Center of Southwest Studies Fellow and Fort Lewis College graduate, Malorie King (Mescalero Apache/Diné), has curated a selection of artwork from the Center’s Museum collections as a culmination of a year of research and inquiry into creative expression of traditional knowledge sharing and intertribal values.
“At its core, this project represents reciprocity—our shared responsibility to honor the teachings of our elders, respect all forms of life, and contribute meaningfully to our communities. Just as Indigenous knowledge is rooted in values of kinship, gratitude, and community, each of us carries a cultural lineage that can inspire and guide us. Through this exhibition, I aim to honor the communities, mentors, and traditions that have shaped me, while planting seeds for a future where Indigenous voices and knowledge systems thrive.” - Malorie King, Curator
