The Indian Arts Research Center: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow

With keynote speakers Cynthia Chavez Lamar (San Felipe Pueblo), Brian Vallo (Acoma Pueblo), and Elysia Poon.

The roles of collecting institutions continue to evolve in response to the needs of the communities they serve. Museums are increasingly looking back on past practices through a critical lens in order to move forward with a more considered approach to cultural stewardship. This keynote roundtable brings together two former IARC directors, Cynthia Chavez Lamar and Brian Vallo, and current director Elysia Poon for a deep dive into the past, present, and future of the Indian Arts Research Center.

This event is free and open to the public. Advanced registration is required.

This round table is the first of four events in this year’s Indian Arts Research Center Speaker Series.

2022 marks the centennial of the IARC’s collection of Native Southwest art and history. This year’s Speaker Series, One Hundred Years Later: The Indian Arts Research Center and the Role of Collections in the Twenty-First Century, seeks to explore the role of collections, then and now, and the responsibility and accountability of collecting institutions to the communities they serve. Speakers from across the country will discuss museum practices, community collaboration, and the future of collections in the twenty-first century. Learn more about the full series here.
