“The Land Carries Our Ancestors: Contemporary Art by Native Americans”
Curated by artist Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, The Land Carries Our Ancestors highlights artworks by nearly 50 living Native artists that powerfully visualize Indigenous culture and knowledge of the land. Brought together by Smith, this multigenerational, diverse group of artists works across the United States and spans a range of practices—reflecting the diversity of Native expression. At the same time, these works share a worldview informed by a reverence and concern for the land. Plan your visit at nbmaa.org.
