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.

Experience a deep dive into select artworks from The World in Kansas City exhibition through presentations by UMKC students.

UMKC Insights: Student Perspectives on The World in Kansas City

Each student group will highlight an artist and artwork from the exhibition as part of their course World Currents of Contemporary Art, led by Professor Cristina Albu. The World Currents of Contemporary Art course provides an introduction to the densely interconnected trajectories of contemporary art across different parts of the world.

Student groups will share their research on a featured artwork in the exhibition, situating it within the local and the global art context. They will also connect the work of choice with art tendencies they studied over the course of the semester and personal memories of Kansas City sites.

Join us to learn more about the artists and artworks featured in The World in Kansas City through a unique, local lens!
