About:
Present Tense Indigeneity is an exhibition that acknowledges and celebrates six contemporary Indigenous artists and their role in the 21st century art world. By emphasizing the current impact and importance of these artists, their work, and their respective communities, we further unravel outdated narratives and ideologies seen through the lens of colonialist history. Each artist uses their own innovative materials and progressive approach to art-making, addressing issues from commentary on the use of sacred tribal homelands to identity, and the misrepresentation of American Natives through popular culture. The intended goal of the exhibition is to help reconcile the past by raising awareness of the present contributions Indigenous artists are making in today's art world.
