Join world traveler and anthropologist Dr. Lars Krutak as he shares his ongoing journey to understand how ancient and more contemporary tattoos “make” the people who wear them. Dr. Krutak’s lecture will draw upon material from the Museum of Danish America’s new exhibition "Tattoo: Identity through Ink" as well as his books, including "Ancient Ink: The Archaeology of Tattooing" (University of Washington Press), and Discovery Channel series "Tattoo Hunter."
Krutak is a Research Associate at the Museum of International Folk Art in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and a scholar of body art, authoring four books on the subject of Indigenous body modification.
