2/2/25 - Michael Holloman
Anne Keala Kelly (Kanaka Maoli), co-host, is sitting for Tiokasin Ghosthorse this week. She talks for the entire hour with Michael Holloman (Colville Confederated Tribes) about Japanese photographer Frank S. Matsura (1873-1913), the subject of the exhibition "Frank S. Matsura: Portraits from the Borderland" that opened on Feb. 1 at the High Desert Museum in Bend, Oregon. The exhibition examines Indigenous representation and identity during a period of regional transformation in the early years of the 20th century. Michael is the lead curator of the original exhibition, which premiered at the Northwest Museum of Arts and Cultures in Spokane, Washington. He has guided the High Desert Museum's showing. The exhibition will be on view at the High Desert Museum through Sept. 7, 2025 and is traveling under the auspices of Art Bridges. More information at https://highdesertmuseum.org/
Michael works and lives in the ancestral homelands of the Nimiipuu and Palus peoples. He is an Associate Professor of Art and coordinator of Native Arts, Outreach and Education for the College of Arts and Sciences at Washington State University. Throughout his professional career he has developed extensive relationships with Native communities, artists, and cultural organizations across the region that support art-based programming and partnerships.
