Join us Friday, Oct. 4, from 6-8 p.m. for Travois First Fridays featuring “Generational Knowledge” by Mona Cliff. The artist talk will begin at 6:30 p.m.
Mona Cliff was born in Prescott, AZ, was raised in Portland, OR, and currently resides in Lawrence, KS. She is an enrolled member of the Aaniiih (White Clay people)/ Assiniboine tribes, and has Polish and German heritage. She uses traditional Indigenous techniques in conjunction with contemporary images.
Cliff explores the subject of identity, culture and mixed heritage. “In this series ‘Generational Knowledge,’ I am creating a space to honor what has been labeled ‘woman’s work.’ I am looking toward the mediums and conduits of craft, how Indigenous cultures thrive and are created in the quiet corners of a home,” Cliff said. “My art is rooted in my Aaniiih and Eastern European heritage. I use my art to explore the concept of woman as gatekeepers of cultural knowledge, how this knowledge forms personal identity, and is passed down generationally to create traditions.”
