Walking in Our Moccs: Perspectives from Indigenous Artists – Closing Reception

Maidu Museum & Historic Site

Back Event Jan 31 @ 5 pm By Alizabeth Stevans

Join us for the closing reception of Walking In Our Moccs: Perspectives from Indigenous Artists. Celebrate the artists and their work one last time with community, conversation, and refreshments.

Walking In Our Moccs: Perspectives from Indigenous Artists is a community exhibition curated by Sierra Native Alliance, a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving Native families, cultures and environment in Placer County. The exhibition illuminates the experience of “walking in two worlds” through the eyes of contemporary Native American artists. Sierra Native Alliance’s Executive Director, Anno Nakai, states, “Walking in Our Moccs features artwork from youth to elders and creatively illustrates the coexistence of tribal lifeways and mainstream culture, including experiences that marginalize, oppress, uplift and connect Native people to sacred traditions.”

This dynamic exhibition includes over 45 artworks in a variety of media, including painting, photographs, jewelry, sculpture, prints, drawings and mixed media. Many of the original artworks are for sale and proceeds support both the artists and the museum.
