RESILIENCE
December 15, 2023
There is one thing that is unmistakably true about Indigenous art and artists. It is resilience. In spite of many obstacles, lack of support, impediments, and many closed doors that these artists experienced through the decades of struggles they never stopped. Indigenous art has blossomed in the last few decades, and it will continue to grow in many directions. In this exhibition, we are presenting some works by artists who are essential for shaping Indigenous art today as well as some contemporary artists whose art may or may not be seen as Indigenous at all. Each artist in this exhibition is depicting their concerns in a unique style that they created. Only resilience can produce this interesting, inspiring, and stimulating dialog that these artists present to us. There is no one way that can describe Indigenous art and artists – their art is diverse and meaningful. |
