CfIS Alumni/ae Speaker Series with Candice Hopkins (Carcross/Tagish First Nation), Bard CCS ’03

Candice Hopkins (she/her) serves as Forge Project's executive director and chief curator, working with contemporary Indigenous artists to shape one of the preeminent collections of Native art in the country. Candice is a citizen of the Carcross/Tagish First Nation, spent many years in New Mexico, Canada, and Europe before moving to the unceded lands of the Muh-he-con-ne-ok in upstate New York to help build Forge into what it is today.

“Forge has a unique vision and is unlike any other organization in the country," says Candice. "We are a small and dedicated team that is together looking to reshape dialogues on Indigenous culture. The absence of Indigenous voices from national conversations on history, politics, and culture broadly should not be tolerable. One question we ask ourselves at Forge is how we can create platforms for Indigenous leaders now and for those who will lead us in the future.”
