Art historian Rebecca Albiani guides us through An Indigenous Present — the Frye Art Museum's major fall exhibition opening November 7. Curated by renowned Choctaw and Cherokee artist Jeffrey Gibson and independent curator Jenelle Porter, the exhibition showcases fifteen contemporary Native American artists whose work uses abstraction to carry personal and collective narratives, describe real and imagined places, and build upon cultural and aesthetic traditions.
Emerging from Gibson and Porter's landmark 2023 publication of the same name, An Indigenous Present offers an expansive consideration of Indigenous art today — honoring a continuum of elders and emerging makers while demonstrating the endless variability of abstraction and its capacity to hold multiple forms and histories.
In honor of Native Heritage Month, Rebecca introduces us to the exhibition and to the startling variety of ways these artists enfold their traditional cultures in modern materials and meanings.
