Highpoint Editions Artist, Raven Chacon is featured in a new exhibition titled An Indigenous Present. This exhibit spans 100 years of modern and contemporary Indigenous work and “includes new commissions and significant works by 15 artists who use strategies of abstraction to represent personal and collective narratives, describe specific and imagined places, and build upon cultural and aesthetic traditions. Co-organized by artist Jeffrey Gibson and independent curator Jenelle Porter, the exhibition offers an expansive consideration of Indigenous art practices that highlights a continuum of elders and emerging makers, and premieres newly commissioned site-specific works by Raven Chacon, Caroline Monnet, and Anna Tsouhlarakis.” This show is organized into five interconnected thematic sections that begin with a focus on the work of George Morrison and Mary Sully, two important forebears in the development of contemporary Indigenous art during the first half of the 20th century. The exhibition will begin it’s tour in Boston, and will then be shown at the Frist Art Museum before making it’s way to the Frye Art Museum in Seattle, come November, 2026.
