Noontime Artist Talk and Book Signing with Maya Attean

Collection artist, Maya Attean, offers a noontime talk on her photographs included in Holding the Light exhibition from the Abbe Museum and her new monograph, Does the Land Remember?

After the gallery talk, Maya will offer a book signing of the monograph which is a photographic exploration of the Wabanaki landscape, examining the deep and complex relationship between land, history, and identity. Rooted in Wabanaki history and culture, this project investigates the reverberations of colonization, the scars left on both the earth and the body, and the spirit that persists despite displacement from the land. Through image-making, Attean weaves together forgotten truths and personal narratives, engaging with the land as both witness and archive.
