PAAM presents a weekend-long gathering of art historians, artists, and curators whose work converges around art’s relationship to land and place.
With a particular emphasis on art forms and scholarship that expand beyond western art-historical frameworks, presentation topics include: the advancement of Native art and sovereignty through making, curation, and sustainability practices; Kerry James Marshall and the Black landscape tradition; Seong Moy’s abstracted Outer Cape landscapes; and a collaborative public art project contending with Boston’s urban infrastructure as it intersects with Black histories of displacement and liberation. See presentation information below for more details.
A concurrent exhibition of PAAM Collection artworks provides a backdrop for the weekend, featuring historic and contemporary painting and photography.
The symposium and exhibition build upon the landscape tradition and reverence for place at the heart of Provincetown’s art history and community, while also recognizing a lack in conversation and preservation of marginalized histories and practices, particularly Indigenous ones. Land, Place, Identity represents a reparative effort to tell a more complete story of our past, present and future.
PAAM is pleased to honor Tess Lukey, enrolled member of the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head Aquinnah, and Associate Curator of Native American Art at the Trustees of the Reservations, as the keynote speaker.
In keeping with the symposium’s values of repair and restoration, PAAM invites attendees to include a donation to Aquinnah Cultural Center when registering for the event. Aquinnah Cultural Center is at the forefront of protecting, preserving, and stewarding Aquinnah Wampanoag art and culture into the future. PAAM’s invitation to donate is a small gesture of gratitude for their work, and an acknowledgement of our museum’s location on unceded Native land.
