Each of the three conferences in “The Forgotten Canopy” Core Program at the UCLA Clark Library will be accompanied by a Native American community-based workshop in Southern California throughout 2022–23. The Director of the American Indian Studies Center (AISC), Shannon Speed, is working with Stella Nair and Paul Niell, the Conference organizers, and Los Angeles-based Native Communities to plan and schedule these workshops, which aim to amplify the critical contributions of Native Americans and African Americans to the architecture of the Americas. The Workshops will expand the conference discussions through on-site visits to locations and collections of Native and African American significance in the Los Angeles area. These workshops are funded by the Terra Foundation for American Art.
