Art For Lunch: Mark Medley: The West in Focus: Indigenous People
Wednesday, April 1, 2026, 12:15 PM - 1:30 PM

This midday presentation, inspired by the current exhibition, The West in Focus: Indigenous People, is a look at the Indigenous people and artists represented in the Booth Museum’s permanent photography collection. Curator of Photography Mark Medley will present a range of works by both Native and non-Native photographers, from nineteenth-century pioneers including William Henry Jackson, Jennie Ross Cobb, and Edward S. Curtis to modern artists such as Zoë Marieh Urness, Kevin Garrett, and Douglas Miles. A particular highlight will be eight portraits of Native American survivors of the Battle of the Little Bighorn, made during a 1948 reunion by South Dakota photographer Bill Groethe.

Lunch will be available for $15.00 plus tax. Deadline to register for lunch is Noon, March 31.
