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. The exhibition features Tewa artists’ responses to O’Keeffe’s vision of the land that would also foreground their own experiences and cultural perspectives. 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.
