## Caption

As part of #VoicesOfHope, we have collaborated with Keyes Art Projects (keyesartgallery) to highlight the work of five Native American artists who draw from various elements of their rich culture and individual experiences. 👉Swipe to view each image. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
1️⃣ “Walter Bradby” by Ethan Brown: Brown is a self-taught artist who works in a variety of media, including the traditional practice of gourd painting and carving. Brown is the descendant of Walter Bradby, chief of the Pamunkey in the late 1930s and the subject of this painting. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
2️⃣ Jeremy Dennis is a contemporary fine-art photographer and a tribal member of the Shinnecock Indian Nation in Southampton, New York. In his work, he explores indigenous identity and assimilation. His project “On This Site" uses photography and an interactive online map to showcase culturally significant Native American sites on Long Island. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
3️⃣ “War Torn Dress” by Jaune Quick-to-See Smith: Raised on the Flathead Reservation, Quick-to-See Smith creates work that addresses the stories of her ancestors in the context of current issues that face Native Americans. Using clothing to highlight the human element of her powerful indigenous narratives, this diptych format literally tears the dress in two, reminding the viewer of the brutal American practice of tearing Native communities from their land under the guise of civilizing them. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
4️⃣ “Four Seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter” by Wendy Red Star: Star was born in Billings, Montana, just outside of the Crow Reservation where she was raised. “Four Seasons” is the result of Red Star’s visit to a natural history museum, where the standard format for displaying non-Western art and culture was through diorama.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
5️⃣ “Four Directions / Stillness” by Kay WalkingStick: WalkingStick can trace her Cherokee lineage back to 1830s Oklahoma. In “Four Directions / Stillness,” we see how WalkingStick uses the diptych format to make clear distinctions between the physical and spiritual forms of existence, while firmly stating that they are also invariably connected.
