The exhibition is curated by Marwin Begaye (Navajo), a former Ucross artist-in-residence and working artist.

“Cultural resilience is created through language, kinship, knowledge, and our relationship to place,” said Marwin. “The work in this exhibition is rich and diverse. The collective works are visual evidence of diverse Indigenous narratives and a testament to the power held within cultural memories. Each expresses the idea of resilience in their creative voice.”

The event is free and open to the public with required registration.

Please also join us for an artist and curator talk at Sheridan College earlier in the day at 11 a.m. Learn more at ucross.org.
