The Art of Ceremony in Indigenous Oregon
by jsmauo
Professor
On May 21, Dr. Rebecca Dobkins presented her talk Weaving Sovereignty: The Art of Ceremony in Indigenous Oregon, sharing from her recently published book The Art of Ceremony: Voices of Renewal from Indigenous Oregon (University of Washington Press). In her research, she explored how Indigenous customary practices of plant tending, harvesting, and weaving can contribute to broader conversations about art-making and tribal sovereignty in the Northwest.
The David and Anne McCosh Memorial Visiting Lecturer Series on Northwest Art is an annual program focused on topics related to Pacific Northwest art history and contemporary connections. This program is generously funded by the David John and Anne Kutka McCosh Memorial Museum Endowment Fund.
Dr. Dobkins’s lecture also supported the UO’s Common Reading of Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants by Robin Wall Kimmerer and the JSMA’s Common Seeing exhibition Our Shared Breath: Creativity and Community.
