The October 24th presentation, “New Interpretations of American Indian Cultures in Glass Art” will provide details on the coming together of these two movements and the reciprocal influence of Chihuly on Native glass art and of Native arts on Chihuly’s aesthetics. Several of the leading glass artists and their works will be featured and the primary influences on their glass art creations will be discussed. Whether reinterpreting traditional art forms or articulating contemporary issues, Native glass artists have created a rich body of work, melding the properties inherent in glass art with their cultural ways of knowing.
Clearly Indigenous: Native Visions Reimagined in Glass was originated by The Museum of Indian Arts and Culture, Santa Fe, New Mexico. The traveling exhibit was curated by Dr. Letitia Chambers, and is toured by International Arts & Artists.
Organized by International Arts & Artists
