Kay WalkingStick | The Land Carries Our Ancestors: Contemporary Art by Native Americans | New Britain Museum of American Art

Hales is excited to announce Kay WalkingStick's inclusion in The Land Carries Our Ancestors: Contemporary Art by Native Americans  at New Britain Museum of American Art until 15 September 2024. 

 

Curated by artist, educator, editor, activist, and writer Jaune Quick-to-See Smith (Citizen of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Nation), The Land Carries Our Ancestors: Contemporary Art by Native Americans 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, including weaving, beadwork, sculpture, painting, drawing, photography, performance, and video. Their means of making reflects the diversity of Native expression according to individual, regional, and cultural identities. At the same time, these works share a worldview informed by a reverence and concern for the land.
