In-Person and Virtual Artist Conversation with Geo Neptune and Lily Hope
Thursday, November 16, 6:30 p.m.

Join artists Geo Neptune (Passamaquoddy) and Lily Hope (Tlingit) in conversation with Darienne Turner, curator of Indigenous Art of the Americas at the Baltimore Museum of Art. Their work is featured in the exhibition Sharing Honors and Burdens: Renwick Invitational 2023, currently on view at SAAM's Renwick Gallery.

Neptune, a skilled basket maker and activist, explores themes of generational consciousness while incorporating sacred Native American mythology into their work. Hope is a designer and weaver whose contemporary works in textile and paper collage weave together Ravenstail and Chilkat design. She is one of the last living apprentices of her late mother, master Chilkat weaver Clarissa Rizal. These artists will discuss the importance of cultural identity and how it informs their creative practice.

Media sponsorship for Sharing Honors and Burdens: Renwick Invitational 2023 programing is provided by the American Craft Council.
