Come out for an amazing day of Art and Community <3Preoccupied: Indigenizing the Museum Community Day
Bring family and friends of all ages to celebrate Preoccupied: Indigenizing the Museum, a wide-ranging BMA initiative that significantly increases the presence of Native voices, experiences, and artworks across the Museum.
The afternoon festivities include special performances by Uhwachi-Reh Dance Troup, a Baltimore-based Native American dance company, and a special tour of the exhibition Dana Claxton: Spark led by the artist. Learn about Native American beadwork and create a beaded wearable or jewelry in the Joseph Education Center Studio with guest artist Nina Gover Brooks. Local Native artists and organizations will be available to talk about their work and offer items for purchase. Illustrated guides to East Baltimore’s Historic American Indian “Reservation” will be available for pickup.
This program has been developed with guidance from Louis Campbell (Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina), who also served on the 10-member Community Advisory Panel for Preoccupied.
