Curator Tour of Smoke in Our Hair
Join Sháńdíín Brown, curator of Smoke in Our Hair: Native Memory and Unsettled Time, for an in-depth tour of the exhibition. Brown will guide visitors through its three sections—wood, smoke, and fire—exploring how Indigenous perceptions of time are cyclical, relational, and unifying. The tour will highlight the works’ connections to personal memory, ancestral artistic practices, history, and Indigenous futurism.
