This meeting will be conducted on Zoom. Instructions will be provided upon registration.

About the Speaker

Anya Montiel is a curator at the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI). She earned her master's and doctorate degrees (2018) in American Studies from Yale. Her dissertation examined pervasive issues that have affected the production, marketing, selling, and display of art created by Native Americans and Alaska Natives in the United States. She will discuss her recent digital exhibition, Ancestors Know Who We Are, which explores the interwoven histories of Black and Indigenous peoples through art and how the NMAI shifted to more online exhibits and programs during the pandemic.
