Native American artists, political leaders and storytellers are the final arbiters of taste and style for a traveling exhibition of pottery from the Pueblo Indian region of the Southwestern U.S.
Finishing touches are made on a community-curated exhibition of Native American pottery from the Pueblo Indian region of the U.S. Southwest on July 28, 2022, at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture in Santa Fe, N.M. The exhibit includes poems and reflections to give great voice to Indigenous people. Showings also are scheduled at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and museums in Houston and St. Louis.
Among the many curators, Tara Gatewood — a broadcaster and familiar voice across Indian Country from the daily talk radio show “Native American Calling” — picked out an ancestral jar decorated with curling arrows that was created roughly 1,000 years ago.“Is your blood mine?” she said. “Where else beyond the surface of this vessel do your fingerprints appear on the blueprint of my own life?”” debuted July 31 at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture in Santa Fe.
They include an array of accomplished potters, jewelers, bead makers, fashion designers and museum professionals — among them, sculptor Cliff Fragua, who created the likeness of 1680 pueblo revolt leader Po'pay that stands in National Statutory Hall in the U.S. Capitol.
