This event will feature the family archivists and artists who contributed profoundly to the “Picturing Family” exhibition. The panel will be followed by a reception in the Sheehan Gallery.

The ”Picturing Family” show combines family photos of the Métis (mixed Indigenous and French Canadian) population of the Umatilla Indian Reservation at the turn of the 20th century with contemporary art made and collected by descendants of these same families at the turn of the 21st century. We invite you to discover these family communities, and the narrative and creative practices that sustain them.
