Among the upcoming exhibitions at the Zimmerli Art Museum is Indigenous Identities: Here, Now & Always.
On view through December 21, this unprecedented survey of contemporary Native American art is curated by Jaune Quick-to-See Smith (Citizen of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Nation), marking the largest curatorial endeavor in the acclaimed artist’s 60-year career and emphasizing her pivotal role in bringing forth a living Native Art history.
Comprising over 100 works across a range of media, from beadwork and jewelry to video and painting, Indigenous Identities foregrounds the significance of identity in artmaking through the diverse practices of 97 artists, representing more than 50 distinct Indigenous nations and tribes across the United States.
The opening reception is February 1 from 5-8 pm. From 5 to 6 pm, artists Neal-Ambrose Smith and John Hitchcock will have a conversation about the exhibit. A reception will immediately follow the talk, from 6 to 8 pm. Free food and drink will be provided. Free and open to the public.
