Fowler Exhibition Opening Celebration: Fire Kinship
January 11 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Join the Fowler Museum for the opening of the exhibition Fire Kinship: Southern California Native Ecology and Art. The evening will begin with a welcome from a local California Indian community, followed by a celebration with food, dance, and music.
Fire Kinship, the Fowler’s second PST ART exhibition, seeks to counter attitudes of fear and illegality around fire, arguing for a return to Native practices in which fire is regarded as a vital aspect of land stewardship, community well-being, and tribal sovereignty. The exhibition, on view through July 13, 2025, presents a living history that centers the expertise of Tongva, Cahuilla, Luiseño, and Kumeyaay communities past and present.
