Location: Community Folk Art Center, 805 E. Genesee St.

Partnering with the Syracuse University’s Humanities Center, Alutiiq artist Linda Infante Lyons talks with professor of African American studies and Community Folk Art Center Executive Director Tanisha Jackson about how art and storytelling illuminate the relationships between people, land, and memory, emphasizing the role of Black and Indigenous women in environmental resilience and cultural healing.

Participants are encouraged to engage in conversation and collective action across—and beyond—communities in Syracuse, central New York, and Alaska through creative expression.

This event is part of "Visions of Resilience: Sacred Art & Storied Landscapes," featuring 2026 Jeannette K. Watson Distinguished Visiting Professor, Linda Infante Lyons (April 6-17).
