Ancient Intelligence: Art, Ceremony, and Cultural Memory

Ancient Intelligence: Art, Ceremony, and Cultural Memory is an intimate fundraising dinner celebrating art as a living practice of cultural expression and knowledge. Through visual art, spoken word, traditional song, music, and conversation, this evening honors artists who work within and across cultural traditions - keeping ancestral practices alive while creating new forms of expression. These practices have carried knowledge and wisdom across human societies throughout history and remain vital in communities worldwide today. We’ll hear from artists about what their work means within their cultural contexts, experience performances that draw on deep lineages, and engage in dialogue about the role of art in sustaining communities.
