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.

A Talk & Tasting with Marissa Gencarelli, Co-Owner of Yoli Tortilleria

In Community "Sobremesa" A Talk & Tasting with Marissa Gencarelli

"Sobremesa" refers to the Spanish tradition of lingering and enjoying each other's company following a meal.

In that same spirit, Kemper Museum invites you for a talk with Marissa Gencarelli, co-founder of Yoli Tortillera, joined by Liz Cook, former food critic and freelance writer for a conversation, highlighting Gencarelli’s story and her creative voice and leadership in Kansas City.

Listen in as they discuss the power of passion, food, advocacy and community all while making connections to Kemper Museum’s current Atrium project, Lucia Vidales: Hambre.

Afterwards, join in conversation along with a masa tasting provided by Yoli Tortilleria.
