An Indigenous Present Opens Friday, June 26

Spanning one hundred years of modern and contemporary Indigenous art, An Indigenous Present includes works by artists who use strategies of abstraction to represent personal and collective narratives, describe specific and imagined places, and build upon cultural and aesthetic traditions. Co-organized by artist Jeffrey Gibson and independent curator Jenelle Porter, the exhibition offers an expansive consideration of Indigenous art practices, highlighting a continuum of elders and emerging makers.
