At the end of the installation, these materials will be returned to the place in nature where they were gathered, closing the circle of creation.Opening at the same time, a new iteration of History Lessons features objects from members of the Osage community in Oklahoma, who worked with acclaimed poet Paschen to tell their stories of home in tribal housing.
