Crossroads
featuring work from Molly Murphy Adams, Mona Cliff, and Natani Notah
August 3 – September 18
First Friday Art Walk: August 7, 6 - 8 p.m. & September 4, 6 - 9 p.m.
Crossroads invites you to reflect. As our local community honors its historic role in the centennial celebration of Route 66, Crossroads asks you to consider perspectives that are often not acknowledged in the story of Route 66 and in the larger narrative of our country.
Working within the tension of being rooted to place and generations of displacement, works from Molly Murphy Adams, Mona Cliff, and Natani Notah collectively explore the intertwining of culture, identity, and histories of Native women living and working in the Midwest.
