"I had people stopping me on the street and asking me what color I was. People would make comments about my accent, the food I was cooking, my hair, wanting to touch my hair. And when I told them I was Native, they were like, 'Well, you don't look Native.'" —Artist Jessica Clark

"One common theme in all my research and the work I did was balance. There are some Natives who had wonderful experiences in these boarding schools; some had horrific. So, when retelling the story, how do I honor and how do I respect both views on this topic? I consider myself as a conceptual documentarian and I didn't want to overemphasize or underemphasize. It was hard trying to find that balance in that work." —Artist Bishop Ortega

Art for a New Understanding: Native Voices, 1950s to Now is the first exhibition to chart the development of contemporary Indigenous art in the United States and Canada. For generations, Native North American artists have exhibited work mostly outside of mainstream art institutions. Native Voices begins to remedy that division, presenting approximately 60 works of art in a wide variety of media by Native American artists from many nations and regions. The exhibition examines the practices and perspectives of the most influential Native artists and their important contributions to American art, thus reassessing the place of Indigenous art within the art historical canon.

I was taken aback."
