Jaune Quick-to-See Smith curates 'The Land Carries Our Ancestors'

The Land Carries Our Ancestors: Contemporary Art by Native Americans, curated by Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, brings together nearly 50 indigenous artists from across the United States. The show celebrates both the rich diversity among Native American communities and the shared connection that unites them: a deep reverence for, and knowledge of, the land. 

Through a variety of practices—including weaving, beadwork, sculpture, painting, printmaking, drawing, photography, performance, and video—these artists visualise Indigenous customs that have been cultivated and passed down for thousands of years. Together, the works in The Land Carries Our Ancestors underscore the self-determination, survivance, and right to self-representation of Indigenous peoples. 

The exhibition is generously supported by The Robert and Mercedes Eichholz Foundation.
