Kent Monkman at Akron Art Museum: Reimagining North American landscapes

Indigenous Canadian painter Kent Monkman, a member of the Fisher River Cree Nation, presents his exhibition "Kent Monkman: History is Painted by the Victors" at the Akron Art Museum, on view through August 16. The show features over 30 large-scale paintings that mimic 19th-century landscape works by settler artists like Albert Bierstadt and Frederic Edwin Church, but inserts Indigenous figures who were historically romanticized, stereotyped, or omitted. Monkman uses his two-spirit alter ego Miss Chief Eagle Testickle to challenge colonial narratives and reverse the artistic gaze. The exhibition was organized by the Denver Art Museum and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, with co-curators John Lukavic and Léuli Eshrāghi.

Meet at Mia: How One Museum Reimagined Summer Without a Blockbuster Exhibition

The Minneapolis Institute of Art (Mia) faced summer 2024 without a major blockbuster exhibition, a significant challenge since special exhibitions typically drive up to 30% of annual attendance. Programming manager Anna Dilliard responded by launching "Meet at Mia," a 16-week outdoor series of Thursday night events including concerts, film screenings, and community rides in the museum's courtyard. The initiative built on a successful pilot event in August 2023 and grew from 700 attendees to 1,500 at its first official event, transforming a potential attendance slump into a season of community engagement.
