This exhibition is a broad survey of the work being created by established and emerging Indigenous American artists today. The exhibit explores themes of personal experience, family, history, community, and contemporary issues. The exhibiting artists approach these topics with directness and humor with many using traditional elements and techniques. Observing changes in society and political views, the one constant is that the artists represented in the exhibition hold firmly to their individual cultures.
“From Indigenous communities across the United States, these artists define a new line in the historical continuum of Native identity, offering reinterpreted concepts and forms rooted in a storytelling tradition. Their work addresses land, identity, and visual culture, embodying vibrant contemporary practices that weave together personal and collective histories.
Through repurposed materials and reimagined symbols, they explore interpretations of human behavior—how we treat one another, how we interact with the land. Their sensibilities carry the potential for healing, bridging past and present, and offering new ways of seeing, understanding, and remembering.”
