The Spencer Museum of Art opened an exhibit based on the rematriation of Iⁿ‘zhúje‘waxóbe, the Sacred Red Rock, to Allegawaho Park near Council Grove, Kansas. The exhibit features work by Native and non-Native artists primarily produced in community workshops in Lawrence, Kansas, that explored the historical and cultural significance of the the rock to Kaw Nation and the rematriation process. In 1929 it was removed from it’s original location at the confluence of the Kansas River and the Shunganunga River near Topeka, and turned into a monument commemorating the founders of Lawrence.
Grossman created three works, an oil and two watercolors, of Iⁿ‘zhúje‘waxóbe during a Sacred Red Rock workshop on July 23, 2023, in Robinson Park, a day before the area was fenced off in preparation for the rock’s removal. Two of those works were on display in the exhibit.
