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.

Musical Spectrum of Color newEar Contemporary Chamber Ensemble

Inspired by color and time, Kemper Museum welcomes the return of newEar Contemporary Chamber Ensemble as they present a performance series connected to the retrospective exhibition, Virginia Jaramillo: Principles of Equivalence.

NewEar is a professional chamber music ensemble featuring the music of living composers. Programming a wide range of musicians, instrumentations and styles, newEar often blurs the boundaries of classical art music, rock, jazz, world music, and the avant garde, creating eclectic musical interpretations.
