The Kupferberg Holocaust Center Recognizes
National Native American Heritage Month
Join Gina Adams, artist and scholar,
in discussion with Danyelle Means,
curator, for a conversation about
the meaning of survival through
remembrance, the significance of
expressing it artistically, and its
relevance to Holocaust education
today. Both Adams and Means are of
Native American descent: Indigenous
Ojibwe and colonial Americans; and
Oglala Lakota, respectively.
This conversation will focus on
Adams’s Broken Treaties Project, a
commentary about the literal broken
treaties between the US and Native
American tribes expressed through
multi-media works such as sculpture,
ceramics and painting, and how
it intertwines history, culture, and
memory.
“For years, I have wanted to create
a new peace treaty medallion, one
that instigates change for the future,
one where the wearer will commit to
honoring the treaties and becoming
an ally to Native American Nations
and to Indian Country,” said Adams,
one of the artists featured in the
Harriet & Kenneth Kupferberg
Holocaust Center’s past exhibition,
Survivance & Sovereignty on Turtle
Island: Engaging with Contemporary
Native American Art that was on
through June 2020.
She added, “How do we exist in
a contemporary society as healthy
healing Ancestors and Allies? This
question crosses race and class divides
and asks our hearts and minds to do
better.”
Means is Director of Institutional
Advancement at the Institute of
American Indian Arts and has
worked with the National Museum
of American Indian (NMAI), Peabody
Essex Museum, Marist College, and
the Kupferberg Holocaust Center.
Means co-curated the Turtle Island
exhibit along with QCC Art &
Design faculty member, Kat Griefen,
in collaboration with students and
alumni from the QCC Gallery and
Museum Studies program, and the
KHC fellowship program.
Of the Survivance & Sovereignty on
Turtle Island exhibit, Means said, “By
using art to communicate the impact
that genocide has upon Indigenous
people on Turtle Island–as well as its
connections to the Holocaust—we
can understand that these egregious
crimes of attempted erasure are not
outliers but part of a continuum.”
Presented by the Harriet & Kenneth
Kupferberg Holocaust Center and the
Museum & Gallery Studies Program
in the Art & Design Department at
QCC in partnership with the Nancy
& David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity
Center; the Peace & Conflict
Studies Programs at the University
of Manitoba; and the Center for
Holocaust & Genocide Studies at the
University of Minnesota.
