The Tracks We Leave

WHERE: Intel, Jones Farm Campus 1, 2111 NE 25th Ave, Hillsboro, OR 97124

WHEN: Tuesday, November 20, 2:00pm – 4:00pm

We are thrilled to continue our collaboration with the Intel Native American Employees Network, which prepared a prototype “Noggin Box” for our recent Spirit Mountain Community Fund supported outreach with public schools in Lincoln and Yamhill counties…

LEARN MORE: Synapses, Stories & Song!

During a discussion with Shashi Jain, an Innovation Manager and Startup Program Lead at Intel and Theresa Smith, the Culture Teacher at Siletz Valley Early College Academy, Theresa described an infuriating event which featured “Black art, Latino art  –  and Native artifacts”  –  as if somehow valuable Native art wasn’t currently being made…

Shashi spoke with Jeff Leake, the Arts Coordinator for NW Noggin, who put him in touch with three celebrated Native artists. Phillip Benjamin Thomas (Chickasaw Nation), Stephanie Littlebird Fogel (Clatsop and Kalapuya), and Don Bailey (Hupa) all contributed artwork, which is now on display at Intel this month!

Thank you Intel for inviting us to campus!

We’ll have the opportunity to view the work, we’ll present brains and art from Synapses & Stories  –  and we’ll accept 50 donated Noggin boxes from Intel, filled with pipe cleaners, 3D printed brains, and art project instructions, to continue our outreach in public schools!!!
