Dear friends,
“When Our Rivers Meet” opened ceremoniously at New-York Historical! Chief Curator and VP Wendy Nālani E. Ikemoto (Hawaiian) made leis for occasion, Chief Vincent Mann (Turtle Clan Chief, Ramapough Lunaape Nation) calibrated the room with a soulful song of thanks, and Brent Stonefish (Eelŭnaapéewi-Lahkéewiit noonjiiyayi) reminded us about the importance of relationship-building. In attendance were many who have accompanied the development of my practice to which I am grateful. Curator Rebecca Klassen and I have been hosting exhibition tours over the past weeks and various visitors have exclaimed this exhibition a “model museum collaboration”! Exhibition documentation can be found here.
In the coming months, I will be working on new commissions between my Bay Area studio and New York, attending FestPAC in Hawaii, researching and developing an exhibition in Western Australia as a Visiting Fellow with the Institute of Advanced Studies, and teaching with my School of Visual Arts colleagues. See you around!
