Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art acknowledges it resides on the ancestral territory of the Osage, Kaw, and Otoe-Missouria, among other tribal nations forcibly moved to the region such as the Shawnee, Wyandot, Delaware, Potawatomi, Sac and Fox and Kiikaapoi (Kickapoo) nations. We recognize and support the continued vibrancy of Native communities and cultures today who continue to thrive, as well as the inherent sovereignty of tribal nations. We are compelled to serve and advocate for these communities in accordance with our public mission.

Kemper Museum acknowledges and respects the diversity of Native people connected to this land today. Many recognize the land and all beings who live within it as relatives. We acknowledge the earth we inhabit, the waters of the Blue River, the Kansas River, the Missouri River, and the plants, animals, and people supported by them. 

We acknowledge our responsibility to be good caretakers of the land we occupy.

Kemper Museum Streetcar

Learn more about the Kemper Museum Streetcar

Details of Aliza Nisenbaum's painting Dálida and Michael (Serennata del Tres Cubano) are featured on the 2024 Kemper Museum Streetcar. Nisenbaum is known for her brightly-colored paintings and community-based approach to portraiture. She has exhibited her work across the world, working with locals in each city as her subjects—including transit workers on the London Underground for a collaboration with the Tate Modern and airport workers as part of the Queens Museum collaboration with the new La Guardia Airport in New York.

Dálida and Michael (Serennata del Tres Cubano) is part of Aliza Nisenbaum’s series of portraits spotlighting individuals connected to Kansas City salsa music and dance communities commissioned for the 2021 Atrium Project, Aliza Nisenbaum: Aquí Se Puede (Here You Can).
