About the event

There Is No Word for Museum in My Language: An O'odham View of the Art World
Note: start time is 10:00 a.m.

Can Indigenous artists, curators, and historians resist the colonial narrative of art museums when the museum itself is a colonizer institution? Reflecting on his own experience visiting the museum on the Gila River Indian Community, David Martínez argues that the path to resistance lay in the land itself.

With David Martínez (Akimel O'odham/Hia-Ced O'odham/Mexican), Professor of American Indian Studies and Transborder Studies, Arizona State University

Cosponsored by Oregon Humanities Center, History, Native American and Indigenous Studies, and the Center for Latino/a and Latin American Studies.
