Hi Lane, I'm waiting for Odegaard Library at UW to confirm if they can host us - I do not know when I'll hear back from them. I've been talking to Indigenous scholars and scholars of Indigenous art to come up with a preliminary list of names and topics relating to Indigenous women artists that need editing so I can start researching and collecting reference materials on them. Thanks for the help,
