Hope with Humor: Works by Jaune Quick-To-See Smith from the Collection
Organized in conjunction with Indigenous Identities: Here, Now & Always, this exhibition brings together prints and paintings by Jaune Quick-to-See Smith from the permanent collection that honor Indigenous survival and resilience with both wit and optimism. Quick-to-See Smith has said, “Perhaps the preeminent issue in the Indian world is plain survival. Beyond that it means retaining our own cultures, governments, languages, religions, and ceremonies…I am telling stories about hope with humor. We wouldn’t be here if we didn’t have hope.”
Generous support for bilingual text was provided by Art Bridges Foundation’s Access for All program.
