This exhibition celebrates some of the critical roles Anishinaabe, Inuit, and Pueblo women fulfill in their families, their communities, the art world, and beyond. Rooted in contemporary and historical artworks, this traveling exhibition explores themes like mothering, making, art world success, spirituality, and continuity in visual culture across generations.

Spanning 125 years from 1895-2021, with the primary focus on contemporary artworks created from the 1960s onward, along with a blend of more historical pieces, these artworks illustrate the continuity as opposed to the differences of Anishinaabe, Inuit, and Pueblo women’s art and experience through shared themes like mothering, making, art world success, spirituality, and continuity in a visual culture that spans generations.

Showcasing twenty-five artworks that provide a glimpse into the vital roles these women’s experiences fulfilled, and continue to fulfill in their families, communities, the contemporary art world, and beyond, the spotlight artists include: Kenojuak Ashevak (Inuit), Kelly Church (Gun Lake Band of Pottawatomi/Grand Traverse Ottawa/Chippewa descent), Maria Martinez (San Ildefonso), and many more.
