Channeling Greater Power: Maria Hupfield, Lisa Le Feuvre, and Mikinaak Migwans at Wexner Center for the Arts

April 3, 2025

Join us this weekend at the Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus, Ohio, for a performative gathering with artist Maria Hupfield, guest curator Lisa Le Feuvre, and multimedia artist and scholar Mikinaak Migwans to call upon the artists and ancestors who surround Nancy Holt’s and Maria Hupfield’s artistic practices.

Explore the artwork and learn from the artists through conversations engaging with the past by calling on memory and legacy within their respective exhibitions, Maria Hupfield's The Endless Return of Fabulous Panther (Biimskojiwan) and Nancy Holt's Power Systems. The experience will be centered on the gifts of respect and reverence for those who have come before us.
