Educator Workshop: Centering Indigenous Voices through Visual Art

  • Portland Museum of Art 7 Congress Square Portland, ME, 04101 United States (map)

Join us for an evening in the galleries with interactive activities, a panel discussion, and educator roundtables on centering Indigenous voices when incorporating art into the classroom.

Free for any and all educators. Registration required.

Join us for an evening of discussion and critical examination of how Indigenous voices from the Plains to the Dawnland are represented and often erased in visual art. Using 19th-century landscape paintings of the American West alongside other landscapes and Wabanaki art in the PMA’s permanent collection, educators from across the state are invited to engage in conversation with Indigenous guest speakers about how to center Indigenous voices when incorporating art into the classroom.

Interactive gallery activities, a panel discussion, and educator roundtables will provide time and space to apply these teachings to actionable steps within the context of Wabanaki curriculum work. We will be joined by Jennifer Pictou (Mi’kmaq), Nolan Altvater (Passamaquoddy), Joe Robbins (Penobscot), and Rachel Allen (Nez Perce).

Food and drink will be provided. Salary contact hours provided upon request.
