Forging New Directions
in Alaska Native Art (Including works from Nicholas Galanin).
Today’s Alaska Native artists create works both in traditional and contemporary modes. This exhibit features the work of 18 Alaska Native artists who honor their cultural heritage with works that diverge from traditional expressions. Their innovative approaches to their artistic practice explore such themes as tradition, cultural identity and politics.
