Opening Night Spotlight: Hear a Special Welcome from Tulsa Mayor Monroe Nichols!

From Executive Producer Bradley Cooper and narrated by Uzo Aduba, Caregiving is a deeply moving documentary that shines a light on the lives of paid and unpaid caregivers across the country. Through intimate personal stories and untold history, the film explores the emotional labor, societal gaps and quiet heroism of those who care for others, often with little support.

Join us for two powerful evenings of film and facilitated dialogue. Caregiving will be screened in halves over the two nights. Following the screening, attendees will hear from a panel of speakers.

108|Contemporary is thrilled to present our next exhibition, "Still," featuring the work of longtime friends and artists Lissa Hunter, Jane Sauer, Jo Stealey, and Carol Stein. Stemming from stillness, observation, and awareness, "Still" is a look at life from four perspectives over time.

Join us this 918 Day for an evening of creativity and community! // ¡Acompáñanos para una noche de creatividad y comunidad!

Make your own mural to take home and help paint a community mural to be displayed in the Martin Regional Library. This isn't just art; it's a chance to tell your story and add to the dynamic spirit of our community.

Explore the wonder and enchantment of the Aegean islands right here in the heart of Tulsa, OK. Our festival will whisk you away with authentic Greek food and drink, live music, traditional folk dancing, shopping, and cultural experiences!

This is our 65th year of celebrating and sharing the Greek culture with the Tulsa Community through the “longest running ethnic festival” in town. We’re excited to host you and your whole family on a hellenic adventure like no other!

This presentation titled “Mapping Time and Space: Indigenous Knowledge, Calendars, and Geography” explores the process of translating Indigenous knowledge into standardized visualization and virtual reality (VR) technologies. Our research team collaborated with Otomi timekeepers and knowledge holders from Central Mexico—a region the Otomi people have inhabited for over 7,000 years—cultivating their rich traditions of astronomy and timekeeping.

Through a series of collaborative design meetings, Otomi knowledge holders, timekeepers, community members, academics, artists, and VR technicians contracted a culturally appropriate and visually compelling dome planetarium presentation guided by the Otomi calendar system.

This project not only aims to preserve and share the Otomi’s profound understanding of time and the cosmos but also to inspire youth and broader audiences through immersive storytelling.

About the Lecturer:

Mark Palmer is a professor of geography at the University of Missouri. Professor Palmer’s research focuses the social dimensions of geographic information systems (GIS) and Indigenous research sovereignty networks.

Archival research has taken him to UNESCO in Paris, France and ethnocartography fieldwork at Tongariro National Park and with the Muaūpoko iwi in Levin, New Zealand. Palmer is currently working on a book describing the processes of translating Otomi calendar knowledge into a dome planetarium presentation as a form of digital heritage.

Otomi people have inhabited the central Mexico plateau for at least seven thousand years. Over this period, they have cultivated a vast knowledge of astronomy and timekeeping. Palmer writes about the participatory processes of Indigenous technoscience design as a form of Indigenous research sovereignty. He and his colleagues work were funded by the National Science Foundation, the Royal Society of New Zealand, and the Taylor Geospatial Institute.

Palmer teaches Indigenous geographies, GIS, and environmental geography at Mizzou. He is a member of the Kiowa Tribe of Oklahoma and Kiowa Gourd Clan.
