Discuss art, process, and scholarship with one of the featured artists from the landmark exhibition Hearts of Our People: Native Women Artists. Join Jolene Rickard (Tuscarora), artist, curator, and associate professor of art history and visual studies and director of the American Indian and Indigenous Studies Program at Cornell University, for an online lecture about her work relating to Native and Indigenous aesthetics. Rickard has published extensively on Native artists and identity and has collaborated on exhibitions with the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian. She also served as an advisory board member during the highly collaborative conception of Hearts of Our People, which was on view at the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum.

This program is part of our annual Clarice Smith Distinguished Lectures in American Art series, which presents new insights in American art from the perspectives of outstanding artists, critics, and scholars. The series is made possible by the generosity of Clarice Smith.
