Lectures and Talks

Anna Tsouhlarakis (born 1977, Lawrence, Kansas) uses a stereotype-busting sense of humor to reframe discussions about Native American art and identity. For more than two decades, she has centered Native histories in her practice to address indigenous rights and strategies of decolonization in the United States. From sculptures composed of Ikea furniture remnants, animal parts, and found objects, to large-format text paintings and installations, Tsouhlarakis offers deeper insight into the contemporary Native experience.

A recipient of the Creative Capital Award (2021), Louis Comfort Tiffany Award (2023), and Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship (2024), Tsouhlarakis has had solo exhibitions at the Fine Arts Center Museum at Colorado College, Colorado Springs; Museum of Contemporary Art Denver; and Wexner Center for the Arts at The Ohio State University, Columbus. She has participated in various artist residencies at MacDowell, Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, and Yaddo. Her work is in the permanent collections of the Fine Arts Center Museum at Colorado College; New Mexico Museum of Art, Santa Fe; Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art, Arizona; and Spencer Museum of Art, University of Kansas, Lawrence.

An enrolled member of the Navajo Nation and of Creek and Greek descent, Tsouhlarakis received a BA in 1999 from Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire and an MFA in 2002 from Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut. She is an associate professor of arts practices at the University of Colorado, Boulder.
