Cocktail Reception & Exhibition Preview of

Substance of Stars

Premiering to Moondance guests is our new Signature Exhibition, Substance of Stars. This multi-sensory experience shares the creation stories that form the foundational belief systems and inspire artistic production for the Haudenosaunee, Yup’ik, Diné, and Akimel O’odham Tribes. Substance of Stars will combine historic and contemporary works with immersive digital technologies to showcase the cosmological and spiritual practices of each community.

The cocktail reception will also include special performances by the Larry Redhouse Trio (Diné) and DJ Audrey Pekala (Tohono O'odham/Chicana).
