    In this panel, Marla Allison (Laguna Pueblo painter), Dr. Barbara Mills (U of A Regents' Professor of Anthropology and Curator of Archaeology), and Reid Gómez (writer, scholar, and U of A assistant professor of Women’s and Gender Studies), team up to discuss indigenous female-dominated arts and crafts of the American Southwest and how makers of the past and present have drawn inspiration and power from the creativity of the matriarchs who came before them. The panel will explore the evolution of crafts from a historic perspective and how artists today build on the past legacies of others and how one generation has often built off the last to create new and contemporary artforms.
