The Nevada Museum of Art will present an artist talk with Eddie Rodolfo Aparicio on July 30, 2026, as part of its ‘Into the Time Horizon’ program of talks and events. The Reno museum says the free-ranging discussion, titled ‘Artist Talk: Materiality and Environmental Justice with Eddie Rodolfo Aparicio,’ will run from 6 to 7 pm and focus on the social and environmental histories embedded in material and place-making.
According to the museum’s event listing, Aparicio’s presentation will center on ‘The Ceiba Saved Me,’ also identified on the site as ‘La ceiba me salvó / The Ceiba Saved Me,’ a work currently on view in the ‘This Vital Earth’ section of ‘Into the Time Horizon.’ The museum describes the work as using rubber castings of ficus trees to capture texture while tracing layered histories that include Indigenous knowledge of latex and the migration of people and plants across borders into the United States.
The artist talk extends the interpretive framework of ‘Into the Time Horizon,’ the museum’s major exhibition devoted to environmental concerns and future-facing ideas of responsibility and care. The exhibition opened on November 15, 2025, and runs through January 3, 2027. The museum says it occupies every gallery and includes nearly 200 artists working across media, with seven thematic sections and several large-scale installations.
Within that broad exhibition, ‘This Vital Earth’ is one of the sections most directly connected to the museum’s current programming around ecology, environmental justice and collaborative models of thinking about land and climate. The institution’s calendar describes Aparicio as Los Angeles-based, and positions his talk as an opportunity to explore “interwoven social and environmental histories” through his process of casting ficus trees in rubber.
The museum’s July email newsletter also highlighted the talk as one item in a busy summer schedule that includes public programs, performances and family events. In that newsletter, the museum said Aparicio’s work traces “both Indigenous knowledge and the migration of people and plants into the United States,” underscoring the way the talk fits into the exhibition’s larger emphasis on ecology, social history and the movement of living material across borders.
The event is one of several public programs tied to ‘Into the Time Horizon’ in late July and August. Other listed events include ‘Once Every Other Week,’ a dance work by choreographer Angela Ritchie on July 31, and ‘Work in Progress: Odili Donald Odita in Conversation with Torkwase Dyson’ on August 4. The museum also continues to present gallery tours and family programming while ‘Into the Time Horizon’ remains on view in Reno through January 3, 2027.
