Symposium on Painted: Our Bodies, Hearts, and Village

Join the Colby College Museum of Art and its Lunder Institute for American Art for a two-day symposium organized in conjunction with the Painted: Our Bodies, Hearts, and Village exhibition.

Exhibition collaborators, artists, curators, and scholars will gather for a series of panel discussions on Native American art, American art, and art of the American West. Topics will include how Native artists delve into historical collections to assert visual sovereignty, how to activate museum collections in new and reparative ways, collaborations between institutions and Native communities, and more.

Together, participants will reflect on the relationship between art, shared histories, and lived experiences, incubating new paths within art history, art practice, and the museum field. Learn more and register here.
