groundbreaking exhibition of native american women artists

The retrospective curated by the Minneapolis Institute of Arts  is currently on view at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. 

This landmark exhibition is the first major thematic show to explore the artistic achievements of Native American women. Its presentation at Smithsonian American Art Museum’s Renwick Gallery includes 82 artworks dating from antiquity to the present, made in a variety of media from textiles and beadwork, to sculpture, time-based media and photography. At the core of this exhibition is a firm belief in the power of the collaborative process. A group of exceptional Native women artists, curators, and Native art historians have come together to generate new interpretations and scholarship of this art and their makers, offering multiple points of view and perspectives to enhance and deepen understanding of the ingenuity and innovation that have always been foundational to the art of Native women.
