Community Collaboration in Practice: Collections Reviews at the Indian Arts Research Center
With Mark Mitchell (Tesuque Pueblo), Octavius Seowtewa (Zuni Pueblo), Stephanie Riley (Acoma Pueblo), and Jennifer Day.
Since 2008, the IARC has worked in collaboration with representatives from Pueblo communities in an effort to review every piece in the IARC collection. These collection reviews recognize community knowledge as a primary source of information and ensure that collection items are represented as accurately as possible and in an appropriate manner. Join previous participants and facilitators as they discuss the collection review process and the benefits of true collaboration.
This event is free and open to the public. Advanced registration is required.
