"Creative Sovereignty and the Story of Falling Rock" with Gerald Clarke, halley k harrisburg '90 and Michael Rosenfeld Artist-in Residence

Gerald Clarke, a Cahuilla artist, activist, and scholar, will describe his creative process of integrating the ancient and contemporary history and culture of the Cahuilla Indians into artistic expression. He will explore how his sculptures, installations, and conceptual art draw on cultural knowledge and how his work exists within a spectrum of Indigenous expression that is simultaneously ancient and contemporary.

The halley k harrisburg '90 and Michael Rosenfeld Artist in Residence program is the result of a generous gift that allows Bowdoin College to invite internationally renowned artists to campus to work directly with students and the broader College community to enhance the learning experience.

Bowdoin College is committed to providing an accessible and welcoming environment.
