An Indigenous Present, a thematic exhibition spanning one hundred years of modern and contemporary Indigenous art, includes new commissions and significant works by fifteen artists who use strategies of abstraction to represent personal and collective narratives, describe specific and imagined places, and build upon cultural and aesthetic traditions.
Exhibition cocurators Jeffrey Gibson, artist, and Jenelle Porter, independent curator, will come together with Katie Delmez, Frist Art Museum senior curator, for a conversation exploring the ideas, practices, and approaches of Native North American artists featured in the exhibition.
Begin the evening with a live musical performance in the Grand Lobby from 5:15 to 6:15 p.m.
The museum will remain open until 9:00 p.m. to allow guests time to visit the galleries after the conversation.
