In response to a controversial tourism ad campaign that incorporated a quote by Georgia O’Keeffe, Tewa Nangeh/Tewa Country: Tewa Interpretations of “O’Keeffe Country” seeks to engage and build community with native citizens of the region.

Moving well past a land acknowledgement affixed to the wall, this exhibition and its programming offer deep engagement – the kind necessary to build lasting relationships with communities whose artists have been historically excluded from institutional presentations and programming.
