Neo Native

The exhibition, made possible with support from the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians and others, seeks to share the vision of artists whose work is informed by traditions within tribal cultures, but whose themes express a newfound contemporary narrative.

"We are exploring ways that traditional forms and practices, iconography and ancestral mythologies influence the expression of contemporary Native artists' urbanity, modernity, technology and social priorities," said Abeyta.

Featured artists (and tribal affiliations) include:

Christi Belcourt (Metis), Gerald Clarke, Jr. (Cahuilla), Craig George (Navajo - Diné), Steven Paul Judd (Kiowa/Choctaw), Monty Little (Diné), Cannupa Hanska Luger (Arikara/Hidatsa/Mandan/Lakota), Kent Monkman (Cree), Cara Romero (Chemehuevi), Diego Romero (Cochiti Pueblo), and Preston Singletary (Tlingit).
