 An exhibition curated by Center of Southwest Studies Fellow and FLC graduate, Malorie King (Mescalero Apache/Diné) Exhibition on view: January 30-May 16, 2025 Reception: January 30 at 4:30-6:30 PM This exhibition will be held in the lobby entryway of the CSWS building. Free Center of Southwest Studies Fellow and recent Fort Lewis College graduate, Malorie King (Mescalero Apache/Diné), has curated a selection of artwork from the Center’s Museum collections as a culmination of a year of research and inquiry into creative expression of traditional Indigenous knowledge sharing and intertribal values. "At its core, this project represents reciprocity—our shared responsibility to honor the teachings of our elders, respect all forms of life, and contribute meaningfully to our communities. Just as Indigenous knowledge is rooted in values of kinship, gratitude, and community, each of us carries a cultural lineage that can inspire and guide us. Through this exhibition, I aim to honor the communities, mentors, and traditions that have shaped me, while planting seeds for a future where Indigenous voices and knowledge systems thrive." - Malorie King, curator Center of Southwest Studies swcenter.fortlewis.edu Contact: Cristie Scott, cmscott@fortlewis.edu or Malorie King, msking@fortlewis.edu
