Voices & Visions: A Family Day Celebration of Indigenous Culture

Voices & Visions: A Celebration of Indigenous Culture, a family-friendly event inspired by the In Conversation: Will Wilson exhibition at the Albany Museum of Art, invites families and visitors of all ages to explore Indigenous histories, contemporary stories, and artistic traditions through hands-on activities, live performance, and guided conversation. The exhibition and this special Family Day are supported by the generosity of Art Bridges.

The free event features a powerful music and storytelling performance by Native American violinist, actor, storyteller, and U.S. Army Veteran Swil Kanim, whose photograph by Wilson is in the exhibition. 

There also will be a photography booth with props and backdrops inspired by Wilson’s work, craft stations featuring Indigenous-inspired art-making activities, scavenger hunts in the galleries for young visitors, storytelling sessions centering on Native traditions and legends, guided family-friendly tours of the In Conversation: Will Wilson exhibition, an opportunity to Meet the Curator and learn more about the exhibition’s themes and works, and a land acknowledgment led by Dr. Andrew J. Wulf honoring the Indigenous peoples who originally inhabited this land.
