The College of Built Environments (CBE) Diversity Council invites you to visit the latest Gould Gallery exhibit, Acknowledging the Land We Stand On, open now through November 14. This exhibit offers a space for reflection and dialogue about Native American culture and community.
Central to the installation is the Burke Museum’s On Our Terms video project, which grounds itself in the storytelling of commonly used Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, and Inclusion (DEAI) terms like decolonization, consultation, and healing.
What does decolonization look like? How has cultural erasure impacted your life? Where is the line between celebration and appropriation? Through personal stories and unique perspectives, these videos present a nuanced collage of how people understand these words. Visitors are encouraged to reflect on their own definitions by engaging in an interactive art installation.
