & Soku (Moon & Sun) will debut at Salon 94 in New York.
Halfmoon’s work is held in major collections including the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Detroit Institute of Arts, and ICA Miami. She is a 2023 Eiteljorg Contemporary Art Fellow and a 2024 finalist for the Loewe Craft Prize.
Presented in partnership with the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, this program brings internationally acclaimed artists to campus, enriching student learning through dialogue, critique, and studio engagement. Don’t miss this powerful lecture from one of the most compelling sculptors working today.
This event is free and open to the public.
