In this episode, we speak with two of the three curators of the "Place Nations, Generations, Beings: 200 Years of Indigenous North American Art" exhibit at the Yale University Art Gallery. Joseph Zordan (Bad River Ojibwe) and Katherine McCleary (Little Shell Chippewa Cree), along with Leah Shrestinian -- who could not make the interview -- spent years working on this exhibit and displaying a diverse range of objects and artworks spanning centuries that felt representative of Native American communities. Jo and Katie discuss the journey of their exhibit from its beginnings to their hopes about its lasting impact, as well as the many intentional choices they made in regards to the physical exhibit space. They also speak on their experiences as Native students at a university with a Native American Cultural Center on campus, and how that aided their undergraduate experience and gave them power as a community.
