Tinworks Art: In Conversation - Indigenous Food Sovereignty: Cultural Revitalization through Food with Mariah Gladstone and Jill Falcon Ramaker

Tinworks Art: In Conversation brings together artists, writers, scientists, and creative thinkers from various fields to discuss the topics of our time.
The conversations have been developed in consideration of artist Agnes Denes’ new work, Wheatfield—: An Inspiration. The seed is in the ground, presented at Tinworks for the 2024 exhibition season, and in collaboration with Mary Stein, a community leader in sustainable food systems endeavors and recently retired program leader of the Sustainable Food and Bioenergy Systems degree program at Montana State University.
Mariah Gladstone (Blackfeet, Cherokee) grew up in Northwest Montana. She graduated from Columbia University with a degree in Environmental Engineering and returned home where she developed Indigikitchen.
Jill Falcon Ramaker (Anishinaabe: Turtle Mountain Ojibwe) directs the Buffalo Nations Food Systems Initiative at Montana State University, an education and research initiative in support of intertribal food sovereignty aligned with the Buffalo Treaty.
