Curator Led Tour in Makowa: The Worlds Above Us

Join co-curator and MIAC’s Deputy Director, Dr. Elisabeth Stone for a tour of Makowa: The Worlds Above Us. Occurring once a month for the duration of the exhibition. Free with Museum Admission. 

Look up. What do you see? From radio astronomy to solstice calendars, Indigenous peoples look to the sky for timing, meaning, and beauty. Makowa: The worlds above us juxtaposes ways of seeing, noticing, and understanding the skies and the beings in them. Told through stories of an ever-changing world, the exhibition connects science, stories, and observations.  For Indigenous peoples of the Southwest, observing the sky brings joy, information, and a connection to the worlds above us.
