Manage episode 377347722 series 3399393
âWe aren't constantly swimming in trauma. We're a joyful people. I want to make sure that the way we present the work is reflective of an expansive and nuanced understanding that we can hold pain but we can also hold a lot of love, joy and happiness.â â Kalyn Fay Barnoski, Philbrook Museum of Art
When youâre a gatekeeper to a world thatâs still unfolding for mainstream audiences, the pressure must beâŠintense. Kalyn Fay Barnoski, an interdisciplinary artist, musician, curator, and educator from Oklahoma, who is a Cherokee Nation enrollee and of Muscogee Creek descent, confirmed that the responsibility is a big one that they donât take lightly.
What does that feel like? How does one begin to curate from such a vast and varied universe? What happens when the job also means retelling history? And what's the importance of the land a museum sits on when thinking about curation?
Listen in as Kalyn shares details about how they approach such a sacred role, what theyâre excited about â and what work still needs to be done â when they ponder how Indigenous culture is presented in museums in 2023.
Other highlights, inspiration and key learnings from the conversation:
- How their life as an artist impacts their approach as a curator
- What people donât get right about native art and culture
- Honoring all parts of yourself as a curator
- Indigenous creatives more people should know
- Making space for creativity
