The Center for Native Futures

We sat down with Debra Yepa-Pappan and Monica Rickert-Bolter, two of the Co-Founders and Co-Directors at Center for Native Futures, an all-Native artist-led arts non-profit organization in Chicago. Located in the Marquette Building, their art center hosts gallery exhibitions, artist-in-residencies, and community events throughout the year.

In this Collective Conversation, we discussed topics like:

  • The journey to finding their voices as artists and their place in the art world

  • Creating and claiming space

  • Sisterhood

  • The importance of written values

  • Honoring the past while centering Indigenous futures
