Artists and Museums: Interventions and Collaborations
On April 21, 2023, Debra Yepa-Pappan (Chicago-based Jemez Pueblo/Korean artist) will visit the Columbia College Chicago campus to give a public talk (12:30 pm) and lead a special session for Rethinking Museums students.

Currently, she serves as the Community Engagement Coordinator for the Native American Exhibition renovation at The Field Museum. In her talk, Yepa-Pappan will present her recent creative work and discuss her collaborative curatorial practice with a commitment to including Native-first voices and perspectives. She will then have a conversation with participants about different approaches to interventions and collaborations in a museum context by creative artists.
In the second portion of her visit, Debra Yepa-Pappan will meet Dr. Onur ├ûztürk's (Assistant Professor of Art History) Creative Communities: Rethinking Museums students for further discussion. She will provide feedback for students who would like to share their progress with the Reimagining Museums project.
