Informed by Dr. Reed’s research and scholarship, they discuss ways that white supremacy bears upon climate issues, as well as Indigenous relationships to land and ecological management systems within the context of current wildfire management in California.
The conversation is introduced by Michael Darling, former MCA James W. Alsdorf Chief Curator, and Connie Butler, Hammer Museum Chief Curator, who are organizing the exhibition Andrea Bowers at the MCA and the Hammer Museum.
