Homelands: Conversations About Native Art and Museums

Homelands: Conversations About Native Art and Museums (November 13-14, 2025) is a gathering that celebrates the enduring impact of Indigenous makers, while examining the role of museums in displaying and interpreting their works. Featuring workshops and panels with distinguished artists and curators, as well as a fashion show, this gathering offers an opportunity for healing and discussion, guided by a series of questions: what is the responsibility of museums towards Native heritage and contemporary art? How can museums and Native communities become allies in promoting Indigenous creativity? How can the Indigenous makers of today learn from their elders and navigate a complex art field?

This symposium is part of the programming for the reinstallation of Homelands: Mnë’nának, Māēnāēwah, Tešišik at the Milwaukee Art Museum. Your conference registration guarantees your admission to the Milwaukee Art Museum on November 13 and 14, 2025.

I had the privilege to head to ATL this past weekend to attend the Symposium sponsored by 🙌🏿

Running Genre is often a solitary event, which I love mostly as introverts do, but more and more I feel the need to be in community with people who do the work I do. This gave me that opportunity in a major way. Additionally, I had sometime to stop and think. 💭

Can’t wait until the next one!

—poet. Sue has self-published three books of poetry:

•“In the Field, Autobiography of an Inspector” (2018) is a full-length collection, with cover art by Anja Notanja Sieger.

•“The Beer Line” (2022) is a chapbook illustrated by Sara Gail Luther.

•“All the Secrets Around Me” in April 2025 in which she used her own photo collection, along with executing the design and illustration herself.

She is a very visual poet. She draws on all the experiences she’s had as a “paid observer” when she worked as a food inspector for the Milwaukee Health Department; and things she sees on her walks.

We Are Genre.

Genre: Urban Arts is a playground for creatives. Our global contributorship includes artists who are committed to their crafts from photography to spoken-word. We also offer exhibiting & performing opportunities for visual & performance artists via pop-up galleries. Anyone can submit their work to be published in our print magazine & on our site.

Founder and Editor-in-chief, Nakeysha Roberts Washington, launched Genre: Urban Arts in December 2015 as a quarterly magazine publication & a blog featuring daily site posts from contributors. We are based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, but home to 60+ creatives who all have their own medium in which they create— Their own Genre.

Genre: Urban Arts is a true friend to the creative, a support for the artist in a world that wants us to end our dance with our connection to divinity- end our connection with the most innate part of ourselves. Here we are protected & freed from the societal pressures of mundanity.

We welcome you, #GenreFam!
