Join us on Thursday, January 29, 6-9 PM for the opening reception of Tabi Tabi Po: Come Out with the Spirits! You Are Welcome Here, featuring the work of renowned artist Cece Carpio. Through Indigenous oral traditions and narratives, both autobiographical and imagined, this landmark exhibition highlights the power and necessity of storytelling. As a cultural, political, and relational practice shared across cultures, storytelling brings attention to the sacred and often overlooked spaces essential to understanding how all things come to be.

Marie Watt's balance of technical precision and expansive vision melds in larger-than-life textile processes and multimedia explorations. Storywork centers stories from her Seneca Nation ancestry, pairing them with references to everything from Greco-Roman myth to Star Trek. The selection of narrative prints appears alongside a sculptural tin jingle cloud. Programming includes an October 2 performance by champion jingle dancer Acosia Red Elk and a campus native plant tour led by the Indigenous Traditional Ecological and Cultural Knowledge team on October 14.
