This exhibition highlights the dynamic, migratory, and sovereign nature of Woodland Native art across time. The featured artists explore and embody visual movement(s) throughout the international meeting places of the Eastern Woodlands, challenging stereotypes, aesthetic and geographic borders, and colonial prerogatives. Join us for a panel and lecture featuring artists from the exhibition and esteemed scholar Gerald Vizenor (Anishinaabe, enrolled citizen of the White Earth Nation) whose writings and influential concepts of survivance and transmotion emphasize the ongoing contemporaneity and sovereignty of Indigenous identities and cultural expression.
