“Jeffrey Gibson: They Teach Love,” is drawn from the collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and his family foundation, and Schnitzer and an assortment of dignitaries, including Nimíipuu (Nez Perce Tribe) representatives, are scheduled to participate in Tuesday’s celebration.
Gibson, described in a news release as “one of the most important artists of our time,” recently was selected to represent the United States at the 2024 Venice Biennale, the first Indigenous artist to receive that honor. He draws from “cultural and artistic traditions of his Cherokee and Choctaw heritage with the visual languages of Modernism and themes from contemporary popular and queer culture,” according to the Jordan Schnitzer Family Foundation website.

A Death Café, where participants are invited to “eat cake, drink tea and discuss death” is set for 2 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 19, at the Moscow Public Library, 110 S. Jefferson St.
It’s the third such event the Latah County Library District has offered and is described in a news release as a discussion group, rather than a grief support or counseling session, where strangers talk about death “with no agenda, objectives or themes.”
The objective is “to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives,” according to the news release. More information is at deathcafe.com.
