A statement from the curator, “As a public artist, I believe it's essential for Native artists to showcase their work in spaces that encourage critical thought and engagement. Museums have a unique opportunity to support this vision by being open to exhibiting Native artists in environments conducive to dialogue. We, as Native artists, carry the responsibility to activate these spaces and present our perspectives authentically, fostering a deeper understanding of our culture and artistry. Working together to create platforms that elevate our voices and stories.“ During the exhibition, visitors can find events such as the Gathering of Nations Visit: https://bonitahistoricalsociety.org/gathering-of-nations/ Johnny Bear Contreras on Instagram

Are we all just squirrels trying to get a nut? Professor Steven Barbone of SDSU’s Philosophy Department leads a 50th anniversary discussion of "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" by Robert Pirsig, one of the most influential books of the past half century and the bestselling philosophical book of all time. A summer motorcycle trip across the American West undertaken by a father and his son, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is a personal and philosophical odyssey into fundamental questions of how to live. Can a parent’s ferocious love for their child counter the everyday confusions of existence? Might the care for a technological object like a motorcycle lead to clarity? And when is a motorcycle not a motorcycle? Philosophy Talk is an occasional series of library presentations designed as a fun opportunity to connect the richness of philosophical thought to everyday life.
