Inappropriation: Representation and Identity in the American Roadside Landscape

Initial exploration, National Travel and Tourism Week 2023 (May 7 - 13 2023)
Collaborative project with Erika Nelson, Mona Cliff, and Armando Minjarez

Some of our roadside attractions spark joy for the travelling public, but serve as a diminishment of identity for others. Where does nostalgia end and acknowledgement of cultural appropriation begin? Three artists tackle Roadside Inappropriation during Travel and Tourism week 2023 in a pop-up show at one iconic site: TeePee Junction, in Lawrence Kansas.


TEEPEE JUNCTION * Lawrence Kansas * US 40/US 24 intersection

Join Mona Cliff, Armando Minjarez, and Erika Nelson for the conversation May 9 & 10 from Noon - 8 p.m. both days. Art! Fudge! Souvenirs!


Supported in part by an artistic innovation grant from Mid-America Arts Alliance
