"Here in a Homemade Forest"

Inspired by Washington State University’s 2023-24 Common Reading book, "Braiding Sweetgrass," this exhibition highlights crucial themes through the lens of art, inviting visitors into a conversation about prioritizing a reciprocal relationship with the land, with each other, and with other living beings. To respond effectively to the challenging and uplifting examples offered by author Robin Wall Kimmerer, we encourage dialogue that includes our whole community. Drawing on a diverse selection of artworks and cultural objects created by both Native and non-Native artists, this exhibition offers varied opportunities to engage deeply with themes from "Braiding Sweetgrass."
