Drop in and chat with artist Cannupa Hanska Luger about his exhibition You're Welcome at UMMA.
You're Welcome asks the campus and community to reconsider the memories molded into the Museum’s stone — the perspectives that shaped those traditions and the stories that remain unseen in our facade. This artistic interrogation dissects colonialist norms of monument-making, explores the roles of buildings in upholding selected cultural systems, and develops new forms of memorials that center Indigenous perspectives and collaboration to tell fuller stories and histories.
