Join IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Art’s (MoCNA) tri-monthly book club called, The MoCNA Reader. Inspired by our exhibition, Connective Tissue: New Approaches to Fiber in Contemporary Native Art, we take up the accompanying catalog recently published by IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts. Among the authors are MoCNA Director Patsy Phillips (Cherokee Nation), Chief Curator Manuela Well-Off-Man, IAIA Faculty Amber-Dawn Bear Robe (Siksika Nation) and Lara Evans (Cherokee), as well as scholars Molly McGlennen (Anishinaabe/European) and Tania Willard (Secwepemc Nation). Stop by and see the exhibition for inspiration and participate in a lively discussion. Purchase the catalog at the MoCNA Store.
