National Museum of the American Indian: NY | Indigenous Art Through the Lens of Glass

Contemporary Indigenous artists Preston Singletary (Tlingit), Dan Friday (Lummi), and Jody Naranjo (Kha’p’o Owingeh [Santa Clara Pueblo]) share how they use the medium of glass to express Indigenous stories, designs, and contemporary issues. Visitors can see the artists’ work in the exhibition
Clearly Indigenous: Native Visions Reimagined in Glass
which traces 45 years of Native glass art and showcases approximately 120 artworks by 29 Indigenous artists.

Clearly Indigenous: Native Visions Reimagined in Glass was originated by the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture, Santa Fe, New Mexico, where it was curated by Dr. Letitia Chambers and Cathy Short (Potawatomi). The traveling exhibit was curated by Dr. Chambers and is toured by International Arts & Artists. Generous support provided by Janet and David Offensend.
