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.

Celebrate the opening of the "place of dwelling", a new installation by Edra Soto, created for Kemper Museum’s 10th Annual Atrium Project

Edra Soto: the place of dwelling — Member Preview & Artist Talk

Join us to celebrate the opening of the place of dwelling, a newly commissioned installation by Edra Soto, created for Kemper Museum’s 10th Annual Atrium Project. This special evening marks the debut of Soto’s site-responsive work in the Museum’s central atrium and a milestone moment in the Atrium Project’s ten-year history.

Guests are invited to experience the place of dwelling before the public opening, followed by a conversation between Edra Soto and Kevin Moore, Independent Curator. Together, they will explore the ideas, materials, and architectural responses shaping the installation, including Soto’s engagement with vernacular design, personal memory, and sacred symbolism.

The evening concludes with a reception, offering time to revisit the installation and continue the conversation.

Schedule:
5:30 PM — Exhibition Preview and Cash Bar
6:00–7:00 PM — Artist Talk (Edra Soto with Kevin Moore)
