The Bridge    

Free program, registration required. Because of limited space in the tipi, there will be the option to register for 20-minute storytelling sessions, which begin on the half hour; walk-ins are permitted as space allows, and it is possible to register for multiple sessions.   

In the Northern Plains, winter is storytelling season. For two nights only, a traditional lodge, or tipi, will rise in the Joslyn Art Museum’s Scott Pavilion, and all are invited to listen to stories that have been generously shared with Steve Tamayo (Sicangu Lakota), Omaha-based artist and National Heritage Fellow. The tipi canvas will light up with live image mapping projection art, as people of all ages are invited inside to listen to storytellers share stories of origin and belonging to these Great Plains in the heart of winter. Held in conjunction with the exhibition, Dripping Earth: Cannupa Hanska Luger, this immersive experience connects the past, present, and future of the land.
