This show will feature sixty-five works by thirty-eight artists, including two significant new commissions, making it a landmark exhibition of contemporary Indigenous North American art on a scale never seen before in the UK. Hold to this Earth features sculpture, film, photography, painting, ceramics and fibre art highlighting the broad spectrum of work being produced by Indigenous North American artists today.

Representing over 35 different Tribal Nations and multiple generations, the exhibition highlights both established voices and emerging artists who are shaping contemporary art today. They reference and honour ancestral knowledge whilst being steadfastly contemporary, asserting a powerful presence and countering narratives of erasure that too often position Indigenous cultures only in terms of the past. Materials such as clay, hide, wool, beads and natural pigments become carriers of powerful stories, memory and tradition, rooted in connection to the earth. Newer modes of expression and understanding growing out of digital culture also speak to the shifting landscapes of Indigenous life in the 21st century.
