Curator Talk | Bob Haozous: A Retrospective View

Final Opportunity to Explore Bob Haozous: A Retrospective View with Heard Museum Chief Curator Diana Pardue

This is your final opportunity to hear directly from Heard Museum Chief Curator Diana Pardue about Bob Haozous: A Retrospective View before the exhibition closes on November 30! In this special 30-minute talk, Pardue will share insights from her close collaboration with artist Bob Haozous (Warm Springs Chiricahua Apache) in shaping this first major retrospective of his work. Spanning six decades and featuring more than 75 pieces—including sculpture, painting, prints, and jewelry—the exhibition captures Haozous’s incisive social commentary and overlooked contributions to contemporary art.

Known for using satire and irony, Haozous challenges perceptions of Indigenous art, exploring its place as art, commodity, and cultural practice while reflecting on the philosophical meaning of being Indigenous in the postmodern world. Don’t miss this final opportunity to experience the exhibition through the perspective of the curator who worked side-by-side with the artist to bring it to life.

This Curator Talk is included with regular admission and FREE for members. Tour meets at the Info Desk.
