Virtual Curator's Tour: “Clearly Indigenous," Museum of Indian Arts and Culture

Breaking the boundaries of what is deemed traditional Indigenous art, Museum of Indian Arts & Culture’s new exhibition, Clearly Indigenous, examines how Native artists reinterpret cultural narratives and designs in new mediums. The two-pronged exhibition focuses on how Native artists have melded ancestral ways with new methods and materials in glass, while concurrently examining the historical narrative of how glass art came to Indian Country from a historical perspective. In this virtual tour presented to the Friends of Indian Art, exhibition curator Dr. Leticia Chambers will take visitors through the exhibition, sharing unique and personal stories about the works on display. This event is presented by Friends of Indian Art (FIA), a membership group which supports the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture (MIAC) in Santa Fe, NM. Friends of Indian Art has two missions: to present educational and cultural events about Indian arts and culture, and to purchase pieces of art for the Museum’s permanent collection.
