Description
Summary:"Curated by artist Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, this exhibition brings together works by an intergenerational group of nearly 50 living Native artists practicing across the United States. Their powerful expressions reflect the diversity of Native American individual, regional, and cultural identities. At the same time, these works share a worldview informed by thousands of years of reverence, study, and concern for the land. 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."--From the National Gallery of Art's website.
