Artist Conversation: Sky Hopinka

Thursday, August 19, 2021 @ 5:30 pm

Storytelling, poetry, and language are simultaneously aural, visual, and mnemonic practices in the work of artist Sky Hopinka. A member of the Ho-Chunk nation, Hopinka creates photographs and films that explore the formation and continuity of cultural memory through experiences of the land, the body, and narrative. Join the artist and Mitra Abbaspour, Haskell Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, for a richly illustrated conversation about Hopinka’s multidisciplinary practice.
