Curating Rematriation in Bde Óta Othuŋwe

Elvehjem L140
@ 4:00 pm

Please join us for an Art History Distinguished Alum Lecture with Kendra Greendeer.

Kendra Greendeer examines Indigenous museum practices alongside land and materiality relations through an aesthetic emphasis on “rematriation,” an Indigenous women led initiative to return to a state of pre-settler colonial balance and relationship to those that allow for Indigenous livingness. A member of the Ho-Chunk nation and descendant of the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Ojibwe, Dr. Greendeer serves as the Ihlenfeld Curator of Collaborative and Community Exhibitions at the Weisman Art Museum in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She has assisted with numerous exhibitions and community-based projects centered on Indigenous art and history. Greendeer received her Ph.D. in Art History from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2023.
