Travois First Fridays

October 6, 2017

Join us for Travois First Fridays on Oct. 6!

Matika Wilbur, a Native American woman of the Swinomish and Tulalip Tribes, is a photographer and social documentarian. She is currently working on Project 562, a national documentary project dedicated to changing the way we see Native Americans through authentic images and real narratives from contemporary Native America.

Matika's “Seeds of Culture: The Portraits and Stories of Native American Women” exhibition will be on view to the public for two First Fridays: on Friday, Oct. 6 and Friday, Nov. 3.

Matika will attend the Oct. 6 showing and will give an artist talk titled “Changing the Way We See Native America: Dismantling Native American Stereotypes.”

Travois supports American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian communities and tribes in achieving their vision for economic and community development. Over 22 years, Travois has secured $1.3 billion dollars for affordable housing, education, health services, water infrastructure, and climate adaptation in Indian Country.

Art is a vibrant contributor to Native economies and a culture bearer for Native people. Travois is expanding our service area to highlight the strength and modern-day vitality of Native artists and to stimulate art purchases and commissions within one of the nation’s leading art scenes: Kansas City.

Preregister and receive two drink tickets at the event (21+). All ages are welcome to attend the event.
