Native Voices comprises three exhibitions of contemporary Native
work. The exhibitions offer a rare opportunity for the New York
public to engage with the work of contemporary Native artists from
Canada and across the U.S.– and it will include some of the
most moving and original work being currently made in any art
community. The works represent a cross-section of contemporary
sensibilities, commenting on the challenges of the postmodern world.
Some deal with issues of identity, including that of being an
outsider in a mass society. The work may or may not hint at the
ethnicity of its maker, but it consistently employs powerful
strategies to grapple with modern life in a global world.
