Join Dr. Gwendolyn Saul, Curator of Ethnography at the New York State Museum, for an engaging exploration of five remarkable Mohican and Haudenosaunee women artists whose work speaks powerfully to Indigenous experiences, histories, and creativity rooted in their homeland territories in what is now New York State. Beginning with Six Nations artist Shelley Niro, whose work is currently on view at the NYSM, Dr. Saul will introduce artists whose practices reflect distinct cultural traditions, materials, and contemporary expressions connected to their communities. Participants will have the opportunity to view artworks from the Museum’s collections, including a sneak peek at two recent acquisitions!
This in-person talk invites visitors to deepen their understanding of Indigenous art, sovereignty, and storytelling through the voices of women shaping the present and future of their communities.
