About
Exhibition Overview
Making in Between: Indigenous Americans is the third and final exhibition in AMOCA's "Making in Between" series, which brings together works by artists who explore identity, culture, and community. This exhibition features works by Mercedes Dorame, Anita Fields, Courtney M. Leonard, and Cannupa Hanska Luger, artists who embrace their heritage and explore boundary-pushing themes of identity, culture, history, and community. The exhibition introduces a breadth of unique narratives from these trailblazing artists and complicates viewers' expectations of what constitutes contemporary Indigenous art.
