Opening-Day Panel: Dyani White Hawk: Love Language

To celebrate the opening of the exhibition Dyani White Hawk: Love Language, join us for a Native-led opening-day panel with the artist and invited speakers. Moderated by Candice Hopkins, the panelists include artist and curator Keith BraveHeart and exhibition catalogue contributors Joyce Tsai and heather ahtone. Grounded in a celebration of Lakota artforms, visual motifs, and value systems, White Hawk’s work challenges prevailing narratives and histories of abstraction and amplifies the influence of Indigenous cultural production on modern and contemporary art. The conversation will use the artist’s wide-ranging practice as a point of departure for rich discussion celebrating Indigenous art and strengthening critical thinking on both institutional and national histories and our current climate.

This event requires a free ticket. Registration is available online or at the Main Lobby desk beginning at noon. Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
