Join “Sharing Honors and Burdens: Renwick Invitational 2023” artists Geo Neptune (Passamaquoddy) and Lily Hope (Tlingit) in conversation with Darienne Turner, assistant curator of Indigenous Art of the Americas at the Baltimore Museum of Art. Neptune, a skilled basket maker and activist, explores themes of generational consciousness while incorporating sacred Native American mythology into their work. One of the last living apprentices of her mother, late master Chilkat weaver Clarissa Rizal, Hope is a designer and weaver whose contemporary works in textile and paper collage weave together Ravenstail and Chilkat design. These artists will discuss the importance of cultural identity and how it informs their creative practice.
Media sponsorship for “Sharing Honors and Burdens: Renwick Invitational 2023” programing is provided by the American Craft Council.
