With funding from the Ford Foundation, IAIA offered two students an opportunity to travel to Kassel, Germany in June to attend documenta 14.  Founded in 1955, documenta is a contemporary art exhibition which takes place every five years. The first documenta featured artists who are generally considered to have had a significant influence on modern art (such as Picasso and Kandinsky). The more recently documenta features art from all continents, mostly site-specific works of art.

Moderated by MoCNA Director Patsy Phillips (Cherokee), panelists include Associate Professor of Art History in the Museum Studies Department Dr. Lara M. Evans (Cherokee), MoCNA’s Chief Curator Manuela Well-Off-Man, and IAIA students Carmen Selam (Yakama) and Jonathan Loretto (Walatowa and Kotyi-ti).
