About the Exhibition:
Discover new perspectives on landscape, history, and the possibilities of printmaking in this remarkable exhibition showcasing contemporary Native artists. Experience St. Louis in a new light as a historic Indigenous hub of encounter and exchange, transcending its colonialist title, “Gateway to the West.” Revel in the evocative medium of printmaking, where artists masterfully layer imagery, text, and memories to explore themes such as migration, ancestry, and language.
This exhibition is organized by heather ahtone (Choctaw/Chickasaw), Director of Curatorial Affairs at Oklahoma City’s First Americans Museum, and Marwin Begaye (Navajo), Professor of Painting and Printmaking at the University of Oklahoma’s School of Visual Arts. They have collaborated with Jennifer Scanlan, Deputy Director at Craft Alliance, to bring this exhibition to life.
