SITE SANTA FE is thrilled to honor Candice Hopkins (citizen of Carcross/Tagish First Nation), Executive Director and Chief Curator of Forge Project and curator of Indian Theater: Native Performance, Art, and Self-Determination since 1969. Throughout her career, Candice’s incisive exploration of the intersections of history, contemporary art, and Indigeneity has brought forth thoughtful, revelatory, and internationally acclaimed curatorial projects. Her previous work with SITE SANTA FE has included co-curating two International Biennials—SITElines 2014: Unsettled Landscapes and SITElines 2018: Casa tomada—and presenting an array of public programs, performances, and talks over the years. It is our great pleasure to recognize Candice’s visionary leadership as we present her latest dynamic and multifaceted exhibition, Indian Theater, at SITE SANTA FE.

Join us for an evening shaped by curiosity, connection, and shared support for SITE SANTA FE. Immersed within Indian Theater: Native Performance, Art, and Self-Determination since 1969 curated by Candice Hopkins, patrons are welcomed to a reenvisioning of our Annual Benefit. This beloved summer event seeks to build and strengthen SITE SANTA FE’s community of support, gathering patrons around our institution’s artist-centric mission and raising essential funds to continue the exhibitions, education initiatives, and community programming that have positioned SITE as a beacon and a changemaker in the contemporary art world.
