We’re pleased to announce the first exhibition of our 2022-2023 Lectures and Exhibits Series. Don’t miss the exhibition by Chris T. Cornelius, founding principal of studio: indigenous, a design practice serving Indigenous clients.

The exhibit entitled Relatives explores a critical component of Indigenous ontology about the notion of relationality. Cornelius states, “That is, the concept that all living things are related. That relation is familial, and we have responsibility for fostering and being good stewards of those relationships. I believe we should be thinking about architecture as our relations. Buildings are characters and actors within the living world. They breathe, sweat and produce waste. I try to expand the notion of how architecture can be thought of as living actors in our world. To me, this includes the modalities we use to represent our designed relatives.”

The exhibit will be featured in the Ewing Gallery of the Art + Architecture in the Art + Architecture Building from Sept. 21 – Oct. 21, 2022 .

Cornelius also will lead gallery talks with many studios throughout the day, Sept. 21, giving students an opportunity to meet Cornelius and discuss his important work.
