Join us for the opening of Raven Halfmoon: Flags of Our Mothers!
Celebrate Oklahoma artist Raven Halfmoon at Oklahoma Contemporary next Wednesday, November 18, from 5–8 p.m., as we open the first major traveling exhibition dedicated to the Caddo artist.
Born and raised in Norman, Oklahoma, Halfmoon creates monumental ceramic sculptures that explore Caddo heritage, history, identity, and the experiences of women. Her work combines traditional handbuilding techniques with a bold contemporary approach, honoring generations of cultural knowledge while asserting her own voice.
Flags of Our Mothers features some of Halfmoon’s largest sculptures to date, including the towering, twelve-foot Flagbearer. Join us to experience these works and enjoy an evening of art, conversation, light bites, and refreshments.
