approaches to Indigenous concepts, forms and mediums -- A Wall Street
Journal 2023 holiday gift guide pick
This landmark volume
is a gathering of Native North American contemporary artists,
musicians, filmmakers, choreographers, architects, writers,
photographers, designers and more. Conceived by Jeffrey Gibson, a
renowned artist of Mississippi Choctaw and Cherokee descent, An
Indigenous Present presents an increasingly visible and expanding
field of Indigenous creative practice. It centers individual
practices, while acknowledging shared histories, to create a visual
experience that foregrounds diverse approaches to concept, form and
medium as well as connection, influence, conversation and
collaboration. An Indigenous Present foregrounds
transculturalism over affiliation and contemporaneity over outmoded
categories.
