Opening Reception: Ordinary Presence

Please join us on Friday, July 18th, from 5-7pm for the opening reception for our new exhibition called "Ordinary Presence: The Everyday of Ikce", co-curated by Molina Two Bulls, Layli Long Soldier, Graci Horne, Clementine Bordeaux, and our co-director mary v. bordeaux!

The exhibition explores what it means to be ikčé—a common/ordinary person. In Lakota and Dakota thoughts, this term is often invoked to express humility, interconnectedness, and the foundation of everyday life. Yet, its meaning shifts depending on context, relationships, and individual experience. This exhibition emerges from a community curatorial practice shaped by conversations with Lakota and Dakota people who reflect on the depth and responsibilities of being ikčé today.
