SUMMARY:Future Imaginaries: Indigenous Art\, Fashion\, Technology
DESCRIPTION:September 7\, 2024 – June 21\, 2026 \nSamuel & Minna Grodin Gallery \n\n\n\n\nAbout the Exhibition\n\nFuture Imaginaries explores the rise of Futurism in contemporary Indigenous art as a means of enduring colonial trauma\, creating alternative futures and advocating for Indigenous technologies in a more inclusive present and sustainable future. Over 50 artworks are on display\, some interspersed throughout the museum\, creating unexpected encounters and dialogues between contemporary Indigenous creations and historic Autry works. Artists such as Andy Everson\, Ryan Singer and Neil Ambrose Smith wittily upend pop-culture icons by Indigenizing sci-fi characters and storylines; Wendy Red Star places Indigenous people in surreal spacescapes wearing fantastical regalia; Virgil Ortiz brings his own space odyssey\, ReVOlt 1680/2180\, to life in a new\, site-specific installation. By intermingling science fiction\, self-determination\, and Indigenous technologies across a diverse array of Native cultures\, Future Imaginaries envisions sovereign futures while countering historical myths and the ongoing impact of colonization\, including environmental degradation and toxic stereotypes.

SUMMARY:The McKinnon Family: From Basketry to Bowls
DESCRIPTION:The McKinnon Family: From Basketry to Bowls\nCurated by Dennis McKinnon\nDennis McKinnon\, Yurok\nHonoring Heritage Through Woodworking \nDennis McKinnon is a proud Yurok Tribe member with Tolowa and Yurok ancestry. He spent his early years along the Klamath River on McKinnon Hill and in Klamath\, Ca.\, Del Norte County. \nIn 1962\, the McKinnons moved to Blue Lake\, Ca.\, Humboldt County. Raised by a Yurok father and a Tolowa/Yurok mother\, Dennis grew up immersed in Native culture and community. \nAfter retiring from a federal career in engineering and computer science\, Dennis returned to woodworking – skills taught by his father. Through segmented woodturning\, he creates wood art inspired by traditional Yurok basket designs. \n“I appreciate the role the McKinnon Family has played in preserving the Yurok cultural identity\, and my hope is that my interpretation of this art and craftmanship contributes to that legacy.” – Dennis McKinnon

SUMMARY:Rose B. Simpson: LEXICON
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition brings together two seemingly distinct art forms: Pueblo pottery and classic cars. In 2014\, Rose B. Simpson\, a mixed-media artist from Santa Clara Pueblo\, New Mexico\, refurbished a 1985 Chevy El Camino\, transforming it with a black-on-black Tewa pottery motif. Simpson titled her work Maria in honor of renowned artist Maria Martinez (San Ildefonso Pueblo\, 1887–1980)\, who popularized the distinctive black-on-black style. Ten years later\, this exhibition debuts Simpson’s second customized car\, a 1964 Buick Riviera painted in vibrant polychrome. Both cars are presented against an expansive geometric design\, evoking the environment of the Southwest and transforming Wilsey Court into a bold\, contemporary expression of Pueblo pottery traditions. Through this use of scale and space\, Simpson forges connections between the ancestral and contemporary\, and forms a new visual vocabulary\, or lexicon\, to assert her cultural heritage and its continuity.

SUMMARY:Sustainers of Life
DESCRIPTION:Sustainers of Life\, co-curated by Cecelia Caro and Laurie Steelink\, features seven artists exploring intersectional themes through installation\, sculpture\, photography\, illustration\, and painting.

Honoring women as sustainers of cultural knowledge and community healing\, this exhibition weaves together personal narratives within broader historical contexts.
