It's ON! DoPiKa Project exhibit one of two, DoPiKa: Reinstate at the Mulvane, opens today with the official opening reception being August 1!!

On view in "DoPiKa: Reinstate," a new exhibition that brings together art and historical research to highlight Native Americans connected to Kansas 🎨

"The deconstruction of historical images such as maps and figures allows the art to engage in a reconstructive dialog. This dialog is not complete without the viewer, as it is meant to engage them in a post-colonial conversation about the place."
