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
