Join The Center’s Junior Patrons Circle for a free exhibition tour of our current exhibit, Unraveling: Reimagining Colonization in the America. At 7:15pm, Curator of Visual Arts, Dr. Courtney Gilbert, will give a short guided tour through the exhibit to start the night off.
The history of the colonization of the Americas has traditionally been taught as a straightforward story of European conquest of indigenous cultures and expansion across territories already settled by native peoples for millennia. What does this linear history omit? What are the possibilities for reimagining or reinterpreting colonial history from the indigenous point of view? This project revisits the colonization of the Americas, offering alternative perspectives and narratives based both in fact and in fiction, including some rooted in the Wood River Valley.
Part of The Center’s BIG IDEA project Unraveling: Reimagining Colonization in the Americas, Mar 8–May 22, 2019.
Attendees must be 21+ and over.
