Location: 600 S. Michigan Ave. – Ferguson Lecture Hall

About The Event
The Museum of Contemporary Photography and the Photography Department at Columbia College Chicago are honored to have Marianne Nicolson in Chicago to present as part of the spring 2024 Lecture in Photography series.

Marianne Nicolson is an artist activist of the Musgamakw Dzawada’enuxw First Nations. Her practice is multi-disciplinary, encompassing photography, painting, carving, video, installation, monumental public art, writing, and speaking. Nicolson’s work stems from a strong belief in the value of Indigenous philosophies and ways of being on the land and driven by a mandate for social justice and the well being of all peoples. She questions the social and political contexts which frame the existence of her Nation, the Dzawada’enuxw of the Kwakwaka’wakw peoples.
