Artist Talk: Living Stories – New Works by Le’Ana Asher
May 14, 2025 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm CDT
Free
Join artist Le’Ana Asher for an insightful artist talk on Wednesday, May 14th at the Gichigamiin Indigenous Nations Museum in Evanston. Le’Ana is featured in our newest exhibition Living Stories: Contemporary Woodland Native American Art. Join us at 5pm for a guided tour through the exhibition, followed by a one-hour discussion starting at 6pm where Le’Ana will share the journey behind her latest series of works, which examines the intersections of history, identity, and resistance. Drawing inspiration from Indigenous culture and the ongoing fight for sovereignty, her new series challenges the illusions of American history and offers a fresh perspective on both past and present narratives.
As Le’Ana walks you through her paintings, you’ll gain insight into the symbolism of her work, including the intersection of regalia, resilience, and cultural storytelling. This is a chance to connect with the artist, ask questions, and explore the deeper layers of art that challenge and awaken.
This will be a hybrid discussion, please RSVP below. This is a FREE event. For more information about this program, please contact info@gichigamiin.org | (847) 475-0911 | www.gichigamiin-museum.org
