The Maxwell Museum of Anthropology is hosting the following events to end the month of February. Both of these events are free and open to the public.
Co-curators Catherine Baudoin and Joyce Szabo will discuss art of the Bering Sea people in "North by Southwest: Two Views of Two Diverse Collections," on Thursday, Feb. 21 at 7 p.m.
This exhibit draws on two diverse collections of Bering Sea region art that has not been previously exhibited. Both collections are united through the multiple voices of early anthropologists, contemporary Native people, and Maxwell Museum curators to establish context and offer different viewpoints underscoring varied meanings embedded in the exhibition.
On Saturday, Feb. 23, from 1-3:30 p.m. Celebra la Ciencia and the Ortiz Center present the "Passport to People Family Program: Survival in the Arctic!" The bilingual family day will feature hands-on activities, Alaskan native speakers and the great whale parade. Hear stories of Native Alaskan life by Herbert Anungazuk and dress in Native Alaskan attire with Lina Anungazuk, members of the Inupiat tribe from the Bering Sea.
