Gallery+Indigenizing the Gallery invites Indigenous students to make interventions into Gallery spaces that erase or minimize Indigenous peoples’ contributions to art. The program culminates with a conversation among the participating students and Jami Powell, Associate Curator of Native American Art at the Hood Museum of Art, Hanover, New Hampshire, and a member of the Osage Nation, in which students discuss their interventions to Gallery spaces as well as introduce suggestions for future Indigenous interventions in the Gallery. Presented in conjunction with the exhibition Place, Nations, Generations, Beings: 200 Years of Indigenous North American Art.
Gallery+ is an ongoing series of collaborations that invites Yale University students to respond to the Gallery’s collection through special programs and performances.
