He will also discuss his celebrated alter-ego, Miss Chief Eagle Testickle, whose time-traveling presence allows Monkman to confront and  reframe the past with sharp humor and theatrical power.Using projected images from the exhibition, Monkman will offer insight into his creative process, from staging large-scale scenes to working with dozens of models to build richly layered narratives.
