Coiling Kin: Exploring Collaborative/Relational Curation in Museum Practice

A free, public roundtable introduces several co-curators whose collaboration with the Maxwell Museum will result in the upcoming exhibit, “Coiling Kin: The Life of Pueblo Pottery.” Co-curated by Dr. Lea McChesney, the exhibit highlights selections from the permanent collection interpreted by 25 Pueblo co-curators. The informal discussion of their three-year collaboration, moderated by Dr. McChesney, features panelists Dolores Lewis Garcia (Acoma Pueblo), Marita Hinds (Tesuque Pueblo), Deborah Jojola (Isleta Pueblo), Lorraine Gala Lewis (Laguna/Hopi/Taos Pueblos), Claudia Mitchell (Acoma Pueblo), and Judy Tafoya (Santa Clara Pueblo). The Local Day event opens the 2026 Society for Applied Anthropology annual meeting taking place in Albuquerque from March 17 - 21, 2026. Visit the SfAA website for more details.
