Special Spotlight: Land Back
A Tiny Gallery Art Takeover in Lenapehoking
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Join
us on November
1, at 8 Stanford Place for the opening reception of Land Back: A
Tiny Gallery Takeover in Lenapehoking,
curated by Jennifer Ley.
In
celebration of Native American Heritage Month and Interwoven
Power: Native Knowledge/Native Art at the
Montclair Art Museum, Tiny Gallery presents Land Back
featuring collections from seven contemporary Native
artists installed in six Tiny Galleries across
Montclair, Glen Ridge, and Bloomfield, New Jersey—all
part of Lenapehoking, the ancestral homelands of the
Lenape people.
Art
allows us to examine the past, interpret the present,
and envision the future, and Ley’s curation of Land Back brings
the stories of Indigenous Americans, too often
dismissed or overlooked, forward.
