104 College Drive
On Thursday, September 18th at 3:00 pm, Danielle Larsen (Koyukon Athabascan, Unangax, Inupiaq) will give a talk entitled, “Finding Beauty in Small Things.” This talk will be about what and why Larsen paints. She likes the beauty in everyday things that brings memories of making canned salmon or fry bread with your aunties. What she does is document things important to her and a part of her cultural heritage. Through painting, Larsen says, “I feel like I’m keeping a visual history of who we are for our descendants. I hope I can bring back a time or place that was happy and meaningful to others.”
This talk will be in-person at the Sheldon Jackson Museum and simultaneously on zoom.
