Making a Monument
Manage episode 335772067 series 3376021
In this episode we talk about the importance of environmental mindfulness with two curators from Spirit of the Land, an exhibition that celebrated the East Mojave landscape around the sacred mountain known as Avi Kwa Ame. Spirit of the Land was on view at the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art from March 25 to July 23, 2022. Kim Garrison Means and Mikayla Whitmore tell us what it was like working with rural communities to create their exhibition, how it feels when they hear people refer to their beloved desert as a wasteland, and why you should never decorate wild juniper trees with Christmas tinsel, even if you think it looks cute.
Interviewers: LeiAnn Huddleston, Emmanuel Muñoz
