Re-Discovering Native America: Stories in Motion with The Red Road Project

April 13 – June 23, 2024

Featuring nearly 100 photographs accompanied by a selection of 3D artworks by acclaimed Native American artists, Re-Discovering Native America: Stories in Motion with The Red Road Project highlights contemporary narratives from Indigenous individuals and communities across the country.

This exhibition showcases photographs and stories collected between 2013 and 2024, aiming to redirect the narrative surrounding contemporary Native America. The collection includes landscape and portrait photographs, offering a glimpse into the lives of community activists and leaders who walk “the red road,” a symbolic expression in many Native communities for living purposefully on a path of positive change. Additionally, the exhibition introduces a new set of photographs and stories collected during a special Bay Area residency in February 2024, highlighting the unique stories of Indigenous people in Northern California and, specifically, the Bay Area.

Augmenting these captivating photographs is a selection of 3D works by celebrated Native artists that further explore the rich cultural heritage and artistic expression of Indigenous peoples. Re-Discovering Native America seeks to acknowledge the historical trauma endured by Native American communities while celebrating their resilience, resistance, and revitalization in the face of ongoing challenges.

Participating 3D Artists: Danielle Boyer, Tyler Eash, Chelsea Kaiah, Brent Learned, Dallin Mayee, Carmen Selam, Anna Tsoularakis.
