Opening Reception: Before Dreams Are The Last Place We Find You

  • September 07, 2025
  • 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM
  • Brushwood Center at Ryerson Woods, Riverwoods IL

Please join us at Brushwood Center at Ryerson Woods for an Opening Reception and Artist Talk.

Lydia Cheshewalla
 is an Osage ephemeral artist from Oklahoma, living and working in motion throughout the Great Plains ecoregion. Through the creation of site-specific land art and ephemeral installations grounded in Indigenous land stewardship practices and kinship pedagogies, Lydia engages in multivocal conversations about place and relationship.

Once the work is created, it will be carefully transported to Brushwood Center at Ryerson Woods for installation. Because this work is time and season reliant, what it will look like remains to be seen.

A selection of Cheshewalla’s work will be published by the digital branch of Humans & Nature Press. The Digital Press celebrates diverse sources of wisdom about what it means to be human in an interconnected world. 

RSVP by August 29th Here
