CURRENT EXHIBITION
Celebrating Complexities
On view from February 12 to May 17, 2024
Celebrating Complexities features the recipients of the Ucross Fellowship for Native American Visual Artists in 2022 and 2023:
The exhibition is guest curated by Brenda Mallory (Cherokee Nation), a recipient of the Ucross Fellowship for Native American Visual Artists in 2018, the first year of the program.
Celebrating Complexities showcases the work of four talented artists who work across many different mediums, including photography, sculpture, painting, drawing, printmaking, beading, quillwork, and basketmaking. Hailing from diverse backgrounds, geographies, and tribal affiliations, they are at different stages in their careers. Each artist explores and celebrates complex ideas in their work, looking at the specific to elucidate the universal. They emphasize their connections to their families, their ancestors, and their communities, presenting an Indigenous worldview that encompasses the past, the present, and the future. They are reclaiming materials and techniques, narratives and identities, and their work tells rich contemporary stories about people and cultures that are vital and thriving.
Meet the artists and curator behind the exhibition during two free events on Friday, May 3:
After the exhibition departs the Ucross Art Gallery, Celebrating Complexities will travel to the Yellowstone Art Museum in Billings, Montana, where it will be on view from June 21 to October 6, 2024.
