Description

Join us for the next installment of our Art History Lecture Series.

Diné artist, activist, and community organizer Emma Robbins will discuss her visual art practice as well as her activist work with The Navajo Water Project and The Chapter House. Robbins navigates many different worlds in her interdisciplinary work, always with a commitment to Indigenous rights and her Diné community. Her efforts in these spheres are braided together by the issues many Native women face, both on and off the reservation--and, crucially, by their potential solutions. In her work, Robbins strives to raise awareness about concerns ranging from the lack of clean water on Native Nations, to health hazards caused by abandoned uranium mines in the American Southwest, to the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women crisis and broad issues regarding the representations and misrepresentations of Native Peoples in American culture. 

This event is FREE and OPEN to the public!
