Planning of a traveling exhibition on the Brooklyn Museum of Art’s collection of Hopi Katsina dolls. 

The Brooklyn Museum requests funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities to support a 12-month planning grant as we develop "Katsinam: Spirits of the Hopi World" (working title), a large-scale exhibition and accompanying publication built around our extraordinary collection of Hopi katsina dolls, dating from the nineteenth century to the present. Beginning in fall 2022, the exhibition will travel to three venues for 12–16 weeks each, before its final presentation at the Brooklyn Museum (tentatively scheduled for winter/spring 2023), accompanied by a suite of public and educational programs for our general audiences of nearly 700,000 each year.
