Miss Chief in the Museum

Wednesday, Apr. 19, 2023

7:30 p.m.

Kane Hall, Room 120

History is subjective. The dominant version of history upheld in museums on this continent is told from the perspective of the colonial settler cultures who projected their values and ideals onto the Indigenous people and landscape of North America. Cree artist Kent Monkman discusses his interventions in museums that have taken form as commissioned paintings, curated exhibitions, videos, and site specific performances. Monkman will also discuss his 2019 commission for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York – a diptych of two monumental history paintings for the Great Hall and the creation of a new performance piece.

Registration opens March 13, 2022.

Joshua Chambers-Letson “Yoko Ono and the Art of the Breakdown”

Thursday, Apr. 13, 2023

5:30 p.m.

Kane Hall, Room 120

Screams have always been a component of Yoko Ono¡¯s artistic practice, but rather than received as an act of communication, the dominant reception has been not to listen. Offering a meditation on the queer dynamics of Asian American grief, this talk lingers in and listens to Ono¡¯s shatter and scream as she mobilizes affective expressions that are at times explosive, and at others depressive, to perform various modes of coming undone, shattering, falling apart, and breaking down.
