Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art acknowledges it resides on the ancestral territory of the Osage, Kaw, and Otoe-Missouria, among other tribal nations forcibly moved to the region such as the Shawnee, Wyandot, Delaware, Potawatomi, Sac and Fox and Kiikaapoi (Kickapoo) nations. We recognize and support the continued vibrancy of Native communities and cultures today who continue to thrive, as well as the inherent sovereignty of tribal nations. We are compelled to serve and advocate for these communities in accordance with our public mission.

Kemper Museum acknowledges and respects the diversity of Native people connected to this land today. Many recognize the land and all beings who live within it as relatives. We acknowledge the earth we inhabit, the waters of the Blue River, the Kansas River, the Missouri River, and the plants, animals, and people supported by them. 

We acknowledge our responsibility to be good caretakers of the land we occupy.

"Music is a space of convening," Jessica S. Hong Chief Curator, Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art

Please note, this event was rescheduled (previously February 15, now March 1) due to inclement weather. 

Join us for a unique "freestyle" silent concert featuring Kemper Museum's Chief Curator, Jessica S. Hong, in conjunction with the opening of Riffs on Real Time, which explores the expansive possibilities of riffing. While wearing wireless headphones, experience the full production of Echoes & Reverberations orchestrated by Silent KC, inspired by and riffing off of works included in the exhibition.

Grab a bite at Oil on Linen, visit the Museum Shop, and visit the open galleries afterwards.

This event is presented by Silent KC, 2 the Maxxe, and Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art.
