Recently I came across this small but relevant refreshing exhibition at the National Art Gallery in Washington DC. "The Land Carries Our Ancestors: Contemporary Art by Native Americans" gathering up nearly 50 living Native artist across the United States.
"Through a variety of practices—including weaving, beadwork, sculpture, painting, printmaking, drawing, photography, performance, and video—these artists visualize Indigenous knowledge of land/ landbase/ landscape. Together, the works in The Land Carries Our Ancestors underscore the self-determination, survivance, and right to self-representation of Indigenous peoples. " according to National Art Gallery website
This exhibition is now on view from September 22, 2023 – January 15, 2024 at East Building, Upper Level, West Bridge. Check it out!
